It's hard to imagine a 28 on this frame, but I guess it's possible. Here are the measured dims. Sorry for the fractions but I couldn't put my hands on my dial caliper.
Across the flats 1 5/16" Across breech balls 1 3/4" Between f. pins 7/8" CTC
Interesting note, the fore end lug is one piece 4 3/16" long. Should be very strong.

SRH You are correct Stan. PALUNC and others are wrong. Dickinson DOES NOT use THE SAME FRAME for multiple gauges, they do not double up like CZ/Huglu and others..... The Dickinson is a trigger plate action and easy to work on with excellent internal quality parts, many stainless and all are either polished or stone tumbled and deburred. Internal adjustments are easy.Look at the internals of a CZ/Huglu and then look at the internals of a Dickinson....they are worlds apart in quality. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=313064&page=1 (Pictures of internal parts after removal) http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=313064&page=3 (Internal factory diagrams} Best Regards,

Hmmmm . . . it was reported on another forum that the .410 and 28-ga. Dickinson frames both measure 1.34" across the hinge pin.

Guns of different gauges with frames of same width and depth can be described as "gauge specific" based on differences in size of fences and distance between firing pins.

So, does anyone have a 28 they could measure for us?

Glad you like the gun Stan. i was planning on using mine for yesterday's opening day shoot but I chickened out at the last minute and took my 12 instead. I'm gonna use it on the next shoot though. Mike, Here is a Dickinson sidelock with POW grip.... I'm not a huge fan of the looks of their POW grip http://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-fo...un_id=100514438Adam

I just sent an email to the Dickinson importer in Moorpark CA. They're located about 40-50 miles from me. I asked to visit their facility to view and discuss their guns.

That's inspired me to take out my little AyA .410 this year for wood pigeons. Just a little larger than your doves but there will be collared doves mixed in. Out of interest; what shot size/load and cartridges do you find most effective in your .410? Lagopus.....

I've found the 7 1/2 shot size (American) to be most effective on quail and dove. That said, the collared dove are half again larger than a morning dove or whitewing. I've found that the 3" #6 (American) shot size out of a full choke can really reach out and swat a collared dove at extreme altitudes.
Stan, I cleaned out my PMs and sent you one.
