Does anyone make a 10 gauge double or o/u these days?Thanks.

I don't know about currently but there were a lot of Spanish made doubles in 10 gauge. Most were SxS but I have seen some O/U types too. There are some on the used market if you look.

I went 30 pages into google.Looked at several Spanish manufactures sites, also Turkish and Baikal,nothing.There are some high end guns on the used market.I was looking for a truck/woods gun,shot little & carried allot.The thread on 10ga slugs rekindled my interest.The Chuck Hawkes also says they are available.I did run across a site that has a pic of the 10ga that Billy The Kid used in his murderous jail escape.The 10ga was popular with the stagecoach guards.I guess the Cowboy action shooters of today are sticking with the 12ga.Thanks for your reply.

Refine your search a little to "Eibar" and/or "Kassnar". Most I have seen have had one or both names on them.

when American Arms was in business they imported 10 gauges, both sxs and o/u I think. I saw a AA sxs with 18" tubes and a hiz-viz front bead at a gunshow,It was a 10 gauge and sold as a personal defensive type gun,but the also carried field guns in 10 bore.
