( thats my though on it ? ) My 10 is one of the 1 st 50 hammerless 10 s made. It's a eh 30 in. with Barrles choked .023 in both shoots 80% patterns weight is 8 3/4 lbs.

I have heard of 10s being built on a #4 frame as well.
Is there anyway to tell the frames sizes apart just from looking?

Im going to be in the market for a parkers either a 10 or a 8ga in about 6 months and Im browsing all the different guns sites to see whats on the market .

I got a about 5 different guns I have my eye on .
The two 8 ga parkers I want to get the serial #s checked first to make sure they havnt had their barrels cut .

Have yall shot any of the RST 1 1/8oz loads in your #2 frame 10s ? I would think they would handle similar to a 12 ga just with longer barrels .
