My Short Tens are utilitarian. From top to bottom, a 30" 8 3/4 lb Remington 1894 AE, a Lefever 30" 9.5 lb G grade, and a 32" 10 lb 5 oz, Parker NH. All with modern dimensions. Each has their place, the Parker is the most comfortable with heavy loads, the Remington is the nicest to carry around and is the tightest shooting of the three guns at 93%.
The 2 7/8" 10ga is fun to shoot, they will break clays and kill birds at very long range. If you shoot them enough you will learn why the 10ga was banned from competition shooting. Factory loads are a bit cost prohibitive but reloading is easy once you learn to trim hulls and use a filler wad inside the shot cup. Short Ten = Big Fun

Pete reminded me that I had forgotten to mention my seven or eight ten gauge Lefevers, a collection I started before I entered high school. I also have an 1889 Remington that is so minty that I am afraid to show it at a gun show for fear of being accused of displaying a refinished gun. It isn't. It has steel barrels, 30", is about mint. Anyone interested? I really love the tens.
