Added another 10 to the stable

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.

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!  

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 ?
