Were any 00 frame Twenty's made? I have some 0 frame 16's and they are sweet to shoot but a 28ga frame 20 maybe sublime.

further to the above, the first 20ga. Parker, 4634, is on a 1 frame. The 0 frame had not yet been made, and I don't know what the first 20 on an 0 frame is. I believe 5410 is the 2nd, and 6999 is the third, though in the serialization book, it is listed as a 30" 10gauge.
I believe 10165 is the 4th 20, and that is also on a 00 frame. I am not sure calling these early, very small framed 20 gauge guns 00 framed guns is correct, in that no 0 frame gun predates them, but the dimensions are within a few thous of what is listed in TPS as 00. 15837 and 15838 are the 5th and 6th 20s, and it is likely that these are on the 0 frame, as the first 16ga lifters were right in this neighborhood. The enclosed pictures are of the barrel of 6999, which the Research Chairman has confirmed is in the order book as a 20ga. |

The firing pin spacing on 10165 is actually a few thousandths narrower than the 00-frame spacing.
No hammerless Parker 20, that we know of, was made on such a small frame size. This is 10165... No, I do not have an especially large hand... 10165 is an especially diminutive Parker 20. .

To be contrarian to my learned senior members, I always prefer a 1 1/2 frame for a 12 walking in the field. Now a duckblind or truck bed letting dove come to me...a 3 frame and a short days work...even shorter with the longer 10 ga barrels. I am not aware of the existence of an effective gauge below 12 so I will not sully myself with such discussions
