Default Trap Guns

Parker SBT #193918 This gun is a B Grade with an Acme Steel 32" barrel. Bore is .738 and and .038 choke that is 4 and 1/2". long . Measures .700 at the muzzle. and the rib is tight. Has Remington Date codes "XPP3"

This thread caught my interest,soooooooo I took this old gun out today along with 2 boxe's of #3 hard shot (hand loads) to see how it would shoot. It shot very tight and about 70 30 up. I shot some patterns at 60 yds. into a snow bank and they really looked good. They also killed l what I shot them at. If a person could get along with out that second shot this gun would make a good late season Pheasant gun, or a good Crow gun. I may even try it next year. I hunt with a couple of no saftey guns so the saftey thingy is a non issue. Good Luck

An update....I was looking at the rib situation this evening and lo and behold the pin at the end of the rib at the breech is not a pin but a 4-40 screw with about an 1/8" of thread counter-bored into the rib. Now I can see why these screws can work themselves loose after 1000's of rounds.

Dave,

I was a little perplexed at your last reply so I looked at my SBT. I looked for the pin/screw with the naked eye and didn't see it. Only after I got a magnifying glass was I able to detect the round circle indicating that the pin/screw was there. The matting and the blueing was perfect. I always assumed that the rib was held on the breech with solder. How can the screw work it's way loose when the matting on the pin head lines up perfectly with the rest of the matting on the rib?

How do you know the dimensions of the screw? Did you take it out? Inquiring minds want to know

Kurt,

You coming to the show this weekend? If so, I've got a handful of hulls for you.

Chuck, Apparently the screw on the rib of my SBT had striped and became visible. I was able to fix the thread and reinstall the screw. It's not perfect but at some point I will replace it and have it re-engraved. But i don't get to shoot it anymore anyway as Danny has decided it's his trap gun.....I have been shooting the double trap lately.

Doncha love it when your kids finally start making intelligent decisions? Wish I could get my grandkids to decide to pay for shells!

Ya sure do John, I think Danny's thought process is something like....Just run them empty hulls through the reloader and just like magic they are ready to go again....

Dave - I think it's time to have "The Talk" with these boys. It's time they learn about these adult subjects.

He is already very aware of the fun adult subjects.....I think he needs the adult talk about spending the required time at the reloading bench...because I know the buying your own componants talk will end up with "No way I need money to spend on women...... At that point he will have me and he will know it....
