I may be wrong, but ten pound barrels are about the heaviest I have seen. It should have 36" barrels.

36 and 3/16 inches to be exact, and they are very heavy. I remember when I was just a kid I was not able to hold the gun to my shoulder and aim it.

If there was ever a gun worthy of restoration, this would have to be it. Many (myself included) get weak in the knees over the small bores, but there is something about this gun that really talks.
Kind of reminds me of those huge armorers models of the 1917 Brownings, only this one is the real deal. |

Casey, could you tell us the frame size.... the number is on the center lug to the right in your 2nd picture.
Great gun and piece of family history. Looks like a 7 Bob |

The lug has a '7' stamped on it. The check hook lug has some different machine work done to it. My 1886 vintage 3 frame 10 gauge is not like that. Is it unique?
