I have a 0 frame 16 DHE skeleton butt gun that has a stock smaller than any 28 or .410 I have seen. The height of the butt is less than a 0 frame buttplate. I will confirm that measurement.

Dean, does the research letter address the smaller stock on the 1-frame 16 ?

No Dean, it does not. A Remington era gun with a Remington era letter.

And a Remington era letter shows us virtually nothing... Too bad.

Yes we ran into the same phenomenon in comparing the very early Parker 28 gauges relative to buttplate height and width. Most all of the early 28s were 0 frame guns but comparing 3 guns (all G grades) that coincidentally came through Wm. Wagner's DC shop in the early 1900s, we found noticeable differences in the height and width of the stock buttplates. Most interesting, to my recollection 2 of these guns were 26" and 1 was 28". The two 26" guns had the vivid difference in buttplate dimensions. Go figure!

How different are the stocks at the other end; are the frames significantly different in height, tang widths, etc. in the stock/metal dimensions?
