4 to 6 frame 12 ga
 
i am interested in knowing how many 4 to 6 frames 12 ga s there is out there...i have read here on this forum about one 6 frame 12 ga...would be interested in total weight of the barrels and total weight of the guns...charlie

Jack Puglisi let me shoulder the 6 frame 12 at the Vegas show. It must be ten years ago now. Big gun but once you got it swinging it kept going. I think a 3 1/2 magnum would feel like a 22 long rifle. He sold it not long after. I wonder who has it now.

well we know there is at least one big frame 12 ga...i m with you there would not be much reciol even with heavy loads...this would have been a interesting gun to have got a letter on....charlie

I wonder if it was chambered for 3 inch shells? 3 1/2? The unstruck barrels weigh more than most of my finished guns.

Looks like that 6 frame 12 was made specifically to test proof loads :shock:

Looks to me to be designed to run on leftover dynamite should you run out of ammo.....

Does anyone know how long the barrels are? With the chamber wall thickness as heavy as it looks, I am somewhat suprised that they are only marked 7/13. My 6 frame 8 gauge with 36" barrels are marked 9/1.

if this gun was not chambered for 3 or 3 1/2 inch shell it should have been...thanks for the pictures of this gun...i would say i would have thought the barrels to have weighed moreanyway its a knock out for sure i hope someone is useing this on waterfowl some wereany more big frame 12 ga out there....charlie

Charlie, I think I own your dream gun. I have a #6 frame hammerless that was originally an 8 gauge and was rebarreled at Parker Brothers with ten gauge Vulcan Steel barrels chambered 3 1/2", probably before Parker advertised 3 1/2" guns. It may be the first modern, fluid steel 10 gauge chambered for the 3 1/2" magnum shells. Unfortunately, it is a 13 pounder or better and not pleasant to carry.
