Early 28 Gauge Production

[Bill Murphy]

By the way, there is no use in copying or recopying the stock books. Commander Gunther already copied them and we have the copies. What has not been done is to transcribe all the serial numbers in the stock books into the serialization book database. The information is there for Chuck to copy, anytime he gets a few minutes.

If the President gets the federal minimum wage up to $15.00/Hr, Chuck can get a $15.00 raise.

Bill ,I do look in TPS ,where are the 0 frame 28ga guns listed? That is what we were talking about.

Bless you Edgar!

Chuck, obviously I was kidding. However, these guys, Edgar included, should realize that all the serial number and barrel length and other basic information from the stock books is in the PGCA collection and doesn't have to be copied. It is already there.

In regards to overall weight, with configurations being identical, will a typical 28ga. 0-frame Parker Bros. gun weigh more or less than a typical 20ga. built on a 0-frame?

Greg, I hope this is what you're after:
All 0 frames
28" 28ga. 5lbs 14oz
28" 20ga. 6lbs 1oz

24" 28ga. 5lbs 10oz
24" 20ga. 6lbs 3oz

The two 20ga. guns are DHE, the two 28ga. guns are VH, so ejector fore ends may be heavier than the two 28ga extractor guns. Also, the wood on the DHE may be marginally heavier due to density (?)

Not true Bill. There is information that couldn't be copied at the right hand side of the stock books due to the limitation of the width of the copy machine. I would love to photograph all of the stock books, if I could.
