SBT questions; help!

I agree. A barrel that has had nearly 5" taken off of it should not have that much choke left in it.

Unless he is just measuring the muzzle diameter and assuming a .729" bore. the bore could be tighter than that from the factory.

Phil,

BTW, did you know you can now watch re-runs of this one on Me-TV? Perhaps a bit of food for thought?

I copied this from a fellow's post on the SBT forum here; maybe this explains it?

"My SC trap, however, has a long, slow choke that begins about six inches from the muzzle, starts to get warm with about 2.5 inches to go, and finishes with a half inch of parallel.

It's hard to say what the price for that gun would be.

Give you some opinion based on SBT guns I am looking at. Ithca Knick restored finish not cut, LC Smith SBT not cut or cleaned , either gun would make a good shooter, sellers are asking about 1000. Friend of mine has had a Parker SBT untouched except pad added for sale few years now. I used it for a while works fine. You may find pictures on this forum using search. We are still apart on the price, starting at 3200. I think the Parker SBT is worth twice the Ithca or Smith. He thinks more. My opinion pad alteration makes a big difference, others don't discount it as much as I do.

Cut Barrel Trap gun even a Parker would not be worth anything to me.

Bill, SBT trap guns came equipped with a pad from the factory. Most had Hawkins but the Brothers P would install whatever the customer wanted.
