I know its high, shockingly high. Its a number I heard or read a number of times. It was based upon Rem doing the work here, not out sourced to Japan or Turkey or becoming a Repro Trojan. But it left no doubt in my mind about what a value the Repros are for a fine gun.
and a factor in why I bought one back then.
If that number is inaccurate, maybe somebody else who was around in the 90's with an interest in Parkers could add in.
But think about it. I tried to order a new base grade unengraved, black, forged, Mod 21 in the 80's at $10,000 and was told they could not sustain production and all production would be engraved high grades at close to 20k or above. Then even Winchester with their custom shop could not be cost effective and stopped production.
