The Road to Yesterday

[Phil Yearout]

I thought the barrel looked short too. Bill you might be thinking of Orphan Annie which I bought with a 27-3/4" barrel. The gun books as a 34-incher and the numbers all match on the gun so the assumption has always been that the barrel was cut, but as per my piece in a recent Parker Pages, the choke measures as Full. It would really be something if Annie was that gun and had custom work done or a new barrel made for it at some point .

Dick Baldwin's short barrel SC was probably built that way at the Ilion works.

Received my copy yesterday of this fantastic book. I read it cover to cover last night. What a piece of history, I would highly recommend this book. It was wonderful to see all of the Parker's, among other SBT's of course as well in this fine publication. A true treasure.

Thank you Phil for sharing. Really appreciate it.


Thanks,


Bobby
