"O" and "OO"..That is the question..

[Jerry VanHorn]

I just bought a VH stock that was sold as an "O" frame...Round knob..DHBP..All original..and very nice... When I got it, I checked the SN against the book..233299..and it turns out it is listed for a 410.It's an OO size..and fits 28 gauge. According to TPS, an OO frame is 1 29/32 across bolsters...and an O frame is 2 1/32...or about 1/16 on a side difference. Brian D. says this is the critical measurement. Would a 1/16 difference be that critical ?..If the answer is positive yes...Then I have an OO..round knob stock for sale..or trade...Any thoughts ?..thanks ..jv..

Yes Jerry, 1/16" will make a critical difference in correct fit.

That seems to be the general consensus..DAMN !

How did you determine that your stock was OO size? An OO .410 is a very rare gun.

There are worse things to be stuck with than a 00 frame stock.

Bill..The Parker serial number book shows it as a 410..I miked the width at the head against 4 of my 16 "O" frame guns..and it is about 1/8 or so different..so...about a 1/16 on a side. I bought this as a "just in case" stock. I especially liked the round knob. The seller has offered to take it back..and I've had an offer..but the chances of finding a .410 or 28 that I would buy now are slim..

Hello Jerry , I just now saw your post so ,Sorry if I am a little late ! I just happen to have an old 000 Framed 410 laying around the house here , I measured the receiver directly in front of the stock and it measures 1.598" and directly behind the frame the outside of the wood which is just proud of the metal it measures 1.614" ! This measurment was taken from a digital gauge ,Hope this helps ! Best ; Russ

SO..That settles it..Bill M. called it. Dean R. seconded it..and this is the river card. Anyone need an OOO frame stock ?
