Just saw that this morning and had a nice chuckle.

[Dean Romig]

I would prefer Q1 & Q2 over the MOD/FULL set.

Check out all this sellers listings! He’s living in an alternative universe!

I contacted him via Guns International email a few months ago about a 32" VHE he had listed. Instead of emailing me back I received a phone call from him within minutes. The gun had an obvious pinned wrist and I wanted to ask him if he knew who did the fix. He claimed that he did not know the gun was pinned until I called!!

I wonder if that whitetail was shot behind a high fence?

[Bill Murphy]

A few years ago, a "benchmark set" (mint 28 gauge, 2 barrel set, beavertail, double triggers, straight grip) actually sold for $10,000 on gunbroker. I think I have a print of that sale in my files. However, that was the absolute top of the Repro market and everything after that sale returned to normal. Today, a gun like that is $7850 on guninternational, a much more reasonable price. The 28" 12 gauges are still out there, but a year from now, they will be gone too. The 28" twenties will be out there for awhile, but not forever. Are these great guns or what?

Exactly Edgar. I am never certain if I'm supposed to be looking at the gun or the "staging". I do look at a lot of his guns. He's got/had some eye candy in the past.

[Ken Hill]

He's willing to negotiate and it is "supposed to be fun." :)

[bobutler]

I bought a 20ga repro from the same guy a few weeks ago. Probably paid on the high side but it was a 28” gun with double triggers and nice wood. Turns out I had actually hunted with the guy in Texas years ago. He has a lot of guns for sale.

[J. Scott Hanes]

Attended a gun show in Dallas recently and there were at least 6 Repros for sale; all in the $4000-5000 range. I don't pay much attention to them so don't know the gauges, but no outlandish pricing and very little notice from attendees that I saw.

They are great guns! Repro's are what led me to Parker Shotguns. I stumbled into one accidentally! I have been searching and learning about Parkers ever since. My next original will be a 16 (unless one pops up or drops in my lap I can't pass up). I was extremely tempted by the last two Josh L. had for sale but I like the graded guns.

I have always wanted a 28 Gauge. Like most, at this point that was going to be out of reach for right now, again, unless it is a great deal.

I just sent a check out for one that popped up. Not a steal but 26" with Q1 Q2, exactly what I wanted. The Repro's are an affordable way into the 28 game.

[Jeff Peck]

I sure hope it sells for that !


:rotf::corn:

[Jeff Peck]

If this is a "rare" configuration, what other ones would be rare ?

28ga, straight stock, splinter, delete trigger skeet in/out and mod/imp cyl ?

[Dean Romig]

The same with double triggers might be more rare.

[Jeff Peck]

Damn auto correct

"Double trigger " became delete trigger

[Greg Baehman]

Personally, I don't believe there was a large percentage of Repro buyers back in the day, nor today for that matter, that prefer to buy a Repro configured with a PG, BT and double triggers. Sure there are some, but not a lot -- maybe he was referring to rarity in that sense. Or, if this gun does indeed have a 14 7/8" LOP it might be rare in the sense there probably weren't a lot of Repros ordered with a custom LOP.

I will say that I have a sweet little GHE 20 that has DT/BT w/pistol grip 26" that is just about the perfect upland bird gun.

If I didn't already have that same Repro in 28 gauge with Q1/Q2 chokes I'd certainly be looking for one.

Greg,

Why don't you think many people would want a DT, PG, and small beavertail option?

Ken

[allen newell]

I just wish the repros were made with a bit more drop.

[Daniel Carter]

Allen I had that drop problem with my repro 20 and after too many years hit upon lengthening the stock by using a slip on pad. The extra inch moved my cheek back enough to lower the drop just enough to give me the drop i needed. I do not like covering the skeleton butt but i now shoot it so much better.

[Greg Baehman]

Greg,

Why don't you think many people would want a DT, PG, and small beavertail option?

Ken
It's not that people don't want them. There are, of course, quite a few that do. But, based solely upon the frequency of this particular trifecta of configurations available (PG, BT, DT) that I've seen in more than 35 years of interest in Parker Reproductions, I have seen far fewer of them than other configurations. If the demand was there, don't you think that there would have been more of this configuration produced?

Perhaps others that have followed the Repro market over the decades may have a different opinion on the numbers produced in each of the various configurations available -- and that's okay, as we all have opinions.

[Brett Hoop]

I like the BTFE on the 28ga Reproduction guns better than any other Repro or original beavertail. Admittedly I am a splinter addict in all hunting guns, but Repro 28 guns with BT feel more like a semi BT.

I have been looking to purchase a double trigger capped grip 28ga Reproduction gun for a while now and just haven’t found the right one at the right number yet. I have only missed a few with mild haunting, and the cost to play has been going up.

[CraigThompson]

You've heard the old saying !

Everythings bigger in Texas

, well now that includes prices as well :rotf:

[Bobby Cash]

A few years ago this gentleman purchased a model 21 from me at what I believe was a good price.
12 gauge, 26” barrels, WS1/WS2
Within a few weeks it appears on his desk at twice the price.
If you don’t ask........

[Reggie Bishop]

It looks like he dropped the price a little. He must have been following this thread! Ha!

[Mike Koneski]

Just my thought regarding the double trigger option on the repro 28s. Since these are "modern" guns, most of today's shooters want single triggers whether selective or not. For various reasons the don't want a double trigger, and honestly, none of those reasons are valid if you really dig into them. BUT, that doesn't change the opinion of the majority of modern shooters.

[Dean Romig]

For Skeet and trap where you know exactly where your next target will be coming fron, and at what distance you’ll be taking it, plus the fact that your gun will be pre-mounted, it only makes sense that your gun has a single selective trigger. For sporting clays in its various forms, and for most hunting situations, I’ll take double triggers every single time for a much faster selection of choke or barrel.

[Bill Murphy]

Darn, I wanted to copy the $15,995.00 ad for my "price check" file. Oh well, I'll probably never sell my first Repro anyway. I'll probably never sell any of them. Those 28" double trigger guns were sure hard to pin down.
