Parker Reproduction 2 barrel set forends

[Tom Flanigan]

I had one 20 bore Repro but sold it. In the past I had mistakenly misjudged all Repro’s based on this gun. The checkering had many crooked lines and runovers. I had to take it all down and re-checker it with mullered borders. The finish was poly which was a bear to remove. I redid the barrels also, not that the gun needed it, but I wanted to have the old rust blue process.

I sold it soon after because it had a single trigger and, in my opinion, was too heavy for a 20 bore. It just didn't feel right to me.

My 28 gauge two barrel set has two beavertails, but one of the beavertails came from a CHE or BHE original 28 gauge, I forget which. It fits as well as the Repro forend, and looks better. I tried to contact the owner of the original Parker, but he would not respond to my efforts. Oh, well.
