Lets see the first 10 gauge double to arrive in our house was probably 1980 or so my pop bought this 1922 Ithaca NID Grade 2 32" barreled 10 gauge . I never fired it until a couple years ago . Then this past hunting season I shot this little unlucky buck with it at about 20 yards handloaded #3 Buck in the right barrel and handloaded 000 Buck in the left barrel .



Have a circa 1881 W&C Scott 10 gauge 30" that my grnadfathers owned since about 1948 and at his death it came into my possession . It was given to him by Marion DuPont Scott . She happened to be a descendant of the DuPont powder Co. as well as owning the first American bred American owned horse to win the Grand National in England back in the 30's . I've owned this gun for 8 years now , I'd rather it was still with my grandfather and he was still here . This also happens to be the gun that got me started loading the short 10's . Twenty years before I had loaded 3 1/2" for a Remington SP-10 . Anyway here are a couple pics of the W&C with deer and dove it killed a few years back .






Picked a LC Smith Quality 2 circa 1890 10 gauge last summer . Needed to make a new firing pin otherwise it was okay . Used it last year during the DCP hunting and popped a doe at about 12 yards with handloaded #1 Buck .



We've had this nice old 1845-1860 manufacture "Macfarlane" 10 gauge muzzle loader for about 20 years and I finally got around to shooting it this year . Have a nice load using 80 grains 2Fg and 12 "000" pellets . Plan to plow a deer with it this ML season .



This is a J Manton I bought by mistake about 5 years ago , it's a POS but I worked on it a bit and shot it some .





And finally my latest and FIRST Parker 10 gauge . A circa 1884 Grade 2 with 32" barrels that seem to be choked about IC/M on a #3 frame . Actually finalized the deal for this one yesterday .
