At the Dulles show this weekend I broke down and made a deal on a Parker repro. Have never been able to jump on the Parker band wagon previously. Just couldn't bring myself to pay the collector premium for a boxlock, however well built. This one, however, intrigued me. It was one of the 28", 3" chambered 12 bore "Steel Shot Specials." The gun seems to be built like a tank, with a lot of mass between the hands. Really look forward to giving it a work out in Sask. this fall on specks and mallards. Very cool gun.
