Parker 1/2 frames

[Jean Swanson]

Well I hate to put a damper on all, but I know for a FACT , that came from the higher management of Remington in writing on design plans, that ALL 1/2 frame guns were to be produced on 1 frame actions. So, I guess that early 1 frame 12 bore can be considered as 1/2 frame guns ??? What say ye ??

I’m betting that Allan can probably dig out that very document or a copy of it.

His knowledge of this stuff and his associations with old-time Remington officers and managers certainly precedes any of ours. Those folks at Remington these days for the most part, don’t even care about the Parker venture let alone know the history of it.

So are you saying, dimensionally 1/2 frame and 1 frame guns are the same? Should be simple enough to measure.
