In my experience, a #6 frame eight gauge hammer gun would be very unusual. Most are #7 and a few #5 lightweights. We can tell whether your gun is a true #6 frame if you will take a very accurate measurement of the distance between the centers of the firing pin holes and post here.

Bill, in my experience, 6 frames are more common than 7 frames. For a number of years, I kept track of all the 8 gauges I came in contact with. Over that time period and covering about 40 guns (roughly 10 percent of total production), 6 frames were 3 times as common as the 7s.

Forgot to mention that my hammer 8 is a 6 frame, one of 4 consecutive serialed guns that went to California in 1892. My hammerless PH is also a 6 frame. I once owned a hammerless DH 8 that was also on a 6 frame. And finally, I once owned an early lifter 8, and that one was on a 5 frame.

bill you certainly owned your share of differant frame sizes in 8 ga s..i too kept up with the 8 gas that i run across on the net and auction sites..most of the frames i came across were 7 frames a few 6 frames but never a 5 frame..would have liked to have seen that 5 frame for sure.the 2 old parker 8 ga s i have are 7 frames hope to add a 6 frame shortly...charlie

Good luck with your quest, Charlie. I don't think you will have a hard time finding the 6 frame. Just make sure you have lots of $$$. Those 8 gauges have really gotten expensive, as have all Parkers. The 5 frame gun will be almost impossible. Bill

Bill Z., I was referring only to hammer guns. All hammerless guns I have seen have been #6 frame, but, conversely, all hammer guns I have seen have been #5 or #7. A D Grade #5 frame 8 gauge hammer gun sold locally not long ago.

Mine is a 6 frame. It is a GH hammerless.
