10 gauge on #2 frame ?

[10 bore]

I have one too. It was my first 10 ga. From what i have found with most of the 2 frames 10 s is they were early hammerless guns. Remember the 1 st hammerless guns made were 12 ga. My guess they made 10 s on the early 12 ga frames to get some 10 ga guns out on the sales racks and to fill orders until they got the hammerless 3 frames made. ( thats my though on it ? ) My 10 is one of the 1 st 50 hammerless 10 s made. It's a eh 30 in. with Barrles choked .023 in both shoots 80% patterns weight is 8 3/4 lbs.

that 7 lb 10 ga would be rare on account of its light weight....that light weight would make a fine squirl gun....charlie

It is the lightest 10 I have seen , there is another thats in the 8lb range that is marked as a wells fargo gun that was cut down to 25"

Charlie on the other end of the spectrum I just seen a spanish sxs 10 ga that was 14 1/2 lbs !

I have heard of 10s being built on a #4 frame as well.
Is there anyway to tell the frames sizes apart just from looking?

Im going to be in the market for a parkers either a 10 or a 8ga in about 6 months and Im browsing all the different guns sites to see whats on the market .

I got a about 5 different guns I have my eye on .
The two 8 ga parkers I want to get the serial #s checked first to make sure they havnt had their barrels cut .

Have yall shot any of the RST 1 1/8oz loads in your #2 frame 10s ? I would think they would handle similar to a 12 ga just with longer barrels .
