General consensus of repro values

[Bill Murphy]

Most people see the 20 gauge Repro as an overweight gun. The slow sales in the closeout was the result of having only 26" guns in one barrel sets. To get 28" barrels, you had to order a two barrel set. Double triggers were only available in two barrel sets and only from selected dealers. The only dealer who had double trigger guns was Guns Unlimited. Jaqua's and Don Shrum did not have much at all because they were the most popular dealers and they sold out fast. You had to be fast on the phone to get what you wanted. The 12 gauge required a premium because they made so few of them and there probably weren't many of them available at closeout time. When I called Guns Unlimited to ask about a double trigger 28, the lady said she had three and that was it, two barrel sets only, straight grips and beavertails. Shrum and Jaqua had nothing. She volunteered to open all the boxes and pick the best one for me. I didn't have the good sense to tell her to send me all three.
