3 1/2 inch 10 Gauge

[OLD GEEZER]

I purchased a Mod. 711 Zabala that says made for Richland Arms Blissfield Mich back in the early 70's I believe and I still have it and is getting a little heavy to lug around but will get the job done. Thomas

Have not quite figured out pictures from phone, sorry. Shoot 3 1/2” 1 1/2 oz with great results.

the 8 ga will kill the deer and turkey for you i have done both...but as said the 3 1/2 inch 10 ga is very close to an 8 ga..i have shot 3 ounce of shot out of the 10 ga and the 8 ga the ten does not pattern well with this much shot..niether does the 8 ga but a 8 ga with large shot patterns real goodwith 2 1/2 ounce of bb shot a real good load for turkeys and coyotes...charlie

Heavy Metal Steel, these barrels are like steel water pipes.

Look at picture of barrel ends added in album, and this is the thin part.

My first 3.5" 10 ga. was a used Ithaca Mag 10 auto. Shortly after I bought it the extractor broke so I called Ithaca and asked if I could get a new one. The gentleman I talked to asked for the s.n. and when I told him he asked me to send the gun back for a rebuild. I told him it was used and it just needed an extractor. He explained to me that the first guns were designed around the then available rolled crimp shells and that they had digestion issues with the new pie crimped shells. Even though I wasn't the original owner the gun had a lifetime warranty so send it along. I did, and it has worked well ever since. It became my favorite late season duck gun until non-tox got stuffed down our throats. My favorite load was 2-1/4 oz of hard #5 shot. That gun is the only auto I ever liked.
