Curtis,
That Baker your referring to was tagged as an Olympic. It did have a somewhat "modified" stock.

Hey Ken, How ya doin'?
You might just be right, it's been a while since I seen it. Saw it several times at the Springdale AR show.

You guys are forgetting, that is a trap gun. That is what trap guns are supposed to look like. That is probably an Anton stock which would have cost a pretty penny. Like I mentioned a few days ago, you should have seen the Winchester Model 12 with a 2 inch Moneymaker rib on top that was sold at our club a while back. Now that was strange looking.

I had a SBT restocked. It was a lot less than $3500.

I saw, back when I shot registered birds many M12's with either that Anton style stock with the extreme flared PG-also, and as my squad leader Lyndell Byrd once said-after seeing a M12 with the white plastic Hydro-Coil stock- "That is uglier than home made poop"--I had a Parker SBT many years ago- Morgan Pad- rechoked, release trigger- and no matter how I set the pad I couldn't consistently break angle targets with it- and for 16 yard doubles- well a SBT won't work-I even had a trigger man reverse the release trigger to astd. pull trigger, after the 'smith altered it- the pull weight was not consistent so I traded it-probably shoulda kept it though! Don't shoot clays hardly at all now-I am sure the fine O/U shotguns are more popular nowadays-Most SBT guns I saw were the Ithacas-never saw a Baker or a Fox or a Smith SBT-and then the Japanese Browning BT-99 of course--

Yes the Win.37 is still out there. There are some gunsmiths that are modifying the daylights out of them, so you wouldn't even recognize it for what it is.
I realize the Baker is a trap gun and that is why I want one. I like my guns to be somewhat as original as possible in configuration.

I started with 37's back in the mid 70'. Crisp light trigger,Moneymaker type rib,ajustable comb (Morgan pad). Sold around 25 of them to the east coast at two hundred a pop and the last few at 300.00.Wish I kept one as clean 37 are getting more spendy.

You should have kept one of those ugly Hydro-coils, Fox. Today they go for a fortune and are rare as hen's teeth.
