Default Kevins Guns

Probably not many gun websites get by this forum without much scrutiny. Kevins has a great shop down in Tallahassee and Thomasville. They also have a diverse assembly of guns for sale. What caught my eye was supposedly 1 or 4 Parker 28 ga skeet guns for sale, just a smidge under $50k. He has some healthy prices on his guns and some I thought were more reasonable, like a Parker reproduction.

Anyway if not familiar with their here is a link, you might find it interesting.

Yeah!! But hey some folks a few weeks ago were worried about value of guns. If he is getting any of those prices and I believe he is then hey, all is not lost. Like I said he has a Parker Repro 20 ga dhe at a little over $6k, that is what I was looking at.

BTW that Parker 28 gauge is a sweet looking gun, but.....

Their prices are nuts but it appears to be a pretty nice business. Kevins sells far more than firearms.

I bought a 28ga from them about six yrs ago. Had very poor fit & finish once it arrived. Although they ultimately accepted the gun back, let’s just say I got the hard sell for something else entirely and the return was not what I would have called gracious or, accommodating. I paid their inflated asking price btw.

I cannot stand overly aggressive salesmanship so, take my experience fwiw.

For what the new-in the white A1 2 barrel sets go for, you could not engrave and finish one for too much less.

The couple of times I have called them, they have not been very customer friendly.

You can buy a bunch of 20 ga repros for a whole lot of money less than what they are asking. Their prices are so ridiculous I quit looking at their ads.

I walk by their tables and just shake my head in disbelief at their asking prices.

Retailers have to start someplace and in today's market they need to start high in preparation for the low-ball offers.
