Chas. Askins wrote that his Parker Bros. 28-gauge with 30-inch barrels weighed 6 3/4 pounds. It was probably one of the early 0-frame guns. Good thing it was that heavy as he writes of loading 2 1/8 drams of bulk smokeless powder and 3/4 ounce of shot in the 2 7/8 inch 28-gauge case for it in those pre WW-I days. The heaviest 28-gauge loads our ammo factories offered then were 2 drams of bulk smokeless powder pushing 5/8 ounce of shot out of the 2 7/8 inch case.
Back in the day, $25 was the price point to shoot for. Remington Arms Co.'s K-Grade, Hunter Arms Co.'s 00-grade L.C. Smith and Lefever Arms Co.'s DS-Grade all had a $25 net selling price. |
