28ga. Repro w/28" bbls. choked IMP. CYL/IMP. CYL

[Bill Murphy]

Field used, scratched up, worn case color Repros are not the most popular guns in this market at any reasonable price. Too many mint to new Repros out there at reasonable prices.

I need another 28ga. Repro like I need a hole-in-the-head. So I'm not interested at any price. Well, just about any price! But, tell me how many 28ga., SG, BT w/28" bbls. factory choked IC/IC Repros have you seen since their introduction?

[Dean Romig]

.......None!

So, I'm thinking it couldn't have been a very popular item. In this case, I don't think rarity equates to value.

Unless you collect "one of ones"

...which may someday be important in the world of Parker Repros. Or maybe it's important now?

Why then do so many owners of 28ga.28" M/F choked Repros incessantly complain about them and then go on to have metal ground out of them to supposedly make the gun more valuable for their needs?

I’m taking my 28 gauge with M/F chokes to
Jim Eyster in Ohio to open them up.

By Gawd Greg, you sure do get your back up easily.
I don't know how many people with 28" M&F choked barrels 'Grind' out metal, but unless they have 2bbl sets, they are generally pretty tight for upland use. Maybe quail, but certainly not for p'atridge. I have no idea if they think they're adding value, but they probably are adding usefulness.

FWIW, I have a Meriden 28" 28ga, that came (and letters) Cyl & Mod, and it's a dandy.

You sure do get your feathers ruffled up pretty quick there Edgar. Since you have said that you very rarely give a rats ass about alterations to a gun you own and that you're not overly concerned about exit value, maybe you oughta have some choke tubes installed in that Meriden 28" 28ga. of yours . . . it will add some usefulness. (dbl. wink!)

You’re a funny guy Greg. Do you think it will make it as useful as IC and IC?
