I have several questions about Parker frame sizes?

I have to agree that an 0 frame 28 just seems more 'fluid'.

What will a #0 frame 28ga weight with 28" barrels?

Only Parker 28 I ever owned was on an 0 frame but 26” . Never weighed it so I can’t speculate at your question .

My O frame 28 gauge with 28” barrels is 6.2 lbs with unstruck barrel weight of 2/14
My O frame 28 gauge with 26” barrels is 6.4 lbs with unstruck barrel weight of 3/2

5 pounds, 14oz

My 30" 28 weighs 6lbs, 4oz

I've got to agree with Mr. Larter on the weight of a Fox 20 to a Parker O frame 20. The Fox is just slimmer and lighter. I've got 8 Parker 20's, all O frames and I certainly love shooting them. The frame of my OO 28ga is actually the same size as one of my Fox 20's or 16's.

Light doesn’t work for me from a shooting standpoint. I loved carrying my OO frame 28’s in the woods but I damn sure couldn’t kill anything with them. The little more weight of the O frame is significantly more effective for me.

Would love to see that 000 frame 28!

I love my #6 frame Parker 8ga guns and can understand the weight using 2oz or 2 1/4oz loads back in the day. But why a 6 frame in any other gauge? Why would anyone want a 13 pound plus 12ga or 10ga?? I once owned a 10ga D 36" #6 frame, that is still owned by a member, it was a beast.

I’ve had a five frame hammer 10 in my hands (owned by a friend) and three four frame hammer guns in my hands one of which I got from you and I thought the four of them rather cumbersome . But I also think the stock dimensions had a bit to do with that . There was a time I wanted 10’s or 8’s in frames sizes 2-7 got them all except a 5 frame .
