10 gauge ?

[atr]

Does anyone make a short barreled "coach gun" in 10 gauge ? I have a Stoeger in 12 gauge but searching their site shows none in 10 .

I cannot help you unfortunately but after shooting a browning 10ga pump for years all I can say if you do find one is OUCH.
I cannot imagine the kick it would have

i want to find a shorter barrel for my H&R topper 10g single, or even a second 36" one that I can cut down to 18.5" or maybe have dlask or another manufacturer make me a nice 8"

H&R singles are cheap enough just buy a new one and cut it to 18.5(id go
19" this gives you alot of room to work with)

your going to be taking alot of weight off of a already light gun and it will kick the living s*** out of you. make sure the stock fits you and maybe have a recoil pad fitted

There's a stiff rubber pad that's on it right now. I shoot 4 1/4 dram eq 3 1/2" mag lead BB shot out of it with no issues repeatedly.

yeah but its about 9lb right now also remember that with a shooter barrel there will be more recoil for the muzzle blast take a few pounds of weight off ouch

I own a 10ga side by side coachgun with 20inch barrels, its an old belgian gun....havent shot it yet but im expecting it to be a shoulder wreaker.

Weight is a big factor here as well as black powder loads.
There is a difference in energy concerning smokeless and black powder IMO.
10 gauge smokeless in a relatively light gun is a bruiser indeed, same gauge in BP, not so violently punishing.
I highly suspect you are going to really enjoy your Belgian.
