3 frame 12g guns are just great! Hammer or hammerless.

I have a DHE #3 frame 12 gauge with SST, rebarreled by Remington and I think also restocked by them. Weighs in at around 8 lbs. 10 oz. with 30" barrels choked M/F. BTFE, 1940's period(?) recoil pad. AAH style checkering. Hasn't been used a lot from the condition of the finish.

Its looking for a new home, too.

My DH grade ten gauge magnum, sleeved by Lefever, was originally a 32" #3 frame 12 gauge. Fortunately, a ten gauge magnum Lefever sleeved gun is even more scarce than an original #3 frame 12 gauge. It is the first Parker I have seen with the rib expertly remarked "Lefever Steel" where the original "Damascus Steel" was removed.

I had one walk into the shop last week. It did not leave. A #3 frame 12 ga. 32" Damascus grade two top lever hammer gun. The barrels have 80% original finish, 20% color case, the wood is in great shape. I have not had a chance to clean it up yet. I will post pics after I do. It has great dimensions and swings wonderfully.

John, check your chamber length, I suspect they are 2 7/8 inches for 3 inch shells.

I'm waiting on a letter as we speak on what I believe to be a Grade 1 hammer 3 frame with 30 inch barrels which the book said was a 10 Ga. If interested I can post photo's. Thomas
