Information on 10 gauge frame size 4?
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows a lot about the frame 4. Recently I purchased what was listed as a 12 gauge parker from 1887 on an auction. I took it apart and found a 4 on the barrel meaning it can only be a 10 gauge and not a 12. I've tried researching it but can't find much information on the 4 frame other than it doesn't seem to be very common. The weight is 6lbs 9oz which seems pretty light compared to what google says the 10 gauge barrels should weigh. Does anyone know why the only option on frame 4 was a 10 gauge? Were they mainly hammer or hammerless? Any other fun facts about the frame 4? Thanks
