28" IC/Mod? First 28 ga I've seen choked that way. I wonder if the chokes are original. |
It appears the seller has a tough time getting his descriptions accurate, check this description and then look at the gun.
http://www.gunsinternational.com/New...n_id=100169856 Maybe your linked gun is indeed a 28" IC/M, but maybe not . . . when you look at the lower left compartment of the case you can tell that the gun is resting in a case designed for a 26" gun. |

The safety 'switch' on a Repro is 7/8" long. It should be easy to figure using that measurement to determine the length of the barrels.

The 1st pic is a Repro case for a 26" gun, the 2nd pic is a Repro case for a 28" gun and the 3rd pic is the advertised and supposed 28" IC/M gun with the lower left compartment cropped out of the seller's original pic. Look at the shape/length dimension of the lower left storage compartment---you can easily see the difference. Given that the advertised gun's barrels fill up the length of the barrel compartment without a spacer block and the shape of the lower left storage compartment makes it obvious to me that it is a 26" gun. Before noticing this I began formulating a game plan on how I was going to sweet-talk Mrs. B into why I absolutely had to have this gun. As it now stands, I don't have to and she lucked out! |

Considering I've only been in the market for a Parker Repro. for 6 weeks or so, this 28 has perhaps the nicest chunk of walnut I've yet seen.
How does it stack up with you guys? Above average? (Shame I'm not into sub-gauges) |
I think it's got good wood and the forend clearly matches up with the buttstock. Some have cautioned about buying a Repro with a straight stock that has a lot of figure in the wrist but it appears from the pictures that the grain straightens out at the right place.
I have seen very few 28 ga Repros for sale in this configuration and I think the chances of finding a repro in this configuration with one set of 28" barrels will be very slim. Even a 2-barreled set in this configuration will be tough. I have a 2-barreled set with a straight stock, dt's and a BTFE and, honestly, I really don't notice much difference between the 26" and 28" barrels. I guess what I am saying is I would not let the 26" barrels keep me from buying the gun if my heart was set on this confoguration. |
I agree with Jay as to the difference (or lack thereof) between 26" and 28" barrels for shooting.
That is one of the better pieces of wood I've seen on a D grade Repro. |
