Hammer for 16 ga 0 frame

[MIKE FISHER]

28 in, Edgar, and appear to be about imp. mod. and full, or slightly less, according to my gauge.

Thanks. The reason I asked is because most of the 26" guns I've seen or heard of, did have lightened frames, and I don't recall any 30" 0 frame guns that were. It seems to be a weight vs balance thing. Have you checked the serialization book to confirm is was built as a 28" gun?

Edgar, no, I hadn't checked and really appreciate OH's reply. I'm not surprised that it came from Meriden as a 28" since I couldn't detect any indication of the bbls having been cut, but I'm no expert. Your comments on the apparent relationship of bbl lenth to the lightening cuts are interesting.

I don't suppose either of you would have any leads on an original pattern right hammer?
