My goal is to own a grade 3 TL hammer guns in all frame sizes. 10ga in 2,3,4,5 and 6 frame. The O frame 20ga, 1 frame 16ga will be almost impossible as only 4 20's were made and only 22 16's. The hunt is half the fun!!

The 5 frames seem to be scarce. I have decided not to seek a 20 gauge hammer gun as there are so few and other people want them more.

Love the guns, but that painting of the prairie Chickens is outstanding!

I'm in the process of a model-21 20ga custom upgrade project. I'm having it engraved with a Prairie bird theme & will feature prairie chickens on the trigger plate.

Thanks Craig!!

Hunt illustrated ads for several gun and powder makers

Winchester



and esp. Remington UMC



I particularly like his woodcock & quail. The hunters usually carry a double, but none identifiable

I wonder if the larger frame 10 gauges balance the weight better than the heavy barreled #3 frames ? The 2 7/8 10 ga in a 10lb+ gun is very comfortable to me .

the 3 frame 10 with barrels in the 5 lb to 6 1/2 pounnd balance well for me my heavy barrel gun does not balance well at all....maybe if barrels are kept long 32 to 36 inches they may do well......a heavy gun was really made to come up over head for ducks and geese so balance is not really that important....
