All of them are #3 frame as far as I know except for my #6 frame which was rebarrelled by Parker Brothers from a late PH Grade 8 gauge.

thanks BILL ive always wondered about this frame size on the 3 1/2 inch 10 ga...how many of these 10 ga s were were made is there a record of how many... do you think the barrels are special made for the 3 1/2 inch chambers or were they just lentghened out chambers of the 2 7/8 chambers...and i wonder about what these guns weighed... bill that 6 frame ten of yorswould make a fine turkey gun.... charlie

Charlie: The wt. on my 3 frame with 30 inch barrels when it left the factory was 9 lb. 10 oz. It now has a wt. of 10lb. 3 0z. after barrel and stock change. Thomas

I've seen one of the handful that was actually made as a 3 1/2 inch guns. I've seen three (including mine) and all had been rebarreled at the factory for the longer shells. Mine is a #3 frame, not a super heavy gun either. Started life as a damascus GH if memory serves.
