1913 is the year of the earliest 00 frame 28ga that I have seen. I don't believe there is a list of 28ga frame sizes, if anyone knows of one please chim in.

I don’t believe there is a list of guns by frame sizes. That infornation has never been made available. It probably doesn’t exist because Parker Bros. never recordsd it that we know of… unless it was recorded somewhere in the 3” of the pages of the books that didn’t fit in the copying machines that were used by those who went to Remington Arms to retriev the records.

Through the time 99.9% of Parker Bros. composite barrel guns had been made, the heaviest loads (1 1/4-ounce in 12-gauge) our ammunition companies offered could be had in a 2 3/4-inch shell. The perceived advantage of the longer shells was more/better wadding, something considered beneficial by many gun cranks and Pigeon shooters. I'm sure there would have been composite barrel 12-gauge guns ordered for the 2 7/8-, 3- and 3 1/4-inch 12-gauge hulls, but I don't have any facts as to such Parler Bros. guns. The 12-gauge, 3-inch, progressive burning powder loads with 1 3/8-ounce of shot hit the market in the 1924/5 time frame -- Early style 12-gauge 3-in Super-X Record.jpg No telling what loads nimrods were stuffing in any length hull, especially before the early 1890s when our ammunition companies first began offering factory loaded shotgun shells. I've long questioned Murphy's 3 1/2-inch 10-gauge, as 3 1/4-inch is the longest 10-gauge cases I've found offered by any of our ammunition companies before 1932. |

The letter clearly says 3 1/2". It didn't come with any ammunition.

Just a thought… wouldn’t it be more accurate to measure between the centers of the firing pins… unless the gun’s frame is not available?
