Which 20ga to get?

I believe all parker reproduction parts were destroyed in a flood. So repair could be a problem in the future. Just a thought.

If it were my choice I’d buy the original . But I’d also buy some sort of beater gun for him to use a bit before I put the little Parker in his hands .

Actually not, Repro's can be fitted with original parts as they were exact copies.

The Reproduction that led me down the Parker rabbit hole I found in pieces. As in, we discovered the barrels first then the stock and forend. An exhaustive search finally uncovered the receiver and all of its internals in a gallon bag on a table full of gun parts. When inventory was taken it revealed a missing hammer. This was located from an original and now this fine shotgun has been responsible for many pounds of turkey jerky!.........And an infatuation with Parkers old and new.

The only parts that I’ve ever heard of breaking on a Repro (besides broken stock wrists) are the ejector hammer in the forend and Joe Breda makes perfect replacements.
