Hi Chuck,

Parkers vary in Frame size but the #3 Frame was the most common for 10 gauge Parkers. A #3 Frame measures exactly 1 3/16" between the center of the firing pin holes of the breach face. To determine frame size just start at a #0 Frame at 1" and add 1/16" for each increase in a whole number.

Dave "Autumn Daze" has a set of 28" twist 10 gauge barrels for a #3 Frame. Look for his posts and send him a PM inquiring what he has in store for them after he uses them for a Parker Pages artical.

Oh, since you are new to the forum you may not know that the Parker Pages is a most outstanding publication with articals written by some of our more learnered members. No kidding, some of these guys can definately research and write with the pros! With a Parker Gun Collectors Association membership comes the Parker Pages. Also, I have found the Parker guys (and a few gals) the most friendly and helpful of any organization!!! I consider Dave "Autumn Daze" and his son friends after introducing them to my BFT, that is my 10 lb DH 10, at the Hidden Hollow shoot last summer.

Membership also includes access to the For Sale, WTB, and Swap and Parts Recycling setions of this website. The barrels are on the Recycling section.

Respectfully,
Mark
