Just a question after an earlier thread wherein someone was whipped with a wet noodle after using the wrong word. I read posts here with "floor plate" to denote what is generally referred to as "trigger plate" by other makers. Seems like floor plate is proper for bolt action rifles and trigger plate for double shotguns. So, is floor plate being used properly as per Parker factory terminology?

That is an excellent question Frank. Let defer to the whipper for the answer.

I use both terms. I tend to use 'trigger plate' for hammer guns and 'floor plate' for hammerless guns, but I am no authority and I really don’t know what the correct all-inclusive terminology is for sxs guns.

Looks like we just may have an upcoming "skinny". BTW, Brian, no whipping, just a gentle nudge.

In a 1956 Remington folder on Parker parts it is referred to as a trigger plate. This is very similar to the parts illustration that can be seen from the home page under technical information but I do not believe it to be the same which refers to it as a trigger plate as well.

Then there is the definition of Floorplate as taken from Hallowells Firearm dictionary as follows: "Floorplate - A cover, usually of metal, usually hinged and latched, on the bottom of a bolt action rifle action which, when opened, allows the internal magazine to be emptied."

Trigger plate it is. I’m 0 for 2.

Whatever we call it, we all know what part of the gun it is.

Woodcock / timberdoodles / bog-suckers / bug-eye / "little russet fellers" / mudbats.....

Shotgun / fowling piece / scattergun / side-by-side / over-under....

Ruffed grouse / "The King" / partridge / pa'tridge / pattiges / pat'idge / pats / thunder chickens...


We know what all of those terms mean.
