Someone mentioned why the Parker 12 isn't more popular or costly. Like many makers, everyone had 12 gauge guns so they are very common and you could go in any local store and find 12 gauge shells but sometimes 20 and rarely 16 shells. Many people could afford a 12 gauge but did not have funds or need for other gauge guns when an old 12 would do anything a farmer, shopkeeper or hunter wanted, often taking deer or bear with buckshot out of a 12. But, they are still as good as always, just much more common.
