Rubber pad
We did not offer a rubber butt on the Repros. There were customers that put them on but we did not do that work

Dave, that gun is/was part of a 2-bbl. set. Wonder what became of the #1 set of bbls. and its case?

This one is not an original - I know because I installed it a few weeks ago. It is an old Noshoc pad a fellow sent to me for free. It has a couple of cracks in the baseplate at the heel so I had to drill and use a couple of extra screws. I'll use some black epoxy to fill the cracks, smooth it over and I'm sure it will pass muster pretty well.
I bought this extra Repro stock from Ralph English a while back to fit to Kathy's 28 ga. Repro skeet gun. The wood has swelled a bit in this wet New England weather these past couple of months but I'm sure I can shrink it enough before fitting it to the gun. |

Oh, by the way, I had the shield engraved with Kathy's initials just like Jessie Bishop's little 28 ga DHE was from her husband in 1908. I sent this photo of Jessie's to the engraver along with the Repro buttstock. I hope she likes it.

Thank you for the reply Richard. One of my five Repros, a SCC model has a Decelerator Sporting Clays pad installed--I certainly would have preferred that whomever previously owned it hadn't installed it, but it is what it is.
Additionally and on behalf of all Parker Reproduction owners...thank you very very much for bringing these wonderful guns to the marketplace! |

What an organization we must be to have Mr. Skeuse as a forum poster. Welcome to you, sir. I hope we don't run you off with questions.

And what might have happened to the other barrels??? Nonetheless, $2800 for a repro in decent shape, even though it is chopped, is maybe not such a bad deal if you want a nice field gun. Am I wrong?
It is interesting to watch how the saws and screw drivers are starting to take the same toll on the Reproductions that they have on the originals. Case in point, I recently sent back a Repro in the configuration that I have been looking for years and thought I had finally found. The gun was described as 98%. When it arrived I found a bent stock, cracked stock, sanded stock, buggered screws all around, filthy barrels, etc... messed with by a hack(s). So I'll keep looking... I really like owning and collecting the Repro.s |
