Came home with an American Arms 10 ga. Turkey Special. Would like to hear from anyone who has one or has experience with one regarding loads and chokes (which I understand are hard to find for it).
thanks
Ken
Post a pic of it if you can.
Hawken, it'll be a few days. I'm out of town for work until the end of the week. I've seen several pictures of them floating around the various websites...I'll see if I can put one of those up until I get home.

Hawken,
Here's a photo of one that was for sale on Auction Arms. Mine looks exactly like that one.

That's awesome!
Thats nice !
That there is a whole lotta gun :z-guntootsmiley:
She's a Beaut! :newmascot:
Theres a Hawg! :icon_thumright:
Assuming I can get a good load worked out and there is no problem with barrel convergence, I couldn't be happier with it.
Its got enough weight that it should be a sweetheart to shoot (my other 10 is an H&R with 24 in bbl).
If anyone's got any ideas about loads to start trying let me know.
Thanks
Ken
Do you reload? Prefer a certain type of shell? Or just looking for a good one? I'd suggest shoot hevi in some form to help keep your patterns from spreading as much and filling the bird up with shot. Just thinking with the short barrels going to open up quick past 20 yards. I wouldn't be afraid to hunt with some lead though as far as getting the job done. That thing is going to be like a stampede on a unsuspecting turkey head. Good luck! :icon_thumright:
Edited....read where you mentioned choke tubes..Nice!
That would be my dream 10 ga rig , open choke , and a tight in the other
- is it single selective - or double trigger ?
I wonder if the barrel is a fab-arms choke thread ?
Here is a link to a choke interchange http://choke-tube.com/choke_chart.asp
Here's pics I took tonight.
Here it is compared to my AYA 16 ga.

WOW !! I like that gun !!!
Hope to get to shoot it this week. Balances much better than I thought it would. Probably weighs between 10 1/2 and 11 lbs.

WOW !! I like that gun !!!
:love5: as do i! I have always liked the side by side look
You gotta name that beast !!!!! How about DOUBLE TROUBLE !!!!!!! :z-guntootsmiley:
LOL....I've never done that before, but you're right.....this one may deserve it!
I say we have a contest to name her.....whoever wins gets to pull both triggers at once!
are these guns being made new still?
what I LOVE about my SxS 2 trigger 10 is the ability to put an $$ Nitro shell in one side and a cheaper shell in the other and being able to save $$ on those 20 yard shots!
sweet gun
No they are no longer being made. Finding one may take a little leg work, but they are out there.
there is an American Arms SXS 10 gauge on gunbroker right now-I just bought a SxS 10 or I'd be on it like a duck on a junebug......or rather like a turkey on a grasshopper.
beautiful gun
I bet it kicks like a mule :funnyturkey: :funnyturkey:
:z-flirtysmile3:
I love that gun.....I want one just like that custom for Turkey or even better O/O and then smae evertything else especially the double triggers
