Chuck/Bill et al. ,

I always thought it was the early (1917) guns that had the access screw on top of the frame? Would be interesting to pin down the ser.# range when that feature was introduced/curtailed.

Regards,

Will Letterman

Steve,

The records don't show when Parker changed the design of the firing pin on the SBT. The Parker Story shows 185608 with the screw on the right side of the frame to access the pin and that was 1919.

It would be good for the Parker Pages First & Last Found section. Latest S/N found for a SBT with screw access to firing pin.

I used to own 180115 SC SBT. A 32" straight grip gun and it had the screw.

Thanks, Chuck. Just what I was thinking. Further testament that great minds do occasionally think alike...LOL. I had always believed that access screw was there when production started in 1917. So much to learn and hopefully, lots more time
to do so. Thanks-----S
