Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Thank the good Lord for Tom Skeuse....or there would be no affordable Parker 28gauge guns! I have a few of them now and have traded several. I like the combo sets with double triggers and beavertail for-ends. The guns can be whippy when changing from a heavy shotgun to a light one, but you take your time and the gun has the correct pull length it all comes together and works fine. RST loads are easy on the shoulder if you do not reload. Barrel length in not a big deal for me 26" or 28" but would prefer 28" most of the time for hunting. That said I did open one set of 28" barrels up to: .004/.013 I use it and it works! The factory 26" barrels choked Q1/Q2 are probably the best factory choke to have for rabbits, small birds and stocked roosters. The Parker repro at the 30 year mark has stood the test of time!, have a good resale track record and are still affordable in todays market...(-: SXS ohio

I have owned several Repo's in 28ga in varying configurations, straight grip (my favorite), PG and a two barrel set. All were fine guns for me and served their purpose well and the ONLY reason I don't have them any more is that I'm fortunate enough to have two Parker Bros 28's, a VHE straight grip 28 inch skeet and an upgraded AAHE with two sets of barrels.
IMHO a reproduction Parker 28 is one of the best buys in a 28ga shotgun in todays market.
