Jack Skuese is often on here.
The Shooting Sportsman story is interesting. I recommend the chapter on the Parker Reproductions in The Parker Story. I have seen a few people have Bachelder do a stock refinish and charcoal case coloring to the Reproductions and I recommend that to people who want a look closer to that of the originals. I also think they are great guns and a bargain, particularly to those desiring a 28 ga. |

There is a heck of a lot of great material (interviews, reviews, and brochures) in Robin's Modern Parker Paper album http://parkerguns.org/forums/album.p...pictureid=9948. This is one of the reasons I said the article was nice, but it resurrected or reaffirmed what has already been put out in print.

Yes, the article rehashes some of the material already in print but the importance of the article is the author, David Trevallion. A well respected and authoritative individual to say the least. What does it hurt to add another piece of paper. I bet most of the Meriden gun collectors wish for more paper, not less.

What the article does nicely is summarize everything very well in one writing.

I have owned a half dozen reproductions over the years and currently have several original Parkers with SST. I have never had an issue with any of them doubling.
