You are right the beads are not Ivory. I was thinking it's not possible to replace with proper Ivory. If you have a contact please let me know via PMail. I have some small broken Ivory Jewelry that could be used to make a couple

Zapping the letter request to you right now

Brownells has some made from mammoth ivory which are legal with the government restrictions; you can get them from NEG too. They are kinda big but I have had good luck chucking them in my Dremel and turning them down against a fine file or fine sandpaper to get them to the size I want.

A little late on the draw but here's Annie with her SBT giving shooting instructions to a young girl.

Nope... I just took a closer look and that's not a Parker SBT at all... looks more like an Ithaca SXS... Sorry.

You know, Annie wasn't a bad looking gal...

I had a mammoth ivory bead installed on my 28 ga. VHE

It is quite white but can be stained to appear older.

My SC, an early gun, does not have a mid-bead. The bead at the muzzle looks like ivory and is of standard size. The gun has a beaver tail forearm. The wood doesn't match the stock very well, so I think it was an add on. I patterned it the other day. It shoots high as a cat's back. It is darn near a "100 percenter". It only dropped 4 pellets below the POA at 30 yds.

Steve, the true trap guns, especially the SC's, are designed to shoot high for a rising clay at the traps. Your POI is not unusual for a SC.

Lady Club member who was a champion Trap shooter is going to give me a lesson Monday. She's going to start with POI test said it ought to throw 70/30 at 16 yards. Will see
