vhe 1/2 size frame

[Autumn Daze]

The complete list of known 1/2 frame guns appears in a article by Craig Reynolds on page 37 lower right hand corner of the Winter 2009 Volume 16 Issue 4 of the Parker Pages. This list is a work in progress as more 1/2 frame guns are discovered the list will be amended to include them I am sure

The ser # of the half frame that you posted was a gun that was not on my list. Thanks. I have some extra copies of the Parker Pages with the article pertaining to half frames that I would be glad to send you if e-mail me your address. I would also like to get some additional information concerning the gun. Thanks Craig

Craig has done a great job on the 1/2 frame research. After I found out that I could click a set of #1 frame 16 gauge barrels on a 1/2 frame gun, I now have the opinion that we may find a factory 16 gauge on a 1/2 frame.

Hi Bill
So in theory if you have a 1/2 size frame 12 bore you can stick a set of 16 gauge on.
This sounds good to me a two barrel set would be cool. If you can find some.

Thanks Dave

I have not gotten my ejectors completely operational, but everything else works and fits together like a glove. You cannot use the #1 frame forend on the 1/2 frame. Apparently, the 1/2 frame forend is identical to a #0 frame forend. My ejector problems may be related to the spacing of the trips. I haven't worked on the gun for awhile since it shoots just fine minus functional ejectors. The gun is a classic lightweight bird gun with a #00 size stock, total weight of gun about 6 1/2 pounds. The barrels are Parker Special Steel, 16 gauge, 28", improved cylinder and modified.
