Another thing regarding wood that I've seen on Parker Repros...the dissimilarity is astounding.
I can't think of another line of guns that are stocked with timber that most would consider very good right thru' to exquisite. Some examples I would venture to describe as beautifully bizarre !!
My experience mainly lies with Winchesters out of the Olin-Kodensha factory and mid range berettas (Dt10s, eell and the like).With these and most other half decent production guns you have a fair idea what you''ll find when it comes to wood quality/figure and grain. With these Parkers, you just don't know what the heck the next gun is going to be 'wearing'.
Yes, I know it's all part of the mystique and that's one of the reasons I intend joining the owners club.
Can't wait.
Cheers.
