Yes, they sold out the entire edition which was reportedly some 350 guns. I have heard there is/was quite a cult following of these guns by waterfowl hunters in the Grand Junction, TN area with the federal mandate requiring non-tox shot nationwide.
I probably should have qualified my statement of all Parker Reproductions being steel shot compatible as I understand that it is recommended that something looser than a Full choke be used. The Steel Shot Specials were choked .006/.018 and have 3" chambers. My feeling is that SSS's were designed to fill a niche, but also a marketing effort to sell more guns---which isn't a bad thing.
