Default Parker SC Trap 242055

A friend was selling for his sister SC 242055. It was owned years ago by a former president of the PGCA. It was redone supposedly by the DelGrego
family in the 60s. To me it looks like a new gun, and yes I shot it at wobble trap range and got 21 on first round.

What do you thing is not correct about the gun. The pad is a Hawkins.

I was told it was made in 1941.

It has 32 inch barells with 2 ivory beads

It looks like a typical DelGrego restoration on a gun that wouldn't seem to have needed a restoration.
It is very handsome, nonetheless.
My issues are the case colors, the shiny finish on the wood, etc. It looks too good.
But it seems to be in perfect condition. Like you said- a "new gun".

The pictures are off because I wiped it down with Ballistol...it does have a satin finish. It is a mystery as to whey it was " Resored"

There are florescent lights in my office and no light outside and that makes some glare

It is a beauty. SC SBT s are a classic example of form following function. Altered or untouched they remain beautiful.

What a LOOKER! That must raise a few heads out at the 16 yard line? Put a thousand rounds through her and that "new car smell" will be a distant memory!! Yup, 2015 will be the year of the SBT. Good shooting.

Case colors redone obviously. A stock refinish is a given, but my opinion is that the stock is also a new one likely made by Delgrego when the gun was restored. Some things about the shape of it in spots and also the piece of wood used suggest a restock.

The pad on the qun is different than the ad, it is a Hawkins with the heart shapes, I have seen some guns with the DelGrego family
name on them.

I bet if CSMC made one today with real engraving and wood like their Remington
Parker 28 gauge it would cost $ 20 to 30 thousand.

Thanks for all comments
