Kevins Guns

[Southpaw]

Probably not many gun websites get by this forum without much scrutiny. Kevins has a great shop down in Tallahassee and Thomasville. They also have a diverse assembly of guns for sale. What caught my eye was supposedly 1 or 4 Parker 28 ga skeet guns for sale, just a smidge under $50k. He has some healthy prices on his guns and some I thought were more reasonable, like a Parker reproduction.

Anyway if not familiar with their here is a link, you might find it interesting.

Yeah!! But hey some folks a few weeks ago were worried about value of guns. If he is getting any of those prices and I believe he is then hey, all is not lost. Like I said he has a Parker Repro 20 ga dhe at a little over $6k, that is what I was looking at.

BTW that Parker 28 gauge is a sweet looking gun, but.....

For what the new-in the white A1 2 barrel sets go for, you could not engrave and finish one for too much less.

Their prices are nuts but it appears to be a pretty nice business. Kevins sells far more than firearms.

I bought a 28ga from them about six yrs ago. Had very poor fit & finish once it arrived. Although they ultimately accepted the gun back, let’s just say I got the hard sell for something else entirely and the return was not what I would have called gracious or, accommodating. I paid their inflated asking price btw.

I cannot stand overly aggressive salesmanship so, take my experience fwiw.

The couple of times I have called them, they have not been very customer friendly.

You can buy a bunch of 20 ga repros for a whole lot of money less than what they are asking. Their prices are so ridiculous I quit looking at their ads.

I walk by their tables and just shake my head in disbelief at their asking prices.

I agree. In the past I never even offered a courtesy look at their tables. Having said that I have recently made 2 offers on Parkers I acquired that have just about convinced me that in the future I should probably just view the price tag as ornamental and make an offer if so desired based upon the merits of the gun in question as I see them. I was discussing a gun at the recent Vegas show with a prominent member of the Parker community when he commented "asking prices mean nothing here", he was right and I will thank him the next time I see him.
