You first must examine the "chart" on page 527? of TPS to answer questions for identification. Next, you must understand that light guns were made on big frames and heavy guns were made on small frames. 1/2 frame guns were made as 8 pound plus trap guns. Such guns are in the collections of PGCA members. Serial number 241,000 is an example. I have a 1/2 frame gun that is among the lightest of 1/2 frame guns, having a very light set of non original 1/2 frame barrels and a stock that is lighter and of smaller dimensions than many .410 bore 000 frame stocks. 1/2 frame guns are among the most interesting and diverse guns made in the Remington era. One of our members is studying the 1/2 frame guns as a research project.
