Logically speaking, you'd assume that the 0000-frame Repros should measure 12/16" between the firing pins. It has been mentioned in this forum a few times that it is thought the 4/0-frame Repros measure the same 13/16" spacing as the 000-frame orig. Parker Bros. frames, similar to why do the 1/2-frame Parkers at 1 1/16" measure the same as the 1-frames? No logical explanation, they just do. Sadly, I did not have a tape measure with me at the 2014 Antique Arms Show in Las Vegas to measure the pin spacing of the only 4/0 frame Repro I've ever held. Hopefully, someone that actually owns one of these uber fascinating 4/0-frame Repros will come forward with the definitive spacing -- until then, I guess we're just assuming.

I have measured them and seem to recall that the separation on a 0000 frame is 13/16, same as a 000.

And this is what makes PGCA great. Those of us that are shooters would look at the gun and handle the gun and shoot the gun and say "This'll break targets." The technical guru collector types amongst us see the minutae of the details and judge the gun on those little things. As a "bottom feeder" I find these posts very educational. Thanks Greg!!

That's why a repro .410 and 28g are on my radar next week. Now if they can have double triggers and extractors and would be a two barrel set, that would be even better. :corn: I'd take VH guns too but not at stupid prices.

Wait, Mike. A non ejector Repro at not crazy prices? Where are they? I'll sell you a VH, but the price will be crazy, like it was when I bought it. OK, crazy plus.

No, but I can post a price tag.

I see a difference in the distance from the rear of frame/wood to the rounding toward the hinge pin of approximately 9 % less ' which mean less metal in the frame, etc. !!! I certainly could be wrong . Just my observation.
