Ralph, I bought my first Parker single in 1971, been buying them ever since. I even sold one one time, a mistake of my own making. I have a small flock of SC grades, two of them 20 gauges, a nice SB, and a Runge engraved SAA upgrade. I would like to find a nice A, have missed a couple. The last SA1 Special sold at auction was a bit beyond my comfort zone. I've been shooting the singles for 48 years so far.

Good on you. They were (and are) made to be used. Most of our SBTs probably get more use than all the rest of our Parkers put together.

Thanks John, the next thing I plan on doing is to request a letter on the SBT and see what that turns up.

Jeff is correct. I've probably run more shells through my SB and SC than all my other guns combined.

Dave, I saw that gun sold at a bargain price and missed it. If I were buying guns, I would contact the owner with an offer. I'm not sure if it's an original SA or an upgrade. My SAA is also one of Shelly's guns.

I looked at an SA a while back and considered it. But I couldn't see that much difference from my SB and I actually liked my SB more. I passed. Now an SAA would be a different story.

Bill, there is definitely something special about the Parker SBT. I never owned one before, but was sure missing a great example of fine craftsmanship. I plan on shooting my SBT one of these days, and maybe look for another one.
