Range day with the Parker 10 gauges

I think a poll would find a number of hunters who carry their hammer guns loaded but open until there's a point. I often do when preserve hunting in open ground, especially if hunting with someone else. You have to be careful to not lose shells, but that's a small price to pay for safety.

most hammer guns are easly cocked...I have a dingle barrel 12 ga that is very hard to cock and the trigger pull is about 15 lbs...its my great grandpaws gun bought new by him...I would fix the trigger and hammer if it not his gun...charlie

Several years back some shotgun primer mfgs switched to using aluminum in there primers instead of brass. I had to retire my wifes .410 311 and have had to make a firing pin on a Ithica N I D. If the guns have non rebounding locks they can drive the pins in so far as to break off the pin tips when opened,use care take the forend off and wiggle untill the pin leaves the primer. Will
