Nice gun Bruce. Pouring money into one because you like it, good to know, I don't feel so alone. I remember a thread a while back. I think this guy was the City Clerk in Dover and is buried in nearby Pine Hill cemetery. Stevens is a pretty common name but I wonder if a fella I know who likes to hunt, Wally Stevens is related.

If you reload you can thow as little as 1 ounce through a short ten. If you want to up the payload no 16ga is going to come close if it's choked right. Light tens are just that, light for a ten.

It looks very nice indeed Bruce. The wood is spectacular. Hats off to you and Austin for resurrecting it.

I just brought home a PW 375 ten gauge loader, have tons of components as well as more than a few Parker tens, light and heavy. My favorites may turn out to be the 28" lifter guns, very lightly choked and obviously made for birds and close ducks. What fun.

I have a set of 2-feame 30” ten-gauge Damascus barrels with reverse chokes that I fitted to my 1898 2-frame DH.
