Default Let's celebrate them Repros!

Tom Skeuse had a dream, being a Parker collector he was concerned that the few remaining Parkers had been retired to collector's gun cabinets and that unique feel of a Parker would be lost forever. Mr. Skeuse put his own efforts and resources behind the dream to introduce a Parker reproduction that would satisfy the most discriminating sportsman. We owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Skeuse and his foresight for all of us to enjoy!

We own our Parker Repros for various reasons...some of us hunt them, some of us use them as target guns, some of us collect them and some of us have them just to look at, but all of us love them...so let's see them!

I'll start it off with my "Po' Man's Parker", it's a 28-ga. DHE, 2-bbl. set, 26" Q1/Q2, 28" M/F with a set of 28/.410 Chambermates. The Quilted Claro blank used on this gun is quite unique, when viewing the gun from different angles the dark areas change to light and visa versa.




And when the 28 is too much gun, in go the Chambermates.

Here's my 20/20/16 Repro skeet gun. 26" Q1 & Q2, 28" Q1 & Q2, 28" F & F 16 ga. Galazan.

It is a very versatile skeet gun with a set of turkey barrels. I've shot most of the color off the frame but it still works perfectly as long as I do my part.

I was never really pleased with the wood but the gun was made to exactly replicate an original Remington/Parker skeet gun and with these original features is relatively unique.

Here's a few pics of my Parker Repro 28 Ga 2 BBL set that Angelo Bee did the gold inlays on many years ago.It is by far my favorite upland gun for dove and quail.

Here is my favorite, both because of its beauty and because of its fit. I haven't seen another A1-Special with this combination of SG/DT and the long 14 5/8 LOP.

Posted for Kenny Graft:


"Rare double trigger set...best I can figure only 9 sets left the factory in DHE grade 410/28 , only 4 of them are known to have double triggers. I have records of 8 of the original sets. It is possible that additional 410 barrel sets exist that were sold stand alone to be added to guns previously owned that did not get included in Tom Skues recollection of 410-s ? No matter few exist! thanks all SXs ohio...(-: "

That is a gorgeous Repro! I'd love to see some more close-ups of the gold inlays ....
