Jack Puglisi let me shoulder the 6 frame 12 at the Vegas show. It must be ten years ago now. Big gun but once you got it swinging it kept going. I think a 3 1/2 magnum would feel like a 22 long rifle. He sold it not long after. I wonder who has it now.

I wonder if it was chambered for 3 inch shells? 3 1/2? The unstruck barrels weigh more than most of my finished guns.

Looks like that 6 frame 12 was made specifically to test proof loads

Looks to me to be designed to run on leftover dynamite should you run out of ammo.....

Does anyone know how long the barrels are? With the chamber wall thickness as heavy as it looks, I am somewhat suprised that they are only marked 7/13. My 6 frame 8 gauge with 36" barrels are marked 9/1.

Charlie, I think I own your dream gun. I have a #6 frame hammerless that was originally an 8 gauge and was rebarreled at Parker Brothers with ten gauge Vulcan Steel barrels chambered 3 1/2", probably before Parker advertised 3 1/2" guns. It may be the first modern, fluid steel 10 gauge chambered for the 3 1/2" magnum shells. Unfortunately, it is a 13 pounder or better and not pleasant to carry.
