When I was a kid in the 1990s it seemed like 10 gauge caught on real big for goose hunters in South Dakota. Witch gun companies made 10 gauges in the late 80s & early 90s?

    All, I just picked up a browning bps camo 10 gauge.

I have been useing a ulti mag in 12 ga. 3.5. Also are any of you useing after mkt. choke tubes Thank you in advance Rich

    Got an American Arms 10 gauge and was curious about where to get a replacement stock for it? One other thing it has the words Canne Cromate on the left side of the reciever, curious to know what it might mean.

    the beauty of a 10 gauge load really comes out when one reloads...using factory ammo, there is little difference between the 10 gauge and the 12 guage 3.5 inch load...but and this is a big BUT, components have improved to such a degree, velocities of massive payloads are pushing 1700fps and still within recognised safety parameters..THIS is the true value of the 10 gauge waterfowling gun. i had 2 browing gold 10s stalker models

    Yep, I have one of them H&R 10 ga destroyers. Very hard kicker.[B)]

    I have a Browning gold 10 ga, similar to carrying a railroad iron, but not much kick.

    I think the big 10 gauge rush started in the mid/late 70's.
    Ithaca Mag 10, Marlin 36" barrel Goose Gun, and the Spanish 10 Doubles were pretty hot then!
    I have the coolest of all 10 gauges ever made!
    The Winchester 1901 Lever Action 2 7/8" Chamber!
    We used to call the Mag 10 Ithaca "The Lead Launcher"!

    In 1975 I got my first job in a department store that sold guns. The 10 gauge double we sold was a monster and it was made by Boito.

    I really like the Browning Gold 10, big and heavy But, solid and kicks like a 12 pump.
