Yeah, that is the first time I have actually seen one come to market second hand. I am sure that some got out the door before the operation went belly-up.
To my understanding, there was some legal issues over the name as well.
In my opinion, these guns are a total abomination. Not only in them being an O/U, but even in styling. I think if Parker were to have actually built an O/U, the result would be much different than that.
I wonder what the creators of that had going through their heads thinking that was ever a good idea.
I suppose that at the time, O/U were THE double gun being used and they thought that the "Parker" name was enough to make people line up to buy one. Maybe that is all that did get bought... ONE.
