An example is the 1/2 frame. They are finished up at weights from 6 1/4 pounds to 8 1/4 pounds.

With #3 seeing to be the most popular frame used for 10s does anyone know what the heaviest #3 that was ordered?

10 bore is my favorite but I have always wanted a 10lb 16ga haha .

A fellow on here that lives in SC/GA has a 32” EH on. 3 frame I think it’s as heavy or heavier then my EH 34” 3 frame . I had tried to buy the gun he has before he got it and finally saw it at the 2018 Southern . That guns a right smart horse I’d say over 10 pounds .

I've had two 10 hammer guns both 32" one a 9lb and one a 10lb . You could definitely feel the weight in the 10lb guns barrels . With RST loads though I couldn't tell a recoil difference between the two . Wish I could have remember that hammerless 10 ga parkers that was sold locally it had 36" barrels !

The chart of frame sizes on this website has been updated from the original chart from The Parker Story because of input from posters on our forum. The only frame-gauge combination I am aware of that is not listed on this site is the #2 frame 16 gauge, another observed but rare combination. Good work on the part of our webmaster.

Bill, nearly all the later information on those pages has been an ongoing project of Robin Lewis. He has updated all the FAQs and a great deal of other information on the links at the left of the HOME page.

Thank You Robin!

Robin is one of the great unsung heroes behind the PGCA.

I have been looking for a 5 frame. I have 2 4's

What is a "bonehill?" A pile of old abandoned barrels?

Milton, We hope you got enough benefit of being a member of the PGCA to re-up. We think it’s a great value and I wouldn’t be surprised that you find ao gun on the forum that you can’t live without.

Oh I plan to get a annual membership as soon as I find my first parkers . I love the history here and the stories about vintage doubles . Im a young fellow at 26 but i love researching all the different sxs from that era especially parkers .

Here’s a novel idea..... why not just telephone Mr. Puglisi and ask him what frame size the gun is?
