I have two short tens - one a Grade 3 Lifter and the other is a set of very stout 30", 2-frame Damascus barrels that I haven't finished fitting to my 1898 DH. This will make its 4th set of barrels. Barrel set #1 are the 30" Titanic barrels it was made with; barrel set #2 are 30" Damascus barrels Russ Bickel fit to the gun for me; barrel set #3 is a set of 26" Damascus barrels with open chokes; and barrel set#4 are these heavy 30" 10-gauge barrels with reversed chokes. Don't ask me why I did this.... "it was fun" is the best answer I can come up with.
The lifter has killed two nice longbeards for me and a couple of jakes.... who knows what my other 10 will do for me. But it'll be fun, whatever it is.
