Parker Reproduction 28ga. 2 BARREL SET, NEW/UNFIRED, SST, ENGLISH

Parker Reproductions are for those who love the idea of owning a modern technology gun that is distinctly Parker. Faithful to the original design, the workmanship is impeccable and the guns retain the dependability and handling characteristics so loved by owners of vintage Parkers. Made for a few short years, there are less than 2000 DHE 28ga. reproductions in existence. Most have been carried and used, as was their intent. This unfired example, sn28-04118 made around 1989 is absolutely new, and comes with the immaculate leather case, slip cover, and 28ga. chrome snap caps. It has only been assembled a few times by Vintage Firearms for display at gun shows, but never fired. In 1991 you could have bought this gun for $1995. Now all on the market exceed $5000 used, and in the high $6000's as new and as a factory two barrel set. There is a difference in value from "as new" to "new and unfired". Very few offered are truly unfired guns. This 2 barrel set represents a versatile Parker Reproduction that is an investment grade firearm that can be used and enjoyed for decades to come.

The 26" set of barrels are choked IC/M (.008/.018) and are absolutely new and without flaw including mirror bores, bore diameter of .550 right, .551 left, minimum barrel wall thickness 23 thou right, 21 thou left, 100% blue, no dents or marks, 2 3/4" chambers, tight ribs. The 28" set is new, 100% blue, 2 3/4" chambers, choked M/F (.018/.027), same bore diameter as 26", mirror bores, minimum barrel wall thickness 23 thou right, 22 thou left, no dents or dings, just new and unfired.

The action retains 99% factory case color (just case wear, not handling wear), clean sharp engraving, strong well timed ejectors, action tight with lever way right of center, perfect screws, crisp single selective trigger, trigger guard retains 100% blue, barrels are tight on breech face and hinge pin as a new gun should be, all in new, unfired condition.

The figure in the butt stock has considerably better figure than most reproduction DH Grade guns, 100% finish with no marks or dings, English style butt, splinter forearm, excellent checkering, 14 1/4" LOP to the skeleton butt plate, 2 1/4" drop at heel, 1 1/4" drop at comb (can be bent to your specs within 14 days of purchase for under $200), excellent wood to metal fit, a great looking set of wood!

Reproductions are affordable, high quality game guns. Compared to other modern double guns they are a "best value for the buck". A proven design, that unmistakable Parker action uniquely American in appearance, balanced nicely in hand and weighing only 5lbs. 9oz. with the 26", 5lbs. 11oz with the 28" barrels, they are a delight in the field or on the clays course. If you choose to keep the gun in its unfired condition, it will certainly gain significant value as an investment with few unfired examples in existence. Choose to use it and take good care, and it will hold its value MUCH better than any modern double of similar cost. Buy a new AyA for $5000, shoot it for a season, and it will sell for about 1/2 of what you paid. That won't happen with a Parker Reproduction.

There are more photos upon request. There is a 30 day mechanical warranty on this gun.
