Zapping the letter request to you right now

Brownells has some made from mammoth ivory which are legal with the government restrictions; you can get them from NEG too. They are kinda big but I have had good luck chucking them in my Dremel and turning them down against a fine file or fine sandpaper to get them to the size I want.

I had a mammoth ivory bead installed on my 28 ga. VHE

It is quite white but can be stained to appear older.

The mid bead on my SC is black or blued-looking metal, but the front bead is ivory. Guess the mid bead has been replaced?

William, I measured the front Lyman sight on my SC, it measures .150" in diameter and about the same in height if measured from the rib to top of bead. It looks like Lyman sells a vintage style white front sight but it doesn't give dimensions. Most Bradley sights were threaded sights, Lyman sights were a press fit if I remember correctly. Lyman sells both types.

I believe it was standard for all Parker SBT's to have dual ivory sights.

My SC, an early gun, does not have a mid-bead. The bead at the muzzle looks like ivory and is of standard size. The gun has a beaver tail forearm. The wood doesn't match the stock very well, so I think it was an add on. I patterned it the other day. It shoots high as a cat's back. It is darn near a "100 percenter". It only dropped 4 pellets below the POA at 30 yds.

Steve, the true trap guns, especially the SC's, are designed to shoot high for a rising clay at the traps. Your POI is not unusual for a SC.

[William Davis]

Lady Club member who was a champion Trap shooter is going to give me a lesson Monday. She's going to start with POI test said it ought to throw 70/30 at 16 yards. Will see

The current Lyman sights are white plastic I believe. At least the last ones I got from them were.
