Forgive me, but that is an answer. It isn't an answer you like, but it is the answer and it is the factual reason for it. The LC Smith guys were opposed to Parker shooters using a repro because they perceived an advantage not available to Smith shooters because there are no smith repros. Their agreement to participate was contingent on reproductions not being allowed.
I don't know enough about repros to know if there would be such an advantage or not, but the fact remains that that is the reason for them not being allowed. I guess you could go to an LC forum and ask them what advantages they were worried about, but it was part of the agreement to the games.
