10 ga PH on a #6 frame ?

Milton, you are right! I have a fair number but have hardly scratched the surface with all the grades, gauges and variations out there.

Im always looking on guns international and gunbroker to see if any new ones have been listed . One thing I like about guns of this age or perhaps its just the big gauges . They dont look to sell quickly so that gives me more time to save money . I actually layawayed a 10 ga hammer gun once that was a consignment gun which usually you cant do . The owner though had the gun so long and couldnt get it sold . I actually ended up getting it 250$ cheaper than they had it listed as . Im trying to stay away from buying a English gun and save money for a Parkers . That recessed hinge pin is just iconic and unmistakable .

From what ive seen it looks like the lifter models are lower in cost than the top actions ?

I can’t imagine why.

The lifter mechanism is safer and more ergonomic. It is certainly the favorite action for many of us.

Must have had something to do with condition of the guns you saw at lower prices.

Well the top actions I have seen were mostly grade 3s and the Lifters were G grades or lower . Im still trying to learn all the different grades lol.

I like the lifters since it is distinctive to a Parkers . Ive read though that Parker collectors really like grade 3 top actions ?

Given the choice I would prefer the Grade 3 Lifters, of which I have a few....

Theres certainly nothing wrong with lifters and top lever hammer guns .

BUT if "I" have to choose one variety it's always going to be hammerless
