Default Frame Size
I guess I never gave it much thought but the records for SC's 237938 and 237939, both 1935 Remington era guns, reflect that these two SBT's were built on 1 1/2 frames. The barrels on 237938 are not stamped with a frame size, nor are any of my other Parker SBT's. I didn't realize that the Parker single barrel trap guns were made on different frame sizes. Or were they all 1 1/2 frames?

Would you assume the few 20 gauge singles were on ever so slightly smaller frames ?

How does one determine frame size on a SBT? I have never seen anything published that alludes to frame sizes. Further, it makes no sense whatever to presume Parker would have produced a different frame size for the five 20 gauge SBTs made.

Sense or not I’ll not argue that point . However I think you’ve heard the old saying “never say never” when it pertains to this type thing . I wasn’t saying it necissarily was just did anyone know for sure they’re the same size 12-20 that is .

I was wondering the same thing. And that reference in the stock book is the only reference I’ve ever seen.

Right Craig. There are frame dimensions published for each framevsize but thise are for sxs Parkers. I’ve seen no such dimensions published for the SBT Parkers.
