Default PARKER TRAP GUNS

DH(E) Parkers, stocked and choked to the shooters specification, were the choice of some of history's best live and clay trapshooters from 1890 to 1920. PGCA's John Browning gun is a good example. "Trap fore ends" ventilated ribs and single triggers began to appear prior to WW I ( John Dunkle's gun) and became more popular with time until production ended.
The Winchester M12 and M97 were probably the most popular trap guns of the first half of the twentieth century. Many ordinary 16 yd singles shooters continued to prefer the SxS as the two barrels provided a forward weight bias and a smoother swing.

Best, Austin
