Really cool guns! Must take a bit of time to get those swinging. I would imagine that the recoil is manageable with the weight being the way it is.

Those are the heaviest 10 gauge Parker barrels known correct?

Jason yes it is the heaviest 10ga discovered so far but there is a 40" D 10ga hammer gun that has yet to come to light that may weight more if it was build on a #6 frame. These big Parkers are easier to shoot than you would think as long as you don't need to carry them!! They are big fun to own, shoot and reload for. I would have loved to meet the men that ordered and used these big guns back in the day. The big D went to southern Indiana on the Wabash river and the NH went to Hatchechubbee Alabama near the Chattahoochee river. Before the Army Corps of Engineers "improved" these rivers I believe they were great duck habitat.

Great Pictures, Craig! That hammer gun looks awesome in the marsh.
