My experience is that many or most #4 frame tens were built for pigeons. Many I have seen are provenanced to known competition shooters and are specified at 11 pounds and 32" barrels and in the higher grades. Does anyone know of a #4 frame gun in Zero Grade? I don't know of one below Grade 3. Three higher grade #4 frame top lever guns have 33" barrels, and all three of those were ordered at 11 pounds for known competition shooters. They were not duck guns. I do know of one big gun made for a competition shooter that was a waterfowl gun, but that is a "real" big gun.
