Both Greener and Parker are awesome Hammer Guns. I sold my Greener because of a personal preference for Parkers. Also, I can go to this board or Parker functions and talk to real experts about any aspect of the Parker gun. I'm not aware of Greener having anything like that. When shooting old guns I like knowing there is in depth, expert advice just a click away

My experience is that many or most #4 frame tens were built for pigeons. Many I have seen are provenanced to known competition shooters and are specified at 11 pounds and 32" barrels and in the higher grades. Does anyone know of a #4 frame gun in Zero Grade? I don't know of one below Grade 3. Three higher grade #4 frame top lever guns have 33" barrels, and all three of those were ordered at 11 pounds for known competition shooters. They were not duck guns. I do know of one big gun made for a competition shooter that was a waterfowl gun, but that is a "real" big gun.
