Default 1905 Quality CH Trap Gun

For viewers interest in Parkers, this is a 1905 Parker CH 12ga with ejectors sold to Pacific Iron and Steel in Azusa, CA. It has a drop at heel of 2 1/4", original Length of pull of 14 1/4" and originally without safety. The original Jostam two ply sponge pad is now changed to a Silvers with leather facing. A safety was factory added. The barrels are 30" Bernards choked L and R .038. The metal is original finish. The wood was dull so I used alcohol to wipe off all loose finish and added several coats of member Brian Board's Timberluxe. I recommend Timberluxe.

This would have been a trap gun, some people call these live bird guns, but not knowing if pigeons were used as targets, the better description is simply a no safety gun. The top tang was curved then ground flat when the safety was later installed. Weight is 7 lbs 14oz on a no. 2 frame. The barrels have turned a little brown but still show much contrast. The case colors are maybe 50 percent plus, thin in places and dark in others.

The Remington 1 oz 2 3/4 dre cartridges and their reloaded equivalents are what I use for target loads.

As a side note, this gun is in the range of the rondel side panel guns 1900 to 1905 but does not have that interesting engraving. This one is standard C engraving like about 3/4 of them. I saw my second B the other day with double rondel side panels. The rondel guns were 1900 to 1905, about 25 per cent of C's , an unknown number of B's , at least one D and I'm told a G , but have not seen that gun or photos. I surmise they were done by a single unidentified engraver who was at Parker for that limited time.
