Choke is determined by the actual constriction between bore and muzzle. If the bore is at all oversized, a drop in choke gauge is useless.

Welcome to the wonderful world of SBTs. Shoot it, don't hide it in a safe. They are addictive. They eat lots of ammo. Feed it and it will grow on you. Have fun and enjoy your SBT.

Thanks Jeff,
I shoot all my old shotguns. Most of them shoot great and I enjoy it. I used a Lefever nitro special at sporting clays last week. Good fun. Back to the Parker SBT, in the store using a drop in gage, the chamber measured short of 2 3/4 inches. It looked about 2 5/8 as many of the Parkers I have seen do measure. Will I have to use 2 1/2 inch shells in it? Seems strange for a trap gun. Mike Scelzo |

Perfectly OK to shoot any modern 12ga. shell in this gun.

Well I bought s/n 237939 and couldn't be happier.
Reading through other threads I figured out some of the markings but not all. Clearly it is a SC Grade 4 with a 3 lb 5 oz barrel. Any ideas about the A and the small W? It appears to be in very nice original condition but the recoil pad has been replaced with a Pachmayr. If someone knows what recoil pad shoule be on a 1935/1936 SBT I may have it changed. The case color is great and it locks up "like a bank vault". There is no mid rib bead but I don't think that will bother my shooting. Looking forward to shooting it Sunday. Please excuse my poor photography. Mike Scelzo |
