I happened to have all of these photos in my archives from a 6 frame 8g. that I restored a number of years ago. I thought I shared them at that time, but maybe not. Here they are...
Some Parker internal parts have variances in them based on frame size. But the 6 frame guns have a many number of unique parts in them due to their massive size. Here are a number of them for you to compare and learn from. 6 frame top lever on top and 2 frame on bottom. Attachment 86147 See here the marking on the bottom of a 6 frame top lever. (Model No. 6 Hammerless. And the year 1899 (the gun it came from was made in '99). Attachment 86148 A 6 frame cocking slide (on right) next to a 2 frame slide. Attachment 86149 A 6 frame safety jacket assembly (on right) next to a standard assembly (they are all the same size on all other frame sizes). Attachment 86150 A 6 frame trip (on right) next to the normal Trip assembly. Attachment 86151 The 6 frame cocking crank (on right) next to the standard crank. Attachment 86152 The 6 frame trigger plate (on right) next to a 2 frame plate. Attachment 86153 A 6 frame sear (on right) next to the standard sear. Note how far the leg bends in, due tot he width of the frame and having to bring it in to the normal position. Attachment 86154 Finally the 6 frame on top with a 2 frame on bottom. Attachment 86155 The gun that these parts came from. An 8g. PH with 40" barrels. Attachment 86156 Attachment 86157 Attachment 86158 |

All of the Rib extensions on Parkers are a separate piece from the rib. At least from the time that they started using the patent dolls head extension. The extension piece is about 2.5" long. |

Is there any reason documented why some of the extensions have the visible seam and some dont ? |
Brian, I remember the discussion with pictures of the cocking crank and the floor plate and maybe one or two other things that are considerably bigger on the 6 frame, but I don't remember any discussion on the purpose of that extra screw in the top tang..

From what I could find on mine it probably spent the majority of its life on the local river just 2hrs upstream . The humidity here though is pretty rough on guns / |
Yup, exactly those kinds of conditions.

The funny thing about the 6 frame guns is that everything is texas sized except for the trigger guard. They look tiny on the guns.
|
With all those differences and obvious unique parts, were 6 frame guns more expensive? One would think so.

Though if you were waterfowling for a living and you just needed a big gun for the job a grade 1 or 0 would have been cheaper . |
