[QUOTE=edgarspencer;124739We'll have to agree to disagree on the likability of repros. They may, and probably are good guns, but I have enough variety in my guns, and there's no void that only a repro can fill[/QUOTE]

With all due respect Edgar, and I am aware that everyone is entitled to their opinion, it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to come to a Parker Reproduction forum to tell everyone why you don't like Parker Reproductions .

[edgarspencer]

Actually, It's a sub-forum of the Parker Gun Collectors Assoc., not the Parker Reproduction Gun Collectors Assoc. (Please don't let that keep you from spending $40 and Joining the PGCA. You'll get 4 issues of the best collector oriented magazine there is, and access to the members only section. They sell repros there too)
Maybe if you're that intimidated by criticism, you ought to get the mods to put a sticky up that says it's only permissible to post if you Love repros.
Just to set the record straight, I never said I hated the gun, and in fact have mildly intimated the opposite. If you're unhappy that I'm not just gushing over them, I can't help you with that.
I recognize it would have made the gun somewhat more expensive had they done the case hardening in bone/leather/organic, as opposed to cyanide. Finding a sufficient quantity of American, or European walnut would have been difficult, and more expensive.
No, I'm not in love with the repro, like I am a Meriden gun. I don't hate it, and if I have enough years left, and wake up some morning unhappy that between the far left, and far right of my 15 Parkers, there is a gun missing, gauge, grade, whatever, I might fill it with a Repro. I've certainly done dumber things than that.

Who said you hated them...? And I'm certainly not intimidated by your criticisms. As I said, you're entitled to your opinion. I also never said you needed to "gush over them." I also didn't call this the "Parker Reproduction Gun Collectors Association," however, the part of the forum that you are reading right now is specifically about Parker Reproductions. I don't belong to the PGCA simply because I have no interest in original Parkers, and I'm not a "Collector." Sounds like you may be a bit overly sensitive ?

[Eldon Goddard]

I have to ask. Why do you not have interest in original parkers? I can not figure it out.

Thank you for your diagnosis, Dr. Bernfield

[C.O.B.]

Edgar Dr. COB offers the following RX for being overly sensitive. Take several shots of your favorite adult beverage and watch some OBamma speeches, your blood pressure will rise and some colour will appear in your face but thats ok. You won't be overly sensitive any more

[edgarspencer]

Unfortunately, Rich, under real doctors orders I can't crack the label on anything for another week. Yeah, it was a real exciting New Years Eve.
