EH 10 gauge #3 32"

EH and NH Parkers are great working guns. I know several of us on here who own and shoot them. You see photos of A grades and high condition Parkers in museums. You see photos of EH and NH's in duck boats.

Well I now have an EH #2 with 30" barrels and this EH #3 with 32" barrels .

I looked thru the serial number book looking for hammerless 28" 10 gauge guns and found more listed then I expected . Anyway I'll keep eyes open for one of them also hopefully EH grade .

While I was looking for the 28" guns I also watched for 26" and 24" . I found very few hammerless 10 gauge in 26" or 24" but there were a few .

Shot #1 Bismuth loads at 40 yards !

New Remington hulls cut to 2 7/8" , 1 1/4 ounces Bismuth #1 , REM SP-10 wad , 30 grains SR7625 and a CCI209 primer shot at 40 yards !

These are kinda self explanatory .

Monday morning weather permitting I plan on trying this new to me Parker with handloaded #1 Bismuth on the pattern board . And then try hanloaded 000 , 00 , 0 , 1 and 2 buckshot all buffered but shoot these on paper at 25 yards the Bismuth I'll try at 40 yards .

Strangely with both of these guns being approx IM or tighter they both show a liking for 000 . And it just so happens I have 15-20 pounds of Remington 000 someone gave me a few years ago . I've had very nice results in the past on deer with 000 , 00 , 0 and 1 . Over the next year or two I wanna take a few with #2 and 3 buck most likely in the 20 gauge guns but then again they seem to do nicely in this 10 gauge as well .

I think you have a nice gun. I think I had purchased it and returned it several weeks ago. I only returned it because I need a set of 32" #3 frame Damascus barrels and the holes for the sling mount would have shown up after refinishing. I would have kept it anyway if the sling swivels had lettered. However, I have a 16 gauge #0 frame DH that has sling swivels that do letter and the barrel mount looks nearly identical to the mount on this gun. It looks tasteful to me. I ordered a letter on this gun and I would be happy to give it to you if you would like it.
