Where frame size 4 or 5 ever made in hammerless guns? I know frame size 4 and 5 exist in hammer guns but has anyone ever handled a frame size 4 or 5 in hammerless?

Why would you want a #4 or #5 frame hammerless gun when you could have a #6 frame hammerless? Oh, how soon we forget, you do have a #6 frame hammerless gun. Are they great guns or what? Have you measured your chambers. My steel barrel #6 frame has 3 1/2" chambers. I think you saw that 34" monster at Ernie's a couple of years ago. Have you found a #4 frame ten gauge pigeon gun yet?

I am very happy with my 6 frames but I have never heard of a 4 or 5 frame hammerless gun? Both of my 6's are 2 7/8" 10ga. No 4 frame 10ga hammer pigeon gun yet, I have passed on a couple projects.

I have never seen a #4 frame or 5 frame hammerless.
I have seen on #5 frame hammer 8 bore (nice gun, great feel and balance)

I have always wondered if a 8 bore could be made on a #4 frame hammer frame.

I have had a 4 frame 10g hammer gun. And i would think 8g tubes to be a bit much for that frame.

My Grade 3 hammerless 8 bore, 30" barrel gun weighs barely ten pounds, almost exactly a pound less than a 4 frame pigeon gun. Most 4 frame pigeon guns maxed out at 11 pounds to satisfy a rule of the day.

I've never seen a 4 or 5 frame hammerless Parker gun.
