Choke is determined by the actual constriction between bore and muzzle. If the bore is at all oversized, a drop in choke gauge is useless.

Welcome to the wonderful world of SBTs. Shoot it, don't hide it in a safe. They are addictive. They eat lots of ammo. Feed it and it will grow on you. Have fun and enjoy your SBT.

Thanks Jeff,
I shoot all my old shotguns. Most of them shoot great and I enjoy it. I used a Lefever nitro special at sporting clays last week. Good fun. Back to the Parker SBT, in the store using a drop in gage, the chamber measured short of 2 3/4 inches. It looked about 2 5/8 as many of the Parkers I have seen do measure. Will I have to use 2 1/2 inch shells in it? Seems strange for a trap gun. Mike Scelzo |

Perfectly OK to shoot any modern 12ga. shell in this gun.

Well I bought s/n 237939 and couldn't be happier.
Reading through other threads I figured out some of the markings but not all. Clearly it is a SC Grade 4 with a 3 lb 5 oz barrel. Any ideas about the A and the small W? It appears to be in very nice original condition but the recoil pad has been replaced with a Pachmayr. If someone knows what recoil pad shoule be on a 1935/1936 SBT I may have it changed. The case color is great and it locks up "like a bank vault". There is no mid rib bead but I don't think that will bother my shooting. Looking forward to shooting it Sunday. Please excuse my poor photography. Mike Scelzo |

Mike,
Congats on your new trap gun. These late guns are my favorites and the Remington SBT guns had some really LONG chokes and shoot very well. Please show us more and let us know what part of the country it came from. Many of the late Remington Trap guns went west and I am always interested to learn their history. Patrick. |
