New (to me) 28 gauge 2 barrel set

[Khanh Nguyen]

I just acquired this set on gunbroker
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=307226975
He kept dropping the price by $100 increments until I couldn't stand it anymore :rotf:

I generally don't use a beavertail but the general consensus here is that it is desirable since the 28 barrels are so small, we will see. My other 28g guns are a Beretta EELL, the old sig TR40 and a Spanish SXS. I use them for doves and quail in the Southwest.

[Mike Shepherd]

Congratulations! Neat gun and great buy! I sure like my Repro 28 with the 28" barrels for dove.

I know what you mean about him continuously lowering the price $100. Just so much a man can take before he gives in.

Best,

Mike

Very well bought! Congratulations!

Interesting to note that your barrel sets have the Q1/Q2 set of barrels stamped #1 between the barrel lugs and the M/F set stamped #2. Whereas, my 28-ga. 2-bbl. set are stamped on the bottom of the forend lug with the M/F set #1 and the Q1/Q2 set stamped #2.

Beautiful gun!!

[Bill Murphy]

A pretty astounding buy considering what these were selling for a few years ago. Congratulations.

[Bill Murphy]

This gentleman absolutely gave away a great 12 gauge and is selling a 20 gauge for a price anyone would pay. Get on it.

[Michael Murphy]

Khanh,
Great gun. You'll enjoy it I'm sure.

[Jay Gardner]

I have the same set, but with DT's. I don't mind the BTFE, as you said the barrels are quite small. That being said, I would like to have a SF as a second for end just in case.

[Khanh Nguyen]

Thanks all, I've been watching these for a while and thought it was a good buy. I also wouldn't mind a splinter foreend as well but beggars can't be choosers. I am still waiting for it to get to the FFL, it's like waiting for Christmas.

The beavertail on the 28s look just great in my opinion. Any other guage they are always too large. I think you will love it once you see it. Glad to see the sad economy has made another person happy. The investmnent gun buyers don't like whats happening though.

I think Parkers should follow gold... they're about the same as gold in my opinion.

[Khanh Nguyen]

Great we'll petition Obama and Geithner to initiate the new Parker backed US currency. Seriously, I don't buy guns for investment purposes, however, besides some farm land bought 10 years ago for hunting, my guns have appreciated more than my stock portfolio in the last ten years.

I think Parkers are better than gold. How many double eagles does it take to kill a grouse?

[Daryl Corona]

Let's see, gold is at $1750 or so per oz. that would make my VHE trap at 8lb 6oz worth about $234,500. I'll take it! Great idea Dean. I'm finally able to retire. Wohoo!

[Richard Flanders]

Good buy. You will come to REALLY like the beavertail on that gun. They look and feel very 'right' with them once in hand. You'll hardly notice it has a beavertail when you handle it. I can tell you I paid a lot more than that for my 2-bbl set 28.

[Richard Flanders]

The 20ga 2-bbl set he has is an NSFL set s/n 39. The wood is about as nice as you'll find on a Repro. That's the lowest s/n set I've seen aside from my 28ga set.

[Gerry Addison]

You will love this gun and the Q1 and Q2 chokes are perfect for upland birds. Don't think twice about the beavertail, it is perfect on the 28's. If only it had double triggers!
