My steel shot special is marked 12SS then the serial number on the water table. The SS marking is not found anywhere else on my gun. Bill

My SS-spl is 12oz heavier than my regular 12ga 2 3/4" M/F/ gun, it has a splinter pistol grip and the SS has BTF and english grip. I will weigh the barrel sets only to compair weight when I get some free time......I think the SS barrels will be approx 8oz heavier. My bores on the SS gun with my stan baker gauge reads .735 and chokes are .007/.012 I will also check the non SS bores ??.....chokes are marked M/F and read .012/.035 One special note....my new SS-spl has single trigger so I tried the barrel set and beaver tail on my DT gun and they fit perfectly!....infact the splinter forend even will fit the SS barrels to make a real nice optioned repro... Gotta love them repro's.....((-: thanks all SXS ohio

Well, I answered my own question. I called CSMC and they reduced the price to $4750 because it is not a Steel Shot Special. They thought the difference was chrome lined bbls; I assured him (Lou) that all Parker Repros have chrome lined bbls. Still a nice gun for anyone who wants the 12 ga with 3" chambers, and 28" IC/Mod bbls. Mine took a double on Mallards this morning. Too bad this one has a single trigger .
P.S. Kenny. I weighed mine today and it is 7 lbs, 2 oz. |

If it is marked 3", and is 28" and marked improved cylinder and modified, it is a Steel Shot Special or a special order. Either way, it is worth a premium over other 12 gauge Repros. The Jaqua 28" gun is a SSS or a special order if it is actually marked improved cylinder and modified.

It's not a steel shot special unless it has the 12SS prefix to the serial number on the water table. Bill

Let's see what the report is on barrel weights. I am guessing the barrel weights are identical for the SSS and standard 28" guns. An unmarked gun with identical features as the SSS may not be a SSS but the guns are identical if the barrel weights are identical.

I agree, but nonetheless, a gun marked 12SS will always command a higher price as it is a "Steel Shot Special" with factory markings. Won't shoot any different or better but that's the way it is. Bill
