410 O Frame?
 

Were any .410's made on an O frame?

Hard to believe never would be accurate but the O frame was not designated for use with the 410.

Looking at a nice ball grip VHE stock that serials to a .410, the frame size stamp next to the serial on the stock is definitely O. Will try and get a measurement out of the seller

Mark if we are on the same page that "O" under the tang that is stamped into the stock is not the frame size but rather the grade I believe.

Here's an example of a BH or Grade 5 gun with the stamping I am speaking of.

Got it. Thanks

okay, so now a new question. The serialization book, on page 45 where they address frame sizes, has the breech width and standing breech height as being identical between O and OO frame guns. does this mean in general stocks are of the same dimensions for those frame sizes?

Hey, Randy,

Were ALL stocks stamped this way? I did not recall that all were stamped with the grade.

Thanks!

Garry:

I do not possess the knowledge to answer the question as you have posed it, ALL. I can say this however, when I look under a trigger tang and the grade number is missing it is one of those items that makes me suspicious. Does not mean that it is not right, but it just makes me suspicious. That's my approach anyway. Maybe others can offer a more definitive response.

Also I am referring to hammerless only. Not sure about hammer versions. To much to keep track of. If we only had minds like Chuck Bishop this would be easy.
