Remington Era 1/2 Frames

[Brush Buster]

Gentlemen ,I was at a Local Gun Show last weekend and was discussing Parker guns with an Elderly Gentleman who has been a collector of Parker's and Winchesters for many years ! The Remington 1/2 Frame Guns came up in our conversation and he mentioned some time ago he seemed to remember a Serial Number List that was distributed by the PGCA listing all the 1/2 Frame Parker's known to date ! He even said at one time he thought he had the list , does anyone remember such a list ,how it was formed and documented or just any thing at all about it at all ,this was totally new information to me ! Thank You ahead of time for any replies to my inquiry !

Yes, it was a few issues ago.

Was it in PP's ??? I must have missed it , he had said it was years ago , the list I am referring to .

I do remember it - I'll check my Digital Archive of Past Issues of Parker Pages (Available exclusively to PGCA Members for only $50.)


It was compiled by Craig Reynolds and published in Issue 4 of the 2017 volume.


Here is the list of 1/2 Frame Parkers compiled for Parker Pages by Craig Reynolds.

Dean ,those are S&F Sold Guns but they don't say they are 1/2 Frame guns ! Do you remember such a list by any chance ? Since Bob Beach has retired ,Griffin and Howe hasn't replaced him with any one to do letters !

Yes, Craig was personally tracking the 1/2 frame for a while. And published his findings in that PP article.

Please note that any mention of serial 226709 as a “prototype 1/2 frame” is not accurate. It is a prototype, but not a 1/2 frame.
