I have 5949, a 10 ga D also with the recessed hinge pin. It's the one on the first page with the big longbeard.

Mine also is on the 1866 and 1875 patents.

I prefer #6 shot for Tennessee gobblers. Very effective with properly choked gun.

I was hoping to go to North Carolina this spring and try to get one with my new 28 gauge Flintlock, with a Parker as a back up. Looks like if I go this year I will need to hunt near home in Rhode Island and they don’t have a muzzleloader season(or option).

I will use my tight choked #2 frame 10 gauge hammer gun, with 32” twist barrels. If I can shoot a swan with it...it should do well with turkeys too...

Mine, its going to be a Ithaca nid super 10 loaded with 1 1/2 oz of 6 s. This gives the patterns i have found in all my 10 s over the years.
Now if the state doesn't close the season with this flu thing going on. We have to go to a checking station to check in our birds and deer too.
Good luck
Scott

I'm planning on borrowing Bill Murphy's 40-inch barrel 8 ga. Davenport. We'll talk, Bill.

Harry and I plan to hit it hard this weekend and we are loaded for bear. Not sure what or how many guns are in the truck now.

I'm guessing you make way too much $$ to get one of those.......
