"O" and "OO"..That is the question..

Most ..410s were 000 framed.A PG (as opposed to a capped PG) stock, to fit a 00 framed 28 is a very lovely thing. I had just such a GHE, but, regrettably, slate roof repairs don't come cheap. I consider selling that gun the supreme sacrifice, and still be living.

What with wood aging..hand done fitting, etc..and the listed differences being listed in 32nds and sixteenths...and the Parker book showing all but 2 of the O and OO frame dimensions being the same...I STILL don't know for sure...The seller has offered to take it back..and I've had an offer...One thing for sure..it's going today..

Did a couple more measurements Stock at head...1 21/32..O Frame 16 VH.. Measured at edge of frame...1 19/32...??..Buttplate is stamped "O". Got Email from Ebay..Seller has contacted them ??

The chances of your stock being a OO are slim. The serial number is a .410 and 99% of all .410s were OOO frame. Ball grip .410s are very common compared to other gauges. The serialization book gets .410 grips wrong most of the time.

Bill..So why would the wood measurement be "proud" of the frame measurement ? I assume you say this is an OOO stock..right ??

The "0" on the butt plate does not mean it came off an 0 framed gun. That is the butt size. An 0 frame 16 would have a "1" butt, whereas an 0 frame 20 would have an "0" butt.

SO..What size is this stock ?......OOO ? Is that the majority opinion..because of the SN ?..
