Remington Parker's

[Matthew Brake]

Hi everyone, I may buy a late Remington parker 20 ga and I know their has been a few discussion's on these before but if anyone could just tell me their point of view pro's or con's of these guns I would greatly appreciate it to make a good sound decision. I have read about them in my parker books but never owned one, I don't necessarily need in depth answer's just your heart felt feeling's of these guns. Thanks for time and input, love this web site.

All Parkers are great, they are sometimes just a little different.
I am building a data base of late Remingtons.
PM me your serial number with details and I'll let you know what I know.

[Ed Blake]

No "con" in my view, just a different era.

[Bill Murphy]

Remington Parkers are wonderful guns, many being in high original condition.

[Dave Suponski]

Yup...What Bill said. In fact I'm heading out to shoot one right now..:)

Remington often put much nicer wood on their VH-/VHE-Grades than this extremely plain stuff from Meriden in 1930 --

My 1936 30" SG #2 frame VH12 is a real beauty and a great duck gun. s/n 239189. Remington really did put much nicer wood on lower grade guns than Parker did.

[Richard White]

I would not have any reservations about owning a Rem.-Parker. I liked what Ed said "just a different era."

[John Allen]

As I said on a previous post,the Remington gun generally have more modern stock dimensions as well as nicer wood.

[Brian Dudley]

And given the relative rarity of Remington guns, in both numbers and years manufactured, they are sought after by most collectors.
