Sometimes guns do speak to us and probably just about everyone on this forum has felt the sirens call. It happened to me with a 20 ga barrel that was sent to me by Jim DiSpagno. As soon as I touched the barrels I called him up and asked if he'd sell me the rest of the gun which he graciously agreed to do. If you're happy with your gun that's what matters most. It doesn't sound like you're delusional about it being 10 times what you paid for it. Bottom line it's a Parker SBT and you're the caretaker.

Phil, I was real close to buying that gun, but Mr. Murphy was not replying to my questions. Don't feel bad about your 27 1/4" barrel. I have a Parker SC with a Cutts Compensator that I love to shoot.

I took the SC to the range today. I was the ony one there, so standing at each station and shooting 5 consecutive shots was a little weird, but that's the way way it is. Doesn't take long to shoot a round of trap like that! After the first round I had almost decided I had made a gross error...I couldn't hit squat. I gave up keeping track after the first 5 or 6 shots, but I doubt I hit more then 7 or 8 in the whole round. The trigger pull is very light compared to the guns I normally shoot in the field; that took me some getting used to.

I took a break, sat a spell, drank a bottle of water, relaxed a little. I broke the first target on the second round, broke the second, broke the third...I was 17 of 20 through the first four stations. We won't talk about station 5, but by then I had convinced myself that the misses were definitely the fault of the shooter and not the gun. So far I'm still happy...

The gun did attract some attention from the guy running the range and the only other guy there who was on the skeet range; they liked it a lot!
