No kidding, Steve. The case was a little rough, but the gun was great, and at a terrific price, relative to the current market.

So if the sale price was low, in your opinion what would have been a sale price closer to the relative market value?

I dunno I think that price was in the fair realm by a few hundred dollars . Actually I think 4k is fair but you gotta take into consideration I’m not a big fan of the Repros .

Mike, I am by no means an expert on this but I think that is a $6K gun any day of the week, but I might be wrong.

I had that on my watch list but did not pay attention to the end time.

Ending at 4:21 A.M. Eastern left a couple grand on the table and scored someone a sweet little 28.

You will probably see this one for sale again. The buyer has 613 transactions on GB. He is probably a dealer. The going rate on similar 28 repros is $5500 to #6500. It will show up at a show or on Gunsinternational.

The astounding wood apparently does not make up for the detractors, single trigger and 26" barrels. I guess everyone who ever wanted one already has one. I am a fan, by the way. Mr. Skeuse can overnight at my house any time.

Good call John. It has resurfaced priced at POR.

Like the Corvette, the Parker Repros represent an unbeatable value, particularly in the smallbores, representing a product that by any measure would be orders of magnitude more expensive if bespoke or even special ordered to customer specifications.
