I have both original Parkers and Repros. I grew up shooting here in New England my grandfathers 16 ga vh on grouse and woodcock. When I hunt with that old 16 (circa 1927), I often find myself reflecting on my grandfather and Dad hunting with it.
Having said all that, my Repros ,all 20 ga, are very special to me and fun to handle and shoot..My grandson s will probably re.ember their grandfather hunting with it as they take it to the field or range. What goes around, comes around. I should add that my Repros are straight grips. My original Parkers are all pistol grips. I do like the straight grips though.
