My gun is ser. no. 45 so you know what time frame I hope to find. Though mine has a forearm, I am certain the wood was replaced, so I am looking for all information I can for checkering and size.

I collect American single barrel trap guns. ross@berck.org Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/12_gauge_singl...h#ixzz212CJ2ih9 plus here http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=282101917#PIC plus here Click on the SBT and good pictures will show http://www.gunsamerica.com/999072025/Guns/Shotguns/Baker-Shotguns/BAKER_SBT_TRAP_GUN.htm And best of all, not for the forend, but Baker Eye Candy !!

At least compared to that later ser. no. Mine does not have the through bolts that this gun also shows. Doesn't mean it never did, just means it is different. Ser. no.? range difference? Also trying to follow the checkering pattern to get a match. So far it all looks good to me. My forearm has a good fit to the gun, it is just oversized,or so it appears. Much easier to trim it down than to find a forearm stretcher. Thanks again!
