Time fly's posted this nearly 4 years ago. At the time owned a couple of other SxS no Parkers, since have converted to all most all Parker's and am a PGCA Member.
The SBT pictured belonged to a Schuetzen Shooting friend of mine who got it from the widow of one of his old friends. Monthly rifle matches he always asked me if I wanted it. I did but was after other Parker's first. Anyhow brought it home yesterday now a SBT owner. Like to shoot it at the Fall Southern Trap Challenge.
It needs a fresh pad that's all. Excepting the pad I can see no changes from the factory. Will start looking for correct. One on the gun is a Pachmyer, very hard and slick. Choke starts about 5 inches out drops to .040 just like it should. Question I do have, penciled inside the forearm is " 5-1927" Old mark, does not appear as old as the gun. Was the date inside the wood common on Parker's, none of my other guns have it.
Ordering a letter today.
