Default Making of a Doubles Trap Gun

WARNING: The following may be shocking and disturbing to some readers. Proceed with caution.

Parker Bros., CHE, Serial No. 231892, 12 gauge. Original 30 inch vent rib barrels, beavertail forearm and trap style comb. This gun has been modified specifically for Doubles Trap. The barrels have been re-choked specifically for competition, from Full/Full to .020/.030. The safety has been deleted. It has been converted from single trigger to double triggers. And the red Silvers style butt pad has been replaced with a black Kick-Ezz recoil pad.

Among other things, some may question the conversion to double triggers. Personally, I find that the double triggers are more reliable (fewer failures to fire on the second shot) and quicker for me to take the second shot. And yes, the Silvers pad was period correct, but minimizing recoil is so critical in Doubles Trap, particularly with the first shot.
