Making of a Doubles Trap Gun

[Mike Franzen]

Is that the one you bought at the Southern a few years back? We all know a trap shooter’s gotta do what a trap shooter’s gotta do.

[John Davis]

That’s the one.

At least I didn’t add wood to the stock.

I remember seeing you handling that gun at the Southern. If I didn't have a CHE trap, I would have been all over it.

John, the changes you made to your Parker are mild. If you guys want to see some badly butchered up doubles, go to the S.A.S.S. {cowboy action shooting}
I have gone to the S.A.S.S. shoot at the Ben Avery Range in Arizona for the last 10 years. The first few years I saw high grade Parker's with Cut off barrel's,
reamed out chambers, shorten stocks, tacks hammered into the wood, ejectors removed and, well when they get done firing off their shots, they ''throw'' the gun on a wooden table. Luckily for Parker Lovers, they gave up butchering Parker guns, {they don't hold up}. Their guns of choice are B-SS & Ithaca SKB
doubles. Those guns are tough as nails, especially the B-SS.

Harry, in my experience the Parkers hold up pretty well.
