well, in 100 years the Parker reproduction will still be an identical reproduction of a classic shotgun made with "modern" dimensions and modern metalurgy. Most of the problems with the single trigger were easily resolved by a good cleaning. One knock on them is the "thin" case coloring, but case coloring on any gun is thin and easily worn off unless protected. The other knock was wood, though always beautiful, that was not up to the task and would split at the wrist.

In a 100 years, who knows if the RBL's will be considered a classic design. Right now, I consider the Parker reproduction to be a prettier gun and already a classic design.
