Jay, All the Repros have the beavertail forend loop. At least all the ones I have handled...

Not at all Jay. My 28 gauge Repro has the beavertail forend loop and is a splinter gun. the forend fastener is the same for beavertail or splinter it is just that the forend lug and short bottom rib is one piece on a beavertail equipped gun.

Parker repro
What I have read thus far is some guns are interchangable in regards to splinter/beaver tail, some are not. At this point, my splinter will go on the beaver tail barrel (barrel #1 and seems to fit ok, except the latch will not close. Kind of like you find on Merkels where it can be a bear to get the splinter back on after cleaning. I have been told a competent gunsmith can resolve the issue with the two forends on the parker easily.

I suppose the trick would be finding a used SFE. or metal) that will fit a 00-frame.

Splinter / Beavertail
For what it's worth, I am just a guy with a camo cap. I am NOT a gunsmith or a Parker Reproduction expert. Years back I bought a 12 gauge Parker magnum that I use for waterfowl. It came with a splinter forend. For fit reasons I prefer a beavertail forend.
I managed to find an inletted blank BTFE and I fitted the splinter hardware into the new beavertail blank. With a little checkering and finishing it works just fine. I am sure that someone who has worked with forend conversions more can give you much better advice, but the conversion can be done. Just an FYI.... Steve Kleist Ely, MN |

I spent a bit of time examining the two sets of barrels/forends. I can see no difference in the barrel lugs, in terms of size/shape/location. the only difference I can see initially in the forends is the depth the latches are set into the wood. Otherwise, they appear to line up the same. Each forend will fit on the other barrel set while mounted on the receiver, but niether latch will close when mounted on the barrel it was not originally made for. As mentioned above, I suspect a well trained gunsmith could probably resolve the issue

Parker Repo 28 Value, 2 BBLs, Case/Cover
Any suggestions on the value of a Repo, 28 ga, two barrel set, with case and cover, maybe 98 to 99%, one slight ding in stock, two surface marks, perfect barrels, 26" BBL with IC/M, 28" BBL with M/F, case color shows slight wear, engraved under.
Any input would be great. Looking for some idea or range of reasonable value? Last edited by Ross Alvord; 01-17-2012 at 11:42 PM.. Reason: Correction |
