Remington M10 -- a predecessor of the 870?

Its a model 10A. It was my great uncles he gave it to me before he passed about 30 years ago. I dont shoot it any more but it points well and it drops birds like kids eat Halloween candy.

Neat. I have two firearms passed down to me from my grandfather. One is Parker Bros. 10 ga. that was made sometime in the late 1800s. It's a rare gun because there were only a handful made with 36" Damascus barrels. I need to take some close-up pix. Here it is hanging in my trophy room.

Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks...

Yeah, the action and ring could be Turkish, but the rounded shoulder stock seems off. 🤷‍♂️

what makes me think it is Ottoman is the rear peep sight and the double front post sights.  And they used matchlocks for a couple hundred years, from what I gather.  the pictures do not show the sights very well.  I will take more pictures tonight
