Default Newly inherited SBT

I recently inherited my Grandpa's 12 g SBT. I love going trap shooting, but normally use my tried and true Wingmaster. After I have it gone through and cleaned, is there a ammo type that is suggested for a '36 SBT? Cant wait to get it out and have some good old memories!

I have done quite a bit or research and I'm going to have a research letter done on it. What is the mostly letters stamped on the bottom of the barrel where it locks in? My is stamped CF3PE

These were the hot ticket back when your Grandfather's gun was made --

At this time, I'd shoot Federal papers for the nostalgic smell.

Yup, shoot Trap Loads. That's what it was made for.

Wow!! Thirty-Six inch barrel - now there's a scarce configuration! You're a lucky man.

Dean, I think he means the gun was made in 1936, not the barrel length. Just a guess but I think the gun was made in 1935. The CF3P could mean the gun was serviced by Parker/Remington in April 1937. I just don't know what the P is.

36" or 1936? I'm betting the latter

Yes, meant 1936. Also, what would you guys think of condition? the gun was given to my grandpa from his dads cousin in Casper,WY. Love the history and can't wait to get the research letter. Hoping it was bought by J.T. Irick.

I would say it's in very high original condition. I can't comment on the pad though, I don't know what year that particular style was introduced.

I love that original unmessed-with trap comb.

HI Jeff

You have a really nice, unmolested SBT in amazing condition with also I believe is the original Hawkins model 25 recoil pad.

Shoot standard 3 dram 1 1/8oz trap loads will be no problem with this gun although shooting lighter 1 oz will do the job just fine from the 16 yard line and easier for the gun and your shoulder.

These guns pattern beautifully than today's expensive trap guns. Your new Parker from your grandad will incinerate them. Enjoy and give us a recap on your first shoot.

The condition is extremely high. End of story. Who is the fellow you mentioned? Not likely to get original ownership information from a PGCA letter, but I could happen.

What a wonderful high condition SBT! Congratulations. I agree that the pad is original Hawkins or at least an original style replacement. Grind'em up!
