For a short period of time, I owned an 8 gauge lifter on a 5 frame. Bought it out of the old Shotgun News. When I received it, the condition was so bad I had to return it. There are days that I wished that I had kept it.

Probably would have cost you in the neighborhood of 4-5k to have the barrels monoblocked/sleeved . Probably would have a rare gun but seems like even though 8 gauges are rare and expensive they don't exactly sell .now if you could get a salvaged gun for the stock and action for 1500$ or so it might be worth spending the money to basically have a set of barrels made and you might even out .

The only Parker orders I have seen that specified frame size were for the "2 1/2" frame which was for the #3 frame which is 2 1/2" wide. The orders I have seen for this frame size were for heavy 12 gauges.

Bill,
Correct, factory speak for the frame sizes was the measurement across the breech balls. And this was used in the record books before the actual frame size “number” column was added.

Thanks, Brian. The 2 1/2 terminology was used because raw frames did not have the frame number stamped on them.

I have a 10 gauge Grade 3 toplever hammergun on a #4 frame with 32” barrels. Ordered by Arthur DuBray. Letters as such. Just short of 11 lbs.
