Sorry Bill, it wasn’t clear to me and when I asked earlier if the measurement was across the face of the bolsters I was answered with “we don’t know if that’s where the measurement was taken.” so along with taking that measurement on several of my 12 and 10 gauge Parkers I also measured from the water table to the center of the firing pin, the width of the beads on the barrel flats, the o.d. Of the individual barrels at the breech, etc. to confirm that the 12 and 10 gauge guns, one of which I thought was on the #3 frame, all conformed to the measurements shown for the #2 frame Parkers.... those are the tedious measurements I took, in addition to the spacing of the firing pins.
