Only issue I had with it was needing the hammer screws . And of course my recently acquired Jewish outlook on spending
![]() Maybe I outta sell 90% of my guns bank most of the money and get a new set of Callaway clubs and start chasing the little white ball again LOL's ! |

My Short Tens are utilitarian. From top to bottom, a 30" 8 3/4 lb Remington 1894 AE, a Lefever 30" 9.5 lb G grade, and a 32" 10 lb 5 oz, Parker NH. All with modern dimensions. Each has their place, the Parker is the most comfortable with heavy loads, the Remington is the nicest to carry around and is the tightest shooting of the three guns at 93%.
The 2 7/8" 10ga is fun to shoot, they will break clays and kill birds at very long range. If you shoot them enough you will learn why the 10ga was banned from competition shooting. Factory loads are a bit cost prohibitive but reloading is easy once you learn to trim hulls and use a filler wad inside the shot cup. Short Ten = Big Fun

Pete reminded me that I had forgotten to mention my seven or eight ten gauge Lefevers, a collection I started before I entered high school. I also have an 1889 Remington that is so minty that I am afraid to show it at a gun show for fear of being accused of displaying a refinished gun. It isn't. It has steel barrels, 30", is about mint. Anyone interested? I really love the tens.

Hmmm I only really really like the 10 , 16 and 28 . I just really like the 12 , 20 and 410 . And I am wishing for an 8 !
I wouldn't call mine an affliction but rather A WEAKNESS ![]() Luckily the 14 , 24 and 32 don't intrest me . But then again if I ran across a Parker 14 well who knows

I now have two. I've been using my American Arms turkey special sxs from the canoe on geese. I've just inherited my Dad's Pride of Spain sxs. The set screw that holds the cam in the forearm broke and the smith is trying to get a replacement.
