I’ve got a friend that has an early early Westley Richards 10 gauge hammergun that feels like a 16 gauge . Think that gun was made in the late 1860’s .

My 27" DH Damascus ten weighs seven pounds four ounces. My Krupp barrel 26" Sauer weighs six pounds four ounces. Somehow, the Sauer has perfectly acceptable wall thickness.

sounds like bill has the perfect bird gun..how is this gun choked bill... and where did you come up on this light weight 10.....charlie

Ive seen a few sub 8lb 10 gauges before .
Heres a 7lb Parker 10 gauge https://www.gunbroker.com/item/868437572
Would be interesting to see the letter on that one .

I read on another forum a fellow had a English 10 gauge that was 7lbs he used for quail.


Charlie ill dig it up later but I also seen a 7lb double 4 bore :shock:

7lbs 13 oz double 4 bore pigeon gun https://www.theexplora.com/harris-ho...ve-pigeon-gun/

this 10 ga for sale would be a good piece in any body s collection...and that 4 bore is an awesome gun...if there were still plenty of quail around my neck of the woods and I was younger I would be interested in this light 10 ga...now bill s 6 lb 10 ga really got my attention...charlie

Kind of odd it has cyl/cyl bores with 32" barrels if they are uncut which they claim to be . Charlie im surprised no one has made a titanium frame double gun with the or a titanium barreled one . A timascus double would be a thing to look at .

Parkers did make a #1 frame 10 ga I wonder what the weight on that thing was if anyone knows ?

I have an order copy for the #1 frame ten gauge, but it is buried right now. A search would probably uncover it on this forum. As I recall, the order did not mention weight.

Milton, I don't see where the gunbroker ten was listed at 7 pounds. Did you read something that you did not really see?

Last picture shows 7lbs , he has some English made 10s in that range also .
I think that may be the lightest 2 frame 10 he has . The other ones I think are in the 8.5lb range .

Actually it isn’t 7 pounds that’s 7 pounds 2 1/2 ounces . Granted that’s not a great amount over 7 pounds but it isn’t 7 pounds it’s more .
