Alton, I have never seen your gun, but I can personally guarantee they are not stamped "repo" anywhere on them.

Are you originally from Michigan?

Default 12 GA barrels

Repo is just an abbreviation for reproduction and they most defiantly do say Parker reproduction on them

Oh, I thought repo was an abbreviation for something that has been repossessed and Repro with a capital R was used an abbreviation for a Parker Reproduction.

Are you sure you're not originally from Michigan, or at least have some close relatives living there? Because, they too (some Michiganders); have shown it challenging in getting their abbreviations correct when discussing Parker Reproductions. (wink!)

+1. Greg's absolutely correct; "repro" is the abbreviation for reproduction, not "repo." He was just a smidge harsh in teasing you about Michigan. Don't take offense.

And by the way, the serial number will be underneath on the barrel flats where they rest on the action, next to o ne of the choke markings. It would be pretty unusual to find a set of 12 ga. Parker Repro. barrels with no serial number.
