Default Parker rebated breech face

Does anyone have any information on Parkers with rebated breech faces?

I once owned a lifter 8gauge on a 5 frame that had a rebated breach face. Serial was in the 11,000 range. Even though the gun was beat, I wished I had kept it.

Breech faces are machined out to accept the rim of the shell.

If that is your definition of rebated, they are all that way, see example below. Have you looked at the Barrels and Chambers chapter of TPS? That work, necessary for all Parker enthusiasts, provides chamber diagrams and measurements. Almost all Parker questions are answered in TPS and 90% of what most of us know who have been around a while, comes from TPS.

What do you think a gun would look if the breech face was NOT machined out to accept the rim of the shell, and how would that work? I'm serious, I don't get it....maybe I'm dense......

I thought you perhaps meant machined out for side clips. And broadly, they are all machined to accommodate extractors or ejectors. That in a sense, is rebated.

I used wrong terminology. the face of the receiver is what is machined out not the barrel ends. I have a picture but don't know how to post. I sent it Brian Dudley maybe he can post it. I saw one like it on another Parker but that was a lonnnnnnng time ago.

So you are saying the frame standing face is machined out in a circle to receive the cartridge base? I have never seen a Parker like that, hammer or hammerless, but I haven't seen all Parkers. I don't get how that would open and close and not drag and bind. Nothing like that is in TPS.

I've never seen any double like that.

Rebated breech faces are nothing new. I have seen several English guns with them and at least two Parker shotguns.I believe there was an article on this subject in the early issues of Parker Pages.

Gun opens and closes fine when loaded no drag at all and shells do not move in chamber?? Functions normally as my other doubles.
