You’re likely right, Paul. After you mentioning this, I seem to recall that offering as well, but wasn’t sure if I was misremembering or not, so I posted the info of what I had.
It appears that the CSMC Parker Reproduction and original Parker repro barrels had undergone some significant price increases in just a few short years. Paul seems to recall the very first offering of CSMC 16ga. Repro barrels were priced at $1300. Then they went to $1895.00, then $3995.00 and finally $4800.00 with the orig. Parker repro barrels significantly higher. The pricing below was listed in and taken from Galazan catalogs 16,17 & 18.
The inflation we've experienced lately hasn't been just a recent phenomenon, eh?
