This has probably already been discussed to death, but 10 gauges are still around new. Local store here was selling H&R single-shot 10 gauges a few years back for $75 each.

The "4 gauge punt gun" is not 4 gauge.

"2 gauge punt guns" were actually 4 gauge.
"4 gauge punt guns" were actually 5 or 6 gauge.

There used to be some hand-held 4 and 8 gauge shot-guns, but they got banned for water-fowl use in 1918. Only 10 gauge or smaller was allowed after that.

Parker used to make an 11 gauge shotgun.
Martini used to make a 14 gauge shotgun.
Winchester used to make a 15 gauge shotgun.
Stevens and H&R used to make a 24 gauge shotgun.
Winchester used to make a 32 gauge shotgun, and the 410 later took its place. A 410 shotgun shell can be used in a 45-70 rifle if wanted.

That's just the US centerfire shotgun shells. There was a bunch of rim-fires also, like the 310 Remington.

Then there's the British stuff. The Brits had a "0 gauge" shotgun shell - but it was actually close to the size of a US 10 gauge.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the ...
