Lets talk 10 ga.
« on: May 01, 2006, 09:32:22 PM »
Does anybody make a dbl. barreled 10 ga. slug gun?  It seems to me that'd be optimal for self-defense in fast breaking situations (the proverbial charging grizzley bear, for example).

10 ga. slugs
« Reply #1 on: May 05, 2006, 01:13:34 PM »
:-) Dusty, I'm from mid Ga. which is deer and hog country- 2 deer and 1 hog with 12 ga. Brennke slugs. I'm always interested in slug guns, mostly the single shots. But I have a Savage 311A 16 ga. set up for slugs- barrels cut to 20 in., ramp front sight and dovetail rear. Haven't spent a lot of time with it, but seems to be a good 50 to 70 yd deer gun, but enough of that. I know of no company, ever, that made a 10 ga. double slug gun. The only 10 ga slug gun I know of is the one by H&R/NEF-smoothbore with rifle sights. If you could find one of the old Richland Arms 10 ga doubles that were imported years ago and trim the barrels and add sights and lay in a supply of the Federal 10 ga. slug loads, you would have you a close range ANYTHING stopper. Ten guage slug guns are always interesting. Thanks for reading my two-cents. Hunman55

While this is clearly not in the price range of our discussions, it might of intellectual interest...This guy can produce anything you want, doubles, triples, and even quads. Obviously, we can't own one...I only wanted to point out that it can be done...and how some gunsmiths do it...

Ithica made the Mag-10 in what was called a Roadblocker model.  It had a shorter barrel than the standard model and rifle sights.  The Mag-10's can be picked up at bargain prices if you look around.  Ballistic Products carry parts and spring kit for them.

Ten ga. guns

:grin: That was quite a thread on the custom guns-very interesting. And ,yes, they are out of my league. Anything can be made if you have the dough. I had forgotten about the Roadblocker from Ithaca. I think this gun was made with law inforcement in mind, but not exclusively-could definitely be used for hunting or defense.  :grin:  Hunman55

American Arms imported a sxs 10 gauge called the Turkey Special. Click here. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=53396219

Not sure what choke you would use for slugs...or what choke pattern it uses but custom chokes can be had for a price.

I really like this gun, but just don't have the coin for it right now.

I am not the seller nor do I have any connection to the seller, just pointing out something cool I found for sale.

Maybe the Boss would front me my quarterly safety bonus.... ::)
