"The Boys of Cabelas", God bless em. Just so you know, in the state of Washington and possibly other states as well, they have a pawn law that requires all guns traded in to go through a 30 day quarantine period before they can be sold to determine if they have been stolen, so here it's real.

About 6 years ago I saw a MINT Parker GHE 20 gauge on their website and they called it a reproduction. Of course, as we all know, there was never a GHE reproduction. So I called them and asked the sales guy what it said on the top of the barrels. He said, just as I had suspected, it had no writing of any sort on the top of the barrels or top of the rib. **** REMINGTON era Parker!!

So I gave him my credit card and the gun arrived a few days later. I bought it on the low end of what a good used reproduction would have gone for in those days. My gunsmith said he had never seen such a crisp and clean Parker in all the years he had been in business.

It's not always a bad thing to be involved with "The Boys of Cabelas".
