Grade L 10 ga.

[OLD GEEZER]

I have three 10 ga. guns and one of them is a grade L with 34 inch laminated steel barrels. The barrels are 9.7 lb and the ser. no is 46329. I believe this is probably not to common of gun.Please give me thoughts on this. Thanks Thomas L. Benson Sr.

Thomas does the gun have a pigeon buttplate if so it is a Folsom gun

[OLD GEEZER]

Gary: It has a dog butt plate. It is also a hammer gun with a 5 frame and the barrels are massive. Thomas

your 10 ga barrels weigh more than my 8 ga barrels...i think the 8 s were 8 lbs and8 ounce...thomas you need to post us a picture of this gun im glad you have this monster 10...i think the no 5 frame and those heavy barrels were some ancient duck or goose hunters doings...be nice to know who ordered the gun this way...pretty neat i say... i believe you stirred up some interesting find..... charlie

Charlie: It is a heavy duty gun for sure. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow if possible because this computer and i don't see eye to eye somtimes. I usually need my grand daughter to help. Thomas

I was hoping someone could see what lenth barrels it came from the factory with because even though these are 34 inch barrels they could have been longer and someone cut them. Thomas

Tom,
According to the serial # book your gun should have 34" barrels.
