SBT thoughts

[Chad Hefflinger]

Here a a couple pics of my SBT, I allways felt like it had been re-done at some point based on the amount of case color and strange yellowish inlay in the forearm. Be interested to hear opinions from others who know more about these guns than me.

Sorry I can't seem to figure out how to add more than 1 pic at a time.

Heff,
You have a handsome gun. I can't contribute on the originality best to let others more knowledgeable chime in.

Jeff, nice gun but I am no help on the originality question.
I have found that when trying to upload pictures from my IPad or iPhone I can only load one at a time per post. Each image uploads as "image.jpg" so each image overwrites the first.
Save your images on a computer and give them distinct names, then you can upload as many as you like into a single post.

maybe updated but looks nice

That is a beautiful gun. I'm not an expert but I question if the butt stock is original. Others who know better can comment. What make is the recoil pad? Maybe the inlay in the fore end is some trap shooters pet device.

The pad is a decelerator, the inlay looks like a round(size of a nickel)pc of yellow plastic?? I have been told it my be ivory that has yellowed over the years. Serial # says its a early Remington gun 236922. Would these guns have the serial# in the wood under the trigger guard?

Based on what I see, it looks like the frame has been recolored and the gun has been restocked. Major hints at the stock are the overall form differing from thpical style in many ways. ie: the comb, grip and the cheek panels. Nothing screams incorrect about the forend, except for the oval inlay and the checkering looks off in places. That along with the fact that it seems to match the stock makes me think it was replaced along with the stock.

Mike, I beg to differ on the pad. It looks to me to be a nice quality done double line leather covered pad.

[Mike Franzen]

Brian I only asked if there was a makers name on the pad. I agree with you about the originality of the gun. All that being said, it's a fine looking SBT.

[Randy Davis]

I`ve owned a few Single Barrel Trap guns and it looks from the pics the fine ol` Parker has been restocked and refinished. Now its time to take it to the Trap line...

Thanks for the input guys, I've had this gun for over 15 yrs, and use to shoot a lot of trap with it.
When I bought it, I thought it had been re-done but never really knew for sure and didn't have much for resources back then to confirm that fact. I don't shoot much trap anymore(virtually none in the last 7-8 yrs) but digging this out of the safe makes me want to go shoot a round or two at one of the local sportsamans clubs this Sunday. If I do two things are for certain, I will not win high overall, and this will be the best looking gun there.

Randy, the gun on the bottom of the second picture is a Three Barrel Gun Co. SBT. I inherited one from my grandfather. It was the highest grade (C) that they made. I had it repaired by Maurice Mudges in NY. The ATA museum didn't have one in their collection so I donated it to them. Wish I had never done that! Are these guns yours?

[Randy Davis]

Chuck, yes it is... Mine is a B grade, still in its original condition . I knew the Museum had a C grade, I too wish you still had it. They are a rare and quality
made shotgun. I have a 1907 Three Barrel Gun Co. catalogue & price list. Yes, the SBT collection is mine, displayed them three years ago. Have added a couple since then.

Best regards,
Randy

I have what looks like the exact pad on my 1928 Trojan. Was the "decelerator" pad an option at that time?

[Brian Dudley]

No, it is a pad that dates a lot later than that.

Do I recall that some late Remington guns were cyanide rather than bone charcoal. That would explain bright colors. Deal grego after he left Remington also used cyanide. Somewhere in Parker story. Need to look
