Default Remington Parker

I picked these up at a flea market while on vacation. The fellow I bought them from told me his Grandfather worked for Remington during WWll. Thought I'd share. Frame measures 1 1/16 cc on firing pins.

The "Book" only list serials numbers to 241788. Looks like a Parker planned, but not produced. Great find!

Nice collector's paper-weight. Excellent find!

A more accurate measurement is !" cc on the firing pins and 2" across the breech. What gauge would that be?

One inch, center to center, would indicate a 0-frame which, in the Remington era, would indicate a twenty-gauge or less likely, a sixteen.

However, the charts show the 0-frame as measuring 2 1/32" across the face of the breech balls.

Much earlier when Parker Bros. first introduced the twenty-eight gauge it was built on the 0-frame.... but this thread is about Remington Parkers so disregard that.

I think this was discussed before, but what is the latest known Parker from Remington?

Remington Arms bought the Parker Gun Works in 1934. Any and all Parker shotguns produced after the date of that purchase would have been made under Remington ownership.

I think a parts party is in order to make a complete gun of this receiver!
