10 Gauge, A View from the Past
In researching a piece for submission to the Parker Pages, I purchased through EBay a copy of the September, 1957 Pennsylvania Game News. It is fun to read a time capsule. I thought I would share a somewhat amusing passage from an article on new shotguns for that year.
“The ten gauge shotgun is largely a thing of the past. No domestic firearms company is making them and you must import them. There are two ‘super tens’ being imported today that are the counterpart of the long departed Ithaca and Parker super-tens of the 1930’s. These shot a 3 1/2 inch shell developed by Western cartridge company. It used two full ounces of shot at high velocity.”
