There is a photo in the back of Vol 2 of The Parker Story of a DH 10 gauge with 40 inch barrels.

Thanks for pictures

Now that's bird hunting. Reminds me of dove hunting years ago. 40-50 to the flock one after another. WOW!!!!

I hunt a lot off horse back but that's shooting off horse back!

That is the reason for the long barrels - to get the muzzle out past the horses head. Kind of like the old camel guns of north Africa.

I thought about you when I saw that picture. When you told me we were going to be hunting quail on horseback I thought you meant we would be shooting them from horseback. My family thought I was nuts to be hunting like that.
:rotf:

So did the OP ever get his 8 gauge and live happily ever after? Personally, I would have hung on to the 10.

Dave, we would like to see a picture of the PGCA letter and we would also like to know what the fate of the 10 is and how your 8 gauge search is coming along.
