Repro 12 gauge DHE 2 barrel set

[Brian Hornacek]

I have not seen many 12 gauge repro guns trade hands and was wondering if I could get a value check on a 12 gauge 2 barrel, 26 IC/Mod, 28" Mod/Full, pistol grip, splinter, sst, new in case with cover. I see them listed for $5400 to $5900. My guess is more like $5k? If you have a very candid response on a recent trade and don't wish to share it on the forum please shoot it via PM.

Thanks all

Brian,
I think the "want" price might certainly be 5K to 6K on these guns but the actual "get" price is in the 4K to 5K range. I purchased mine for 4K a few years ago and felt that I paid a very fair price. It is the exact gun you described. Having said that, I believe 12ga repro's are just like 12ga originals..... Hard to sell for the maximum "want" price.

Every 12ga PR that I have handled, which has not been all that many, has been a particularly well made gun even amongst the Repros..wonder if there's any merit to that observation on a large scale?

[Michael Murphy]

If the figure in the wood is very good, I'd say $5,500 is a good price. There aren't that many 12ga. Two Barrel sets around, and for an unfired one, you'll pay a premium.

Someday in the not too distant future like maybe tomorrow, we'll be saying I can't believe I didn't buy 12 gauge two barrel Repros with factory cases at $5000.

Thanks for the great reference and that is a great example of the market today.

I love my 12 gauge reproduction, it's unbelievably light, coming from a 12 gauge ruger red label that's probably around 8lbs. It's the only gun I've hunted with so far this season. I've been shooting nothing but RST spreader shells, since that's what I shoot out of my Damascus GH its easier to just have one shell on hand. I'm going to try and get another one before next season, preferably a pistol grip one choked imp cyl/mod.

[Scot Cardillo]

Although I would be touting some configuration steeped in 16 & 20 ga barrels due to my affinity for such.

I think the case could easily be made that a 12ga two barrel set choked Q1/Q2 & IC/MOD along with 3" chambers would arguably be the most versatile field gun that is offered save the SCC.

What a keen revelation! The SCC offers all the versatility of the 2-barrel set -- only more of it . . . and doing it without being cumbersome.

Guess I'm glad I kept mine. :)

That's because you are a smart man.

I have both !

( 12 gauge 2 barrel set and a SCC )

Does that make me a VERY smart man ?

Tony- if you join the PGCA I would say you would be a VERY smart man.

[Tony Guccioni]

George, I wanted to join some time back ...

If my memory still supports me, one needed to submit a 'hunting story' to supports one's application.

Unfortunately, I'm ONLY a collector / shooter of clays.

Cheers, TONY.

[George M. Purtill]

Tony
We are open to all lovers of Parkers including Repros.
We would welcome you right away.
Dean and I could fabricate a whopper of a good hunting story for you anyway.

[Dean Romig]

That's right George - I've 'fabricated' several for you....:whistle:

But No Tony, there is no such requirement. You can even join online right here....

I tried; it's a minefield.

( have failed yet again, with this link / computer stuff )

[Dean Romig]

Okay, then just send a check for $40 (annual membership) or $500 (life membership) to
Mary Bowes, 477 Ocean Ave, Wells, ME 04090.

That's about as simple as it gets.

[Eric Eis]

Dean maybe he just wants to find ways not to join... Just a thought

[Dean Romig]

Na... I can't believe that...:confused:

I'm not.

That is an incorrect statement Mr. Guccione.

\Yes anyone willing to part with one

[Kenny Graft]

Back to the Question...Back a few months I traded off a two barrel set about 98%++ DT-PG-SF 26" ic/mod and 28" M/F both 2 3/4 chambers, case, cover ect. The gun was used to buy a more expensive SXS. The dealer allowed me 6500.00 and resold it for more! FAST! Double trigger 12 gauge with 28" barrels are scarce! They bring the money. The DT steel shot spl. that is on GI right now is a deal....SXS Ohio

[Bob Jurewicz]

I agree with you Kenny and I believe a friend of mine from Canada bought that gun

[Brian Hornacek]

Well I am bringing this back since a was able to acquire a repro 12 ga 26" q1/q2, 28" IC/Mod, SST, beaver, pistol grip. I thought the chokes were interesting and the wood exceptional. It has carry wear on the bottom of the receiver but an all around great gun.

