The Parker Reproductions are very good guns. Thirty years ago I had a reproduction D grade 28ga two barrel set and loved it, and own a couple of others now. If you don’t “have” to own an original the reproduction will save you about $40,000 or so. Lol.

I have a 28 gauge Repro. I love it. I call it my “can’t miss” gun. For whatever reason, I just shoot it very well. The Repros—particularly in 28 gauge—are a great value. If you are patient, you might find one in the $5k to $6k range.

Craig, unless you just sent in your membership dues, you are a Forum Associate, not a PGCA Member.

Yes, just joined a few days ago and confirmed by John Dunkle. Perhaps he needs to flip it on the system. But I'm paid in full.

Yes, I have sent them in. He indicated that they process those on Friday's. So eventually the tag will flip. But my cc definitely has been charged the annual membership, I can vouge for that sir.

Hi Craig,

There is a member selling a 28 Gauge VH Parker on the members only section of this forum. Check it out. Looks to be a nice one.

For a green PGCA member, where might I see those 'for sale' opportunities on this forum?

Going after your first Parker and setting your sights on it being a D or C 28g. Wow! Be very careful. And prepare to write a large check. Educate yourself on the guns and know what you are buying. You could be setting yourself up to make a very expensive mistake.

Yes sir, that is very sage advice. I am patient, I am learning and will ask the right questions for sure. But, I don't necessarily think that you need to buy a low grade gun and work your way up.

But the 'sting' of making a mistake on a higher grade 28 is sooo painful and it won't go away because you will not recover your losses.
