Rare BHE .410 4/0-frame sighting

[Joe Bernfeld]

Can you believe the auction site predicted it would sell for $3000-$6000 !?

I stand corrected....)-: In the future I will ask questions, not make statements. This topic is filled with mystery and flawed info. This is the first time I learned about the true 0000 frame guns except for the prototype that Chaddic claimed to own, it being one of two made....sorry for any confusion. The thing that makes this all so confusing is that they marked the 410 barrels that fit 00 frame guns with same frame size, 0000!, how can that be correct? They must be different to fit the bigger 00 frames. The production stats in parker story states about 30 sets of 0000 frame barrels were made to fit 00 28ga. guns....ware did these other 0000 BHE barrels sets come from? I know about 13 set were mated to DHE 28 sets and some to 00 BHE and A-1s. Did they use the rest to make the BHE mini frame guns by altering them some how?? or did these true 0000 barrels get left out of the count? Research...research ...research....we must know...(-: SXS ohio

As I recall, the one Herschel Chaddick had was being offered at something like $23K at the time. Am I correct in my recollection?

I think it was less....I called or e-mailed but it was sold. I think BB collectibles bought the one that sold at auction that I bid on, then listed it on the net for much more! remember He must still have that one? everything is sketchy......

Kenny, regardless of what is printed in a magazine twenty years ago, the 00 frame barrels marked 0000 have a different pin separation from the "real" 0000 barrels. As I recall, the 0000 "real" barrels have a pin separation identical to the Parker Brothers 000 frame. They are not the same, they don't fit back and forth, and the barrels that you have on your 28 gauge do not fit the 0000 frame BHE guns. Just to miss with your mind a bit, "Remington made 28 gauge guns on the 000 .410 frame." I don't know where the one is that I inspected and measured, but I have the serial number in my files. It is absolutely a factory gun.

Kenny, I just reread your last post. You bid on the Petersen BHE .410 and lost it to an $11,000 bidder??

[SXS OHIO]

Now I remember....The buyer premium adds up fast...wish I could of hung in there.. )-: So what I gather is the 410 barrels that mate up with 28ga. guns are really 00 frame barrels that are miss marked....this is ware the confusion lies...(-: Now I can make sense of all this. Anyway I really like the 00 frame 410-s I own...and now that Im informed I will be on the look for one of them baby frame 410-s (-: thanks all SXS ohio
