Then Marlins shouldn’t be allowed. Skeuse Parkers were licensed by Remington.

Marlins aren't allowed and that was the thinking behind no Parker repros

They wanted to keep it old school I would speculate. Use the force, Luke

Wrong Mills--from what I can read. See Rule 1 copied below

GUNS & EQUIPMENT

1. Shooters must use a vintage double shotgun manufactured by the gun maker represented by their Organization. Those shooting LC Smith guns and representing the LCSCA are limited to LC Smith guns manufactured in Syracuse and Fulton, NY; and those manufactured under Marlin Firearms ownership in New Haven, CT. Those shooting Parker Bros. or Parker labeled guns and representing the PGCA are limited to Parker guns manufactured in Meriden, CT; and Ilion, NY.

Riddle me that one Bat-man.

I'm gonna shoot my Skeuse Parker.

Perhaps but why are we splitting hairs?
we can shoot the Skeuse Parkers in the Fox competition and they can shoot CSMC Foxes.

Yes I do because I shoot it all season on ducks-it’s a SSS. It has modern dimensions and I don’t mind running modern ammunition in it.

I personally agree that Parker retros SHOULD be allowed for the competition. And as to the new Remington/CSMC guns, hey... if someone is going to drop $50k for one, they should be able to shoot it in anything that they want. But... it is not my call.

The Marlin Smiths made directly after Hunter's manufacture of them were true smith guns by design. The newer ones were italian guns of different design and were "smiths" in name only. So I completely understand the position taken there.
