Remington 1/2 Frame Parkers

[Bill Murphy]

Bill Zachow, it is very interesting that you mention a hammer gun built on a #5 frame, but hammerless eight gauges seem to be limited to #6 frames. In fact, there seem to be no #4 or #5 hammerless frames in any gauge that have surfaced. I have measured the eight gauge shell against the existing frame sizes and have determined that an eight gauge #3 frame hammerless gun can be built, but no one has come forward with one built at the Parker Brothers factory so far.

I think that the Remington Frame information came from a parts list of 1950's vintage. The frame info was to be used when ordering parts.

Best, Austin
