Why are these guns STILL for sale? Am I missing some huge issues? If I weren't up to my ears in 12 gauges I'd sure be looking hard at these.

My guess is because they look to have been used hard; not abused but really been out in the world and have scars over most of the surfaces. Also, by their measurements, both sets of barrels appear to have been cut. In watching Parker auctions, that seems to be the death knell on pricing. Finally, they are trying to sell two similar but unrelated guns as some sort of package or set. The average guy wanting to get into Parkers isn't likely to buy two similar well used guns at once. A serious collector frankly won'tbe interested in them, in all likelyhood. They mention single sales, but want you to contact them and make offers (which is against the site rules0. They would likely sell them quickly if they just posted two auctions.

As for the barrels being cut they are as stated in the Parker Serialization book 30 and 26 to be correct.

I'll be the odd man out here; I find those guns appealing as shooters. Provided everything is original and the barrels are not wacked. I enjoy well used but cared for guns. But like Art said, I would not find them appealing together. Tough sell as a package.

The guns are nice. And are priced appropriately. It is not any sort of screaming deal.
