Parker SBT’s are a niche, within a niche, within a niche. In other words, the market is very small. Serious Collectors of Parker SBT’s (and there aren’t many of them) want only the highest original condition guns. This one’s not. Serious Trap Shooters of Parker SBT’s (and there aren’t many of them) are not so concerned about original condition but want sound wood and mechanics and probably 32 inch or greater barrel length. This one’s not.

It’s still a nice gun with lots of potential, I just wouldn’t get my hopes up that it’s going to fetch a big price or sale quickly.

And, Karl, the good Mr. Davis knows of what he speaks when it comes to Parker SBTs and their shooting.
