Yes, it won't appeal to everyone, but it is $800 to a $1000 less than just a couple years ago for a similar 28" 20 gauge if my memory serves me right.

Very early P gun with "getting started" checkering on forend. Great wood in buttstock. Screws are either prototype period screws or have been messed with a bit. I would rather pay another $500 for a later gun when the checkerers were better trained and practiced and the screw mechanics had made and installed a few more screws. A great piece of Parker Repro history at a reasonable price and 28" barrels. The color of the early Emebbi case lining is not a trick of the camera. The color was really that ugly. Thanks to the Skeuses, the lining problem was corrected very early in production. But that wood is really nice.

Lately however I hear guys complaining about their mag 20's and most shoot the older and shorter shell. The belief is that the mag 20 spits out a longer, narrower and rougher pattern. Not to mention that it "barks" like mad. I own a new 870 that has a steel shot choke tube for the 3" steel shell and I may use it on geese. But usually I shoot the shorter shell. As the following of the 3" 20 mag wains will the 16 come back? I hope so. I shoot old 16's and like them. |

Now that you mention it Bill, the slots in screws on the floorplate are much wider than on later Repros and the checkering on the grip and buttplate insert as well is all less than 'professional' quality.

It has been a good time to buy....Few months back I bought a 20 two barrel set PG-DT-SF in its case, about 98% had one bump at the toe...minor and easy repair. It was on gun broker with a start bid of 3850.00....no one bid against me...(-: It was special with the 26" barrels being Q1/Q2 I did not have that barrel lenth-choke combination......SXS ohio

If I weren't interested in a lot of other projects, I would consider an underpriced 28" 20 gauge. However, were all alike in wanting "exactly" the configuration we want, regardless of the price. I got mine in the closeout and don't need another one.
