I have seen a few folks shoot old 10ga hammer guns at my range. So there is still some interest in them.

I have two of them. A Parkhurst coach gun by way of Utah. And a Prussian era drilling 30 inch barrels 10x10x45-70 black powder of course. IIRC this one circa 1890ish. That Parkhurst could have been made as late as 1939 but it's a real coach gun 20 inch barrels are full and full. Had the esteemed Mr. Nick Makinson brown the barrels, square up action, hone chambers, lengthen the chamber's 2 5/8 to 2 7/8. Superb work !!

Would love to see some pics of the drilling if possible. Maybe start a new thread and see what people have in 10ga's. I have a 10 SxS hammer gun and will try and post some pics.

Beautiful. My sidelever gun has the lever on the right. Seeing it on the left is different

It's a bit on the heavy side my only minor complaint. The flip up tang sight it seemingly zeroed for 60-70 yards I think so myself. For sure a talented stock man fitted a newer butt stock at some more recent date.
Nick was at this one two, removed small barrel dents, opened chokes to Skeet 2 and Imp Modified.
Honed the bores.

Peculiar coincidence. The coachgun has on its wrist a cheesy fake brass Wells Fargo badge, so commonly found stateside, to falsley impose a value that just isn't truthful.
Also is a fake agents name impressed into the butt stock. With No. 87 behind it.
Funny thing is I live within the MD of Bonnyville #87.
Just weird.

Edit: the previous owner a resident of Utah eluded it was a prop gun in a tourist draw wild west faked frontier town rural Utah.
Sadly he passed from cancer not long after the sale.
I consider myself very lucky to discover a real 10 gauge coach gun from a by gone western era.
With or without the fake badge.
