Default Galazan .410 bbls for 28 ga Reproductions

I couldn't find anything on Galazan's site about the .410 bbls they'll be selling in Sept. to fit on 28 ga Repro actions, so I called them. I asked them to weigh a set and then mount them on a 28 ga Repro and measure the gap between the bbls and forend. First they said they would, then when I called back they said there were none finished and I should call back in Sept. (which I will). Here's my question. Does it seem possible to make them weigh the same as the 28 ga bbls, and still fit the 28 ga forend wood with no gap? They assured me both of these would be true. I don't know how they can say that if they haven't even finished any yet . If they are wide enough to fit a 28 ga forend, especially a beavertail which is longer, wouldn't they have to be quite a bit heavier? What do you think?

I'd sure want to see a set fit to a gun before I bought them.

I don't see how it's possible. I'm with Dave on seeing a set fitted to a Repro before I laid my money down.

Default I have a original 410/28 with two forends

Parker reproductions always suplied a seperate for end for their 410 barrel set fitted to the 00 28gauge frames. All the guns I have seen for sale had 2 forends. My 410 set will take either forend and snap on O.K. but the 28 forend has 3/16 gap around the sides when in placed on the 410 set and does not look normal, to wide with a gap, Like a free floated barrel on a rifle. I do not think the galazan set can work properly, the barrels have to be the same size as the 28 set with 410 size bores or smaller 410 size barrels and have a small gap with the 28 for end. The 410/28 PG-Dt-SF set I own I have had for a year now....I figure the up cost for the 410 barrel set was 7500.00 in addition to the single barrel guns value. Im sure folks will not mind a small gap in the for end wood to save 5500.00 and still have a working 410 set of barrels. I hope thats the only issue/defect they may have. thanks all, Kenny Graft SXS ohio....(-: Im sure we will get some imput after their out.

Either a gap as Kenny describes or a good 16 oz. additional weight. It has to be one or the other . . . there's no gettin' by it.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'll ask them for details in a few weeks and post whatever I find out (if anything) here.

I don't care what bad points the new barrels have, I'm going to give them a try.

I would think they would refund your money only if they haven't been fit to a gun! I'd look into that before hand. I hope they turn out to be better quality than the last 16 ga. barrels, I would like to get a set too.

I would recomend that the buyer take his 28ga. along with them to CSM and see the .410 barrels in person prior to any hard fitting...Check for end fit and get the weight of the barrels....at that point a desision could be made to buy and have them fitted to the frame. That said who is going??? thanks, Kenny Graft SXS ohio
