They had actually produced a handful of prototype O/U competition style guns.

I handled one but was somewhat unimpressed. They planned three or four grades, some highly embellished and some considerably plainer.

This is the first I've heard of this.. I was thinking something similar would end up happening now, with Remington being bankrupt.. Just slap the Parker name on some cheap foreign made SXS. I seem to remember Marlin doing this a few years back with LC Smith.
