Determining gauge of gun

[David Codding]

Thanks, Bill. The barrel weight is 6 lbs 13 ounces and it's 36 inches long. I guess this gun would be called a "flocker". And you a probably right...it's too old too have a gauge stamp.

Wow, that sounds like some wonderful gun. We can't wait to hear about your PGCA letter. #6 frame tens are quite scarce. My #6 frame PH grade 34" ten weighs more than 13 pounds and the barrels are unstruck eight gauge diameter with .100 inch minimum barrel wall thickness. It was originally an eight gauge, factory rebarrelled to ten gauge when eight gauges were outlawed for migratory fowl.
