The short ten is a mighty killer. I've taken ducks, geese and turkeys. I've used RST's and then switched to hand loading all brass hulls using both smokeless and black powder. This past April I killed a turkey stone dead at 60 yards using black powder and 1 5/8 oz of #5 shot. I'm a believer in the short ten's ability

I think Richland or American Arms or some company marketed an O/U 10 gauge turkey gun with 22" barrels I think . Anyway I was somewhere back when they were being made and saw one to pick it up . I thought the gun actually handled pretty well .

I sold my long time friend, an AYA lightweight that I hauled around for many years. I am now left with Parkers, hammerless, top action, and lifter, L.C. Smith pre 1913 Ideal Grade, a Lindner hammer with single trigger, a 1900 Harrington and Richardson single, a Sarasqueta Honker single barrel, a mag ten NID Ithaca, a little Sauer bird gun at 6 1/4 pounds, and maybe one or two others. I would like to add a couple of more early Smiths and maybe a Lindner hammerless. My favorite may be the D Grade #4 frame hammer gun that my friend Harry Collins sold to my high school buddy and PGCA member, George Blair. I bought the gun after George passed away. I love the 11 pound #4 frames because they are indestructible and many have early competition shooter provenance.
