Parker SB Trap Guns

Measured the choke constriction of my SC yesterday. It is 0.045" and about 5 inches long. Is this pretty typical ?

I do know that if I shoot too early I often times miss the target. It works great for the Annie Oakley shoot, will break them at the 27 yard line and the target nearly on the ground........if I do my part.

I shot a Fox with .044" constriction in the 2nd barrel over the weekend. Same story. I ended up with some LOOONG shots when I forgot that there was a second trigger. Birds still broke well (once I stopped swearing at Double triggers in 10 degree weather)

Kurt, what is the bore diameter of your single with the .045 constriction?

Kurt, My SC has about .038 constriction with about 5" of choke. My son Danny loves to let them get out there and then break'em

My favorite is a 34" straight grip SC. Nothing sleeker than a long barrel single with a long straight grip stock sitting in the rack. It looks like a fifties rocket ship ready to blast off. I shot a round of skeet with it a couple of weeks ago.

Bill,
That must have been like shooting skeet with a rifle!

I keep telling myself I don't need a SBT, but they are very cool. And Eightbore is right about the lines of a long barreled single trap. I winch at some of those modern trap shooting contraptions. No soul at all.

I really think you need one of these great guns Ed....

A refinished Parker SBT SN 180421 with 34 inch barrels just sold at Greg Martin's auction last weekend. Brought @ $3,173 with the vig. I believe that it was an SC Grade although it was described in the catalogue as: "Parker Brothers Single-Sho Boxlock Hammerless Skeet Gun" How's that for an accurate description? (the silver oval escutcheon marked: Nov./L.J. Benge/1919)

Best Regards, George

Kurt,
The chokes in my SBT gun's are over 6" long. Not as tight as yours but LONG.
