1st SBT

[PAUL PLUNKETT III]

Mike great looking SBT. Mike does your gun also have the barrel markings engraved on the top rib? Seems this is another feature of the early guns. Later guns are roll stamped on the side of the barrel above the action. We may have to start another thread looking for a Serial number range when these practices were changed. I am including a couple pics here to give you an idea of the pigeon engraving found on some SC traps. Picture 1 is a late 20's vintage gun with the typical style pigeon found from guns ranging from 1920? to 1933?. Some time after the Remington take-over guns start to appear with the pigeon like is found in Picture 2. I look forward to discussions on these features with all you SBT fans out there to try and narrow down the changes in the SBT's over the years. These SBT's remain somewhat of a mystery with most collectors and I am glad to see this addition to the PGCA website. Great Idea for an additional forum . Kudos to all involved. Paul
