2 Frame 10 gauges

[Richard Flanders]

I'd love to see pics of the 26" CH10. I'd love to have a light 10ga also. I'm afraid everything else might go unused if I had one. What a perfect pheasant gun.

How many forend's does the gun have? If only one then perhaps it says;

"Forget wood problem & make his forend do" ?

Just my guess.

Bruce, the first XXX is "Fit extra set". The copy is too light for me to figure out any more. Can you make the copy contrast more?

[Dean Romig]

Bruce, can you photograph that page from a better angle or in better light?

[Richard Flanders]

I still can't make it out; is the last "fwd" ??

What a gorgeous gun! My dream gun!!

I've been agonizing over the loss of Oprah.

And to think that gun was right here in my home town at one time. Bruce what do you know about J.B. Stevens Jr., please tell.

"Make trigger forward"??

I looked Stevens up on the internet and found that Sr and Jr were NH politicians and local leaders.

The gun had fallen upon hard times and changed hands a lot at the gunshow cordwood tables, kind of like the posts we see here: " I got me this here old gun, it says Parker, what is it and how much kin ah git fur it". It was mistreated and decrepit. First Austin Hogan then me poured effort and money into the gun....its been a project but it shoots well and looks pretty good now, I think. Heavy gun with the thick walled 12ga barrels and I've shot some heavy loads through it that would make an 870 owner proud. The 10's are light uplands and I've used them with RST loads when I want to throw a lot of shot in a wide pattern, but I usually use a tight choked 16ga. Its still a 7 3/4lb gun with the 10's so its not light.

You got me Bill. The triggers are in their usual orientation.
