410 Repro’s
 

We’re the 410 Repro’s on an actual 000 frame or were they just fitted to 00 frames ?

Never mind I just finished reading what seems to be known/assumed . 00 and 0000 . But no 000 .

Right. The only thing to add is that 00 frame .410 barrels are usually stamped 0000 on the rear lug, just like the actual 0000 barrels. Original Parker 000 barrels and Repro 0000 barrels share a pin spacing in common, but are different frames regardless of common pin spacing.

Like Bill said, the firing pin spacing of the 0000-frame Repro and the Parker Bros. 000-frame at 13/16" are identical, but the frames appear different. Below are pics of a 0000-frame Repro respectively followed by a 000-frame Parker at similar camera angles. Do you notice what's rare, odd and unusual with this 0000-frame .410 Repro?

The Repro is prettier.

Most would agree, however; there's a couple here that would disagree. Unfortunately it's not the answer the judges are looking for. Get the correct answer and there will be a follow-up bonus question -- unless one can come up with the whole shebang in one reply.

Left handed?

No Victor, I'm sorry that's not right. The correct answer is much more obvious.

It appears the outside diameter of the barrels at the breech end are smaller in diameter.

0000-frame Repros do have barrels that appear more internal to the frame than 000-frame Parker Bros. guns, but the firing pin separation of both frames are the same. Thank you Phil, but it's not the correct answer.
