so far, one Parker - fishtail 2 frame hammer gun - 32 inch twist tubes, fairly good condition for its age.



and a nice J P Clabrough found as a basket case in a PA antique shop, jammed locks, broken hammers and damascus barrels showing light rust on the outside but bright bores. a little luck and lot of work and it is ready for work again.

I have a few new short 10s. This one, American Arms, I have had for about a year and will be using this year for waterfowl along with my Parker Hammer 10.

I bought it about 25 years ago from a guy in Duluth. #3 frame. I had Kirk Merrington resleeve it and chamber it for 3.5" magnums and choke it full and modified. With the advent of steel I took the chokes out to cylinder and cylinder and it patterns great with Fasteel. I can shoot an ounce and three eights load but the ounce and five eights just kicks too much. But if your on your lead the gun will easily dump a greenhead at 70 yards.
The beauty of the 10's is the short shot string.
It's got a big extender pad on it. The guy before me must have been short.I'm thinking of restocking it with a straight stock and a skeleton butt.
A friend of mine says you can stretch those old actions shooting those big shells but it hasn't happened yet and I don't think it will. Parker's are just too stout for that.
Tx,
Alan

Charlie,
8 pounds, 3 oz. not heavy enough for heavy steel loads, at least for me.
You have a nice brace of guns! I'll bet that Remington is a piece of work!
