Dean, no apologies whatsoever are needed, it's good to learn that original Parkers are capable of having soul, too. :cheers: (wink!)

Soul Emissions (wink!)

I just looked at my Repro yesterday. It has soul. It is everyone's dream Repro. 28 gauge, two barrel set, double triggers, beavertail, original snap caps and oil bottle, and now, two forends. Unfortunately, the long barrels are about useless with .039 of choke in the left barrel. I have a 28 gauge Arrizabalaga with identical chokes that is just as useless.

Bill, you should take up prarie dog shootin'

I think he should high-tail it down to his local library and enroll in their two minute intensive training course entitled "How to Post Pics on the Internet". :dh:

Greg, great idea. However, my lovely Repro would not be first in line for picture posting. I should probably look for another Repro with "Soul", but there are so many originals out there. Buying three great original keepers at one auction last month has kind of kept me out of the Repro business.

We're not fussy, you can start posting pics of whatever suits your fancy. :corn:

My Repros have that elusive soul. They are all light enough for game work and have very good swing dynamics. That is not the case with all of my original Parkers. Some are well balanced while others are somewhat ponderous. A #2 weight Trojan with 30" barrels comes to mind.

Bill,

We are not fussy. We will be happy to see any photos of any of your guns! I'll even come and shoot the photos at no charge.

Here is a little Repro soul. 16 gauge repro with Q1/Q2.
