Yikes! Another winner. Not even a Parker too.

For truth in advertising, check out this line from a description of an LC Smith 20 gauge:

Don't get too excited just yet. This thing is a train wreck. Stock is messed up, barrels are pitted, looks like someone tried to fix the outside, ejectors however, with all the parts, it's just kinda of a parts gun, with possibilities I guess, so the first $450.00 gets it.

Just no comment

Good grief

There must have been a lot of stagecoaches running around out there

$5K for a gun with 20" bbls!!!! Now that is funny!! :rotf:

We need to update the Parker Story and include the Stagecoach Model......I just checked and it's doesn't have a chapter about this special model..........

I guess there was a time when there just wasn't a whole lot of black guns running around but someone wanted protection of home, there small shop, etc. They are not thinking about the future value and they just did not need a long barreled sxs. Most people think in the here and now and at that time they were convinced cutting off the barrell to make it less wieldly and open up the pattern for close range was more important that chasing birds with that gun anymore.

Heck probably a lot of these guns that are sawed off might of already had broken or damaged stocks and the sawing off the barrel was just an adaptive reuse since it might only need to be shot one more time and they were not to worried about that stock and gun value. They were probably relatively cheap, plentiful, reliable and very effective, heck there was even a time when it was illegal to own a shotgun that had less than x inch of barrels because so effective and relatively easy to conceal and shoot.

Most people need training and practice to shoot a hand gun reasonably well, not so much with a sawed off shotgun. I think with advent of more black guns for self defense the old saw off shotguns are now coming out and since they say Parker on them they think there is a huge premium and that we will overlook the damage and adaptive reuse to get the brand.

Here is a question for home defense, which gun would you reach for?

No one in the house, or near my house for that matter but Robin and I. Sig P220 .45, and aan AR Carbine in .300 Blackout. I’m chuckling as I write this, but on Robins side of the bed, (I travel a lot) is a savage fox 12 gauge BE with barrels cut to 18 1/8th!, with the stock cut to pistol, and a 30 rd .22 magnum automatic, the make of which escapes me at the moment.

However, should I ever decide to place the fox on GunBroker, I suppose I should describe it as the “gangbanger” model and ask a couple of grand for it!

I'd like to find a app for my phone which represents the slam closing of a pump shotgun
