I remember being at the Grand American in Vandalia and seeing piles of Parker Repros being closed out at $1895 and up for combos. Jaquas and Guns Unlimited had them. Cape Outfitters were also selling them at the time. It was the deal of the century!

Now is indeed a good time to purchase. But I agree with nid-28, the closeout sale was the real deal--I got in with a 28-ga. DHE.

I had forgotten that single trigger guns brought a $100 premium. Times have changed!

What year was the closeout?? (not that I would have gotten a gun...just was not Parker "aware" at that time...)

I went in an Alaskan gunshop back then. The guy had 12ga repros lined up on the counter marked $2495 ea, said he couldn't give them away and begged me to just make him an offer on any or all of them.

I bought a 20 combo from jaqua's....it was a single trigger set. I had to take a loan to get it!....That was before I relized that I liked double triggers like my first gun dad gave me. I had beagles for hunting bunnys, Ohio had no ringnecks left by then! Never could work that selector with cold hands or with any speed! I sold it!!! That was 18 years ago.....I was 39 years old....(-: Times are better now...I have a nice collection of repro double trigger guns...a gordon setter pup.... hunt birds in Kansas and grouse in P.A. Now how to get back to age 39?.........SXS ohio

I picked up my first (and only) Reproduction 28" 28ga SST, straight stock, splinter from Jaqua's a couple yrs ago for $4k. I bought it with the idea of making it into a 410 with the CSM barrels I ordered before I bought the gun itself. Beautiful gun and I believe a best buy bargain for the money. An equivalent gun for gauge/price in a Spanish gun just can't hold a candle to a Parker Reproduction, IMO.

I'm a new member and just received this gun in which I am well pleased. This makes my third repro, two 20's and one 28. Thought 3 inch mod/full gun would be great on western pheasants.
