Milton, do you have a letter on your 6 frame?
It may have originally been ordered as an 8.

I don't have a letter myself but have seen the letter from when Craig owned it . It was ordered as a 10 gauge with a desired weight of 12 1/2lbs but finished at 12 3/4lbs if I remember correctly. I think perhaps Mr.Sims the original owner wanted a big gun but also something more versatile than a 8 gauge . He lived near alot of good waterfowling places and his family owned a 1000 acre plantation . So im thinking perhaps he used it for waterfowling and whatever he hunted on the plantation. Thats just my theory however .
