Well... There is still bad blood with some inside the Remington Society. But that is aside the point. Most anyone actually at Remington that was involved is long gone at this point.

The PGCA is not on "bad" terms with Remington Arms.

Let us just say that over time and with events that have taken place, and with the 'changing of the guard' at Remington, the PGCA is not on the same terms with Remington that it once enjoyed.

I think Remington/JP Morgan have bigger things to worry about. Understand JP Morgo retired $775 mil in debt to take a large stake in the company when they emerged from bankruptcy in May. Parker brand is in cryogenic stasis or better yet alive but on ice probably in their view. PGCA is definitely creating brand value for them at little to marginal expense to maintain copyrights and patents. If there is ever a revival of SXS interest and Old Reliable they will be grateful for this organization and its die hard followers. Guarantee if JP is calling shots and they could make money with Parker Brand, they would be your best new buddy. They are really scratching their heads right now along with Ruger and alot of gun companies.

I have an idea to get more interest in SXS's again. Increase the bag limit in migratory game birds but limit magazine size down from 3 to 2 rounds. Pigs will fly before that happens but it would work.

I would never be in favor of raising bag limits. Certainly not for something as trivial as restoring interest in SxS.

Looks like Canadian wood to me! LOL

Jeff the wood is actually original. It was so black that you could not make out any figure. This was the very first Parker I ever owned.the refinish of the wood was done locally.
The cost of tuition for “ The Introduction to Parkers 101” on this one was very high.Thats a whole other story I need to share sometime under a new posting.
