Not mine, but yet another outrageously figured stock on a Parker Reproduction added to this little library of wood. This 20ga. DHE, SG, SPL w/SST sold soon after listing on GI. Wouldn't you just love to find a Repro with wood like this? Make mine a 28ga. SG, SPL, DT with a 14 3/4" LOP -- a 2-bbl. set would make it even more perfect!

Can you imagine ordering one back then and opening the box to see this. Wow!

Beautiful piece of wood.

What did that one sell for?

I don't recall the exact price but I do remember the asking price was in the 7K range, north of 7 but less than 8.

Greg - I hope I find it before you do! But I prefer 14 1/4 so I'll need to cut the butt a bit.

My only repro had outstanding wood which is typical. If there is one area where the repro’s are better than the originals, this is it. Because of wood, I decided to refinish it with oil and re-do the checkering. I also redid the barrels using the slow rust blue process. It certainly didn’t need it but I felt batter about the gun with the old style finish. I don’t know how they did it in Japan but it certainly looks good. I’m just finicky about some things.

The gun certainly looked nice and I was going to include it in my grouse gun arsenal. But I hunted about a year with it and decided to sell the gun. That particular gun was too heavy to for a 20 bore, in my opinion and didn’t feel lively in my hands. I understand the 28 bores are jewels for handling and shooting.

Here’s my repro 20. Weighs 6lbs 4 oz.

I added a BHE 20GA from the Southern. 26" Ic/Mod, Straight Stock/Slinter, DT and 14 3/4" LOP. I only wish it had the wood of some of those shown here by others!!
