There are a few out there. I have seen a couple, but not more. At least one is in the hands of one of our members. There is no way to determine the number of "late tens" that are chambered for the mag ten cartridge unless you examine the IBM cards individually. The later stock books may also indicate 3 1/2" chambering. The frame size was #3, but late short chambered tens were also built on the #3 frame. Some earlier pre Remington tens were chambered for the modern 3 1/2" shell, but they are even rarer than the Remington era guns. A PGCA letter would be the only way to identify one of those.
