Another former big bore shooter has come over to the dark side. You'll be banished from circles of hunters that shoot booming, kicking howitzers, and told you're a cruel fool.
Best to lay low.
Now that you've 'drank the water', here's some of my 410s. And No, I don't have a 410 sxs problem. I just buy all the 410 sxs guns I can afford. Still, all these put together didn't cost me what a single real 410 Parker is worth.
An old Nitro someone put too much money into. I sold it to a friend a few years ago.
A composed pair of late 1920s Ithaca NID Field grade, both are ejector, 28" barrels, which came down the production line together, 3 serial numbers apart. One was sold on the east coast, the other to the west coast. I found them still on opposite coasts, one in the Seattle area, the other in NC. Walt said there's no record of any NIDs having 28" barrels. All records show 26". So, 28" is very rare for NID 410s of which 790 were made.
A Mario Beschi/ICD parts gun. 28" ejector NID copy.
My 28ga Repro with Galazan 28" 410 barrels. Incredibly perfect fit to the receiver.
And the latest one, a Ferlib Italian made gun, I haven't picked up yet.
5lbs 6oz, 28" barrels. Tiny action with super small rose and scroll.
