A pic in Dick Baldwin's book shows him as a youngster shooting a Parker SC with an obviously shorter barrel. When I first bought Annie most folks agreed that the rib treatment at the muzzle was not Parker work, so the assumption was that the barrel had been shortened. But as I wrote in PP, the choke measures full so...? My letter shows that Annie left the factory with a 34" barrel. As I recall TPS lists a few 28" SBTs but no 27's.
