10 Gauge Sickness
 

I don't know what you guys are all in a fuss about:rolleyes:

I've been thinking of joining like a 10 gauge support groups, like the AA 12 step program, these 10's are starting to become addictive:eek:

Thanks. I got a good chuckle out of that one Craig. Not to correct you but the Indiana Gun Cartel is actually up north. Word has it they're dug in like ticks somewhere up around Valpo, just saying.

One of the magnum duck 20’s is on my wishlist. I am not greedy either. 32” is all I need

I know a feller not to far from me that has two 20’s with the long chambers . Don’t think I could get one away from him with dynamite :rotf::rotf::rotf:

Seems to me I got a gun not to long ago that was stamped on the inside the forend Valparaiso Syndicate and of course it was a 10 gauge :rotf::rotf::rotf:

I’d like to try a top lever hammer 10 with barrels longer than 36” . Any ideas :whistle:

I seen one for sale in MD, would have been a good one for ya Craig, I'm thinking it would have made a great gun for swans:)

PH Twist steel barrels
 

Nate, sometimes you see the dangest things in the TPS charts.

I don't think the "19" in that chart refers to the normal Twist marked hammerless PH guns.

Bill, please tell us what it refers to.

I don’t think a Tundra Swans in my future but you never know

Steve, I assume the 14,000 plus Twist guns are the ones we are most familiar with in the 10 gauge PH grade category. These are listed as PT in the serialization book, page 63. T1 are early guns ending in 141,000 range, very scarce and beginning at serial number 1855. ST are Stub Twist, quite early, mostly hammer guns, and usually marked as such. PH and NH grade ten gauge hammerless guns with Twist barrels are among the most numerous and useful Parkers we find.

Twist barrels
 

Bill, I was going by the fact that the gun is marked Twist on the top of the rib and then T, not PT or ST, on the barrel flats. So if that's not correct then how do we ever know what they should be? It is confusing, otherwise. Maybe you have more definitive information that would help us understand. Or maybe a letter from Chuck would clear it up?
