Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Do you have a letter on your gun? The letter may indicate that the person ordering your gun was a competitive shooter whose gun had to conform to the rules of the day, under 11 pounds for a ten gauge gun.

From what I have read, there are no serial number records for the Syracuse hammer and hammerless LC Smith guns from 1883 to 1888. The earliest records begin with the Fulton guns in 1890. This gun is estimated to be manufactured in 1887. The outside measurement of the breechballs is 2 3/4".
I can't find data on the 8 gauge frame size so I don't know if the frames have the same dimensions. Does anyone know what the width of the LC Smith 8 gauge frame is?
