[quote=BIRDSHOOTER]as far as making money the parker repros that jaquas were offering (12-15)? years ago, both single and 2 barrel sets in smaller gauges. my dad was alive then and always had a few parker around, nothing fancy, couple of VHE's, a trojen, and a few foxes for good measure. he laughed at the repros and said they'ed never bring the price of original, i'm sure he's turning in his grave now. the reason i never bought one is i don't own a jap. gun and never will although there is some nice stuff is out there jeff p.s. the mod 23 win. were tempting! [/quote Amen to that Birdshooter- I will NEVER own or shoot any Jap or Russki or Chink made weapon (I have a "de-wat" now SKS that a NVA "left beind" for me, welded the gas piston assy and plugged the muzzle- hangs on the wall in my "gun den"-- ALL my firearms are US of A made- I will shoot B&P or Fiocchi shells, ow- Hornady, Federal and Remington- no Chink made Wolf 30-06 or 308 in my ammo safe either- and all my machinists tools and gauges in either the Gerstner or Kennedy tool boxes (thank you Grandpa) are 100% USA made-we have sold out our Country's pride in workmanship for a bigger "bottom line profit"--best bumper sticker I ever saw went like this "Shop at Wally_Mart- where the US buys all its cheap Chink-made crap"
