My big #6 frame hammerless ten weighs 13 pounds, 8 ounces, has 3 1/2" chambers, probably from the factory. It cannot be proven as factory because it is a late fluid steel factory rebarrel, no records available. It may predate the first factory 3 1/2" ten gauges. I have no idea why anyone would specify a ten gauge gun that heavy unless the "new" 3 1/2" ammunition threw a scare into waterfowlers. Maybe Dave Noreen can tell us when the 3 1/2" Super-X ammunition was introduced.
