Opinions, please.

I am not sure a how a modern small gauge gun is any more a vintage shotgun then sub-gauge tubes would be. If you are shooting for fun and friendship, either would be ok. If the idea is to keep everything "vintage" then I would agree that the guns should be just that. I just like to shoot and have fun, and I really enjoy the old, far more classy in my opinion , than most of the modern synthetic, machine made, guns of today. There are good arguments on both sides of this discussion but I doubt if everyone will ever agree on every thing. JMHO Carvel

Forgive me, but that is an answer. It isn't an answer you like, but it is the answer and it is the factual reason for it. The LC Smith guys were opposed to Parker shooters using a repro because they perceived an advantage not available to Smith shooters because there are no smith repros. Their agreement to participate was contingent on reproductions not being allowed.

I don't know enough about repros to know if there would be such an advantage or not, but the fact remains that that is the reason for them not being allowed. I guess you could go to an LC forum and ask them what advantages they were worried about, but it was part of the agreement to the games.

Bill, there is no advantage to the Repos they are the same as the originals, not like the tricked out old Parkers. banghead:

Well, apparently the LC Smith people disagree with you, regardless that is the reason, they(the Smith shooters) didn't want people using repro parkers because there were no repro smiths. This may be a simple advantage of numbers/availability of quality shooting guns I don't know, but that is the factual reason.
