I bought the 28” I have thru online auction while in the Philippines. I’d gotten a letter etc on that gun before I ever bid . I think one possibly two years ago you told me about another 28” and I planned to do the online bidding thing , but fell asleep watching TV and the auction went on by :rotf:

I’d like to have factory original EH 24” and or 26” but they’re less than ten of each length if my memory is correct . 34” is plenty long enough for me so possible 36” 38” and 40” I’ll leave to Mr. Roberts and Mr. Hoover :whistle:

Craig I recently acquired a 32" steel barreled PH 10 that weighs in just a tick over 9.5 lbs. That's about all the weight I care to be swinging. I am going to step down and let Mr. Hoover handle those heavy weight big bores. He's much better suited for that sort of gun than yours truly.

What length is your first 10 gauge ? That ones a 34 incher correct ?

Mr. Hoover is a fair bit younger than you and I so he's better suited to swing those big brutes :rotf:

The Grade 2 top lever 32" gun I bought at Hauseman's last june is plenty heavy enough . I can do well enough with it but at 10 1/2 pounds that one will tire you out over a tower shoot or a 100 bird round .

I'd say thats somewhat the under statement atleast as far as I'm concerned :rotf:

But on a side note I've made it so far in 2023 and NOT bought a gun :whistle:

Why have so many of these guns been cut to open chokes rather than properly honed? I have a couple of fixed choke guns that I have had the chokes opened on to shoot steel, no big deal with a competent smith. NONE were Parkers!

An abundance of the guns at the Guyette Deeter auction the other weekend suffered the dreaded barrel chop .

Yes Sir, the CH is a 34" gun at something around 10 3/4 lbs as I recall. I really like that gun but whew it's a load for me. Attached is the one that's really growing on me, I think you will approve. We'll see if I can shoot it.

Is that the 34" AHE 12? No it is not. I will answer my own question. You buy so many I can't keep up. :whistle:
