A Parker Repro Collection

[Andy]

Very nice Kenny. I love my 28 PR so much I would consider a different caliber. I've read (on this forum??) that the 20 isn't scaled quite so elegantly as the 28. Next up hopefully soon is a "shooter" in 12g. Then build from there. Like I posted elsewhere, were it not for the PR, I would never have fallen into this Parker hole or looked at them. So far I like the hole I'm digging.

I have Repro's to blame for my Parker addiction as well. I was for the most part a Fox guy, but I also found repro's attractive and a good way to help build my Fox gatherings. Over the years I've flipped several repro's as a means to help build gun cash and keep a couple of decent repro's along the way.

Then a funny thing happened and I found myself slowly but surely thinning out my Foxes and filling the voids with original Parkers. Now when I open the safe it's filled with repro's and Parkers with only one lonely Sterlingworth survivor from the Fox days.

I guess in my case I could look at Repro's as a type of gateway drug leading to my Parker addiction.

I have to admit to a bit of naivety with this Parker thing. I don't know why it's happening, but it's all I think about. I don't even want to carry my other guns, which is a shame, I have some nice stuff. I spend my time reading about them, looking at photos, stalking other like minded people on this forum, and generally scratching my head wondering what the hell is happening to me. I went through this with Porsche's, wine, cameras, books and now this. I never pick cheap things and one is NEVER enough. And to make matters worse, I can't even tell you what I like about them. Add to that I really want a SBT and I don't even shoot trap but should probably take it up so I can get one someday. They look so freaking amazing. I think I need professional help : (