[Dean Romig]

Beautiful wood Brian, and a great all-purpose gun!

I do have my eye on one. Just trying to get the funds.

[George M. Purtill]

If you are trying to sell this gun it needs to be on a different thread and forum.

I'm still looking and Brian just bought one

[Donovan Kirkpatrick]

I have a 12 ga with 28" bbls choked IC/Mod that I combined with a BHE set OF bbs choked Q1/Q2 that I think is perfect for anything I want to do. If I add the cost of the gun(3900) plus what I think the bbls would sell for(2000), I get 5900. My A1 Special and my SSC are still unfired and I am not sure they would sell for what I paid. I like them and plan to keep them. I just do not think many younger folk are enamored with SxS guns. Was going to give my grandson an SKS 385 2 bbl set 20/28 ga., but he is not interested. Ticked me off.

[Scot Cardillo]

That’s a fantastic combination of chokes for the uplands Donovan.

Here’s a pretty nice 12ga choked Q1/Q2 if the configuration suits somebody here. I like the wood on this one, nice match between fore and butt.

I actually just looked at that gun today

[Scot Cardillo]

Well I hope I didn’t play spoiler if you’re working on a deal.

Gun fund is as barren as the saharie desert over here but if it wasn’t, I’d have no qualms over owning that gun whatsoever.

Sure are some nice 12’s coming to market as of late and it sure seems that the 12’s are inherently discounted. Some nice deals to be had lately.

[Kurt Sauers]

I've got several irons in the fire. That guns not one of them. A couple of repros and some English boxlocks. Its hard to pull the trigger ,but it sure is fun shopping

I feel your pain.... My granddaughters are the same way. I have offered to take them with me for grouse hunting or skeet but they're just not interested. It doesn't tick me off, but it hurts a little. But I still love them and I gently keep trying.

[Gary Laudermilch]

I looked at that gun last week and was tempted. If it had two triggers I am afraid I would be a bit lighter in the wallet.

My daughter's idea of a shotgun is a benelli vinci camo. I'm hoping to get her out pheasant hunting but she shows no interest in the uplands. I don't think she'd be able to look at a sxs and see its beauty. Maybe in time. I hunted a lot with autos and pumps before i discovered that the classic upland shotgun was the only way

[Kirk Potter]

I love the Reproductions, I'm still amazed at what you get for the price. Would like to pick up a NIB 12 sometime this year and a possibly a 20 as well. If funds weren't an issue I'd probably own more than I'd know what to do with.

[Kurt Sauers]

My problem is that I want to buy two guns before hunting season. Realistically I can only buy one. The problem is that I can't decide what to get first. The 2 barrel set would eliminate any chance of 2 guns but there is this Birmingham boxlock that appears to be made for me
.

[Greg Baehman]

There are a lot of folks that say that Birmingham boxlocks are wonderful handling guns that offer a tremendous value in today's market -- and they are probably right. But personally, I find them boring. :duck:

[Kurt Sauers]

If you ever get to wisconsin you're welcome to convince me of my folly. The parker today at cabelas i didn't much care for. The measurements were pretty good but it just didn't feel right. The two barrel set I'm looking at did. But its expensive. Ive seen some 20's that were pretty good hut a 12 comes first
.

[Scot Cardillo]

I have a gun that was tossed out of the ugly tree, from pretty high up. (Not a Repro)

It fits me wonderfully and I just can't seem to miss with that gun..I hate it when that happens :cuss:

[Kurt Sauers]

There aren'tmany sg originals around and all the 12's I've seen have been heavier than heck
