Default Big Bore Guys

That 6-frame, 34-inch barrels, 10-gauge, Quality DH has been on GI for a couple of days and no discussion here?

I owned two, a 10ga D #6 frame 36 incher that weighted 15 pounds and PH 10ga #6 with 32"barrels. I decided if I was going to shoot a big bore it might as well be an 8ga, so both were sold to PGCA members. Now I own three Parker 8's all 6 frames, two 36 inchers and one 34".
The price posted for the GI gun seems very aggressive considering it's a Turnbullized gun in my opinion.

I’ve got a DH 8 on a 6 frame that gun would look very nice sitting beside . But I’m no great fan of the fact that someone got their hands on it and redid from it appears top to bottom . So the DH 10 I have on the 3 frame with 32” barrels will have to suffice .

I make a point of not shooting guns that weigh more than I do.

I despise a modern refinish, I'll stick with The Preacher.

While I couldn’t agree more we need to come to the realization that very few exquisite ones are left to surface , so sometimes re something is going to happen .

For me the 5 frame 10 ga 34" was more interesting it sold with only being listed for a few days I think. It was first listed as $4700 then it changed to por for whatever reason.
