How did they do that

The raw frames had enough metal to file them in.

Ok, does anyone have a raw frame that shows this extra bulk? Does this mean that 99% of the guns that Parker made had this excess removed manually and the 1% were shaped specifically for graded guns? I don’t accept that assumption from a company that survived 50 years in the Industrial Age. If you have one, please show me one of those original castings that supports this. I just want to know the TRUTH if it still exists with any facts. A rough forging showing the excess around the bolsters WITH MEASUREMENTS would answer my question.



Thankyou

If they were anything like the fox frames, there was a good amount of metal left once the hand took over from the machine.
