Charlie I am in Mexico right now so I do not have access to my 3 frame 10 gauge GHE hammerless. I believe my barrels are about 6 1/2 lbs. and they are 36". Sounds like this could be a really cool old gun.

I do not see how 3 frame barrels would weigh 7 lbs even if they are straight tubes without striking the barrels. Very interesting Charlie cant wait to see what come of this.

Hi Charlie, my post is similar to what Bill said about his 8 ga. For comparison, my five frame 10 gauge hammer gun with 34" tubes is stamped 7 lbs 1 oz. It weighs 12.5 lbs.
You have to get pictures of this gun and post. A 3 frame? It sounds like it is a monster. |

Won't that be something if the gun turns out to be an 8 bore.

Charlie a serial number and some more specific information on the markings would help. I know you will need more information before you write a check.

Charlie,
One 10 GA NH 30" #3 frame I have is stamped 5/4. Barells are .050 thick minimum. Gun weighs 9 pounds. I do not see how that gun could be a 3 frame 10 gauge and weigh that much or have barrels that weighed that much in 10 gauge. Something is not right with the frame size, barrel weight, or gauge in my humble opinion. |
