Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Parker Reproduction 20 DHE

Seem to hear many complaints about the PR single triggers their tendency to "double". I have owned a couple and had no problems with either single or DT myself. The ST doubling problem can usually be corrected by a smith familiar with the guns. More serious problem is lack of replacement parts.

I have a 28 Gauge Parker repro and I've been very pleased. It's choked full/mod and I'd like something a little more open but the barrels are too thin for Briley to convert to even thin walled tubes and it hasn't seemed to hurt my results on birds.

It's getting a bit beat up with all the field work but that's life when they're used.

Pugs,

You have your shotguns mixed up. Nice shotgun in the pic, but it's not a Parker Repo.

Parkers were and are boxlocks.

I did not realize that Parker or Parker Repro made sidelocks? You should be able to open the chokes up without using tubes, correct?

Doh! Photobucket mistake. All my other comments stand!

Nice one.

I could and thought about it but after five years of hunting with it I have to admit that the mod/full is working out fine. In fact, I'm astonished how well so I guess I'll keep it. It is getting a little beat up but such is the life of a gun that actually gets used.
