I bought a 20ga repro from the same guy a few weeks ago. Probably paid on the high side but it was a 28” gun with double triggers and nice wood. Turns out I had actually hunted with the guy in Texas years ago. He has a lot of guns for sale.

Attended a gun show in Dallas recently and there were at least 6 Repros for sale; all in the $4000-5000 range. I don't pay much attention to them so don't know the gauges, but no outlandish pricing and very little notice from attendees that I saw.

However, that was the absolute top of the Repro market and everything after that sale returned to normal. Today, a gun like that is $7850 on guninternational, a much more reasonable price. The 28" 12 gauges are still out there, but a year from now, they will be gone too. The 28" twenties will be out there for awhile, but not forever. Are these great guns or what?
They are great guns! Repro's are what led me to Parker Shotguns. I stumbled into one accidentally! I have been searching and learning about Parkers ever since. My next original will be a 16 (unless one pops up or drops in my lap I can't pass up). I was extremely tempted by the last two Josh L. had for sale but I like the graded guns.

I have always wanted a 28 Gauge. Like most, at this point that was going to be out of reach for right now, again, unless it is a great deal.

I just sent a check out for one that popped up. Not a steal but 26" with Q1 Q2, exactly what I wanted. The Repro's are an affordable way into the 28 game.

If this is a "rare" configuration, what other ones would be rare ?

28ga, straight stock, splinter, delete trigger skeet in/out and mod/imp cyl ?

The same with double triggers might be more rare.

"Double trigger " became delete trigger

Personally, I don't believe there was a large percentage of Repro buyers back in the day, nor today for that matter, that prefer to buy a Repro configured with a PG, BT and double triggers. Sure there are some, but not a lot -- maybe he was referring to rarity in that sense. Or, if this gun does indeed have a 14 7/8" LOP it might be rare in the sense there probably weren't a lot of Repros ordered with a custom LOP.

I will say that I have a sweet little GHE 20 that has DT/BT w/pistol grip 26" that is just about the perfect upland bird gun.

If I didn't already have that same Repro in 28 gauge with Q1/Q2 chokes I'd certainly be looking for one.
