2018 Parker vs LC Smith 16 ga and 20 ga Challenge Events

[C grade]

Our iconic PGCA member, friend and gunsmith Dave Fjelline currently has 8 Parkers for sale. The important feature is none of these Parkers were viable before Dave went to work on them. Two were just empty receivers, most were sans barrels and all were missing many parts. He was able to bring these Parkers back to life and the highest price one is $1,800. The point of this story is that the majority of the guns John Truit shoots were unshootable before John resurrected them. I have seen John, with Fjelline's help, take many pieces of Parker junk and after much time and $$ create a good shooting Parker.
Are they "original" Parkers? Who cares. JMHO David

Very true David and as I said above I don't think I own an original Parker.
If we imposed "originality" on LC Smith, I think none of their shooters could shoot.
I don't see why we can't allow Repros. They are Remington Parkers with different badging. We allow CSMC Foxes.
