I have always thought of the short 10 as an elegant "full size" shotgun. I don't currently have one, but have been been accused of cavorting with those who have.
Anyone remember John Shannefelt from the Sacramento area?

The red hulls are Climax heavies - the black ones say Climax on the brass and DuPont on the over shot card

The calls are an F Allen, a Ditto and an unmarked tongue pincher

Here is a plebe question. I recently acquired a 3 frame TA Damascus 10, in the 58,000 range with heavy barrels. Is it a given that it is a short 10? Or were there 10’s of that era meant to shoot the big stuff?

It should be a short ten. There were longer chambers on a few. But the extra length was for wads to improve the pattern. Not to shoot Roman candles in them

That's duck hunters for ya

Take a steel machinist's rule and measure the chambers. There's a very good possibility, probability yet, that the chambers have the rim at the front of the chamber rather than a forcing cone.

Gotcha..and am expecting short chambers........just kind of wondering when the big stuff started showing up...

Rick Losey 09-26-2018 07:41 AM
but still- even if the chambers are longer - the pressures it was designed for were not higher.

the modern 3 1/2 was introduced about 1932
