Default Repro 20 gauge values

It seems to me of late that Parker 20 gauge reproduction values have fallen. In this site in the last day one very nice one sold for $4250. That used to be the 12 gauge reproduction values? Am I wrong on this? Guns listed the $5k range just are not selling. And you have to get in the low $4k range to move the gun.

Yup, I agree. 20 gauge Repros are not popular, especially 26" and single trigger guns. Strike while the iron is cold. 12 gauge Repros, double trigger and 28" or two barrel sets are hot. 26" single trigger 12 gauges are as cold as the same combinations in 20 gauge. Well, you asked.

I actually was the seller of the 20 gauge in question and, yes, I am really surprised at the lack of interest and prices. What are thoughts on 28 gauges at the moment? I see a wide range of prices online for single barrel set, single trigger, 26" guns. Anywhere from $7K to over 10K! None of them ever seem to move. One was listed here for below $7K and I don't think it has sold.

Prices for 28 gauge Repros depend on many factors; number of triggers, grip type, barrel length, chokes, forend style, wood figure, amount of remaining case color, alterations to any of these features may affect perceived value either positively or negatively… but I think they’ll always command a higher value than the 20 gauge Repros.

$4250 (with no commissions/fees) seems like a good get for a 20 gauge Repro.

As I recall, significantly more 20s were made than 28s, and the 28s are going for $5-$6k.

Asking prices are just that: asking prices.

Ive sold more Parker Repros in all configurations in the last year than I have in the last 3 years combined. I am not in any way bragging, I am saying the market for them is robust through and through.

I think the 28" inch 20 gauge repro guns make a wonderful clays gun because they imo are both heavy and muzzle heavy. If I still had one I'd shoot it a lot at 5 stand.

PS. I owned one of the above 20 years ago with 28" barrels with double triggers and a straight stock. It weighed 6 lb 12 oz. It was rather heavy for use as a grouse gun imo.
