Early Trap Guns

[Drew Hause]

Just as a FYI, Hunter Arms offered a "The Trap Gun" buttplate which is commonly found on c. 1890-1910 00 to No. 2 grade guns.



Not sure what the dog and duck had to do with Live Bird and Inanimate Targets

No "Trap Gun" was advertised in the pre-1913 catalogs, but their Pigeon Grade "The only American Pigeon Gun made" was introduced in 1893.

Here are two pieces of info I have, one from some research Mark and I did for an article, and one from my own collection record. There was no apparent reason for the "Parker Trap Gun" butt, the red line divides those with and without in Folsom's order. The order, and the individual gun almost span the top action era. Does anyone have lifter or hammerless with a Parker Trap Gun butt? If so Josh would be interested for Parkers Found.

Best, Austin
