I have always thought that the lug on BTFE barrels was different from the lug on barrels fitted with a SFE. I hope someone will tell me that I'm wrong because this set has me thinking about having a SFE made for my 28 ga BTFE 2-barrel set.

Gotta try. I'd have to turn in my kilt if I just rolled over without at least asking. They tell me the latin in my family crest translates "Never Pay Retail" I was pretty sure it said "Buy High, Sell Low"

Jay, All the Repros have the beavertail forend loop. At least all the ones I have handled...

so I would have to find BTFE metal and then have it re-enginered to fit? (Thinking of the long-bolt).

Not at all Jay. My 28 gauge Repro has the beavertail forend loop and is a splinter gun. the forend fastener is the same for beavertail or splinter it is just that the forend lug and short bottom rib is one piece on a beavertail equipped gun.

Default Parker repro

What I have read thus far is some guns are interchangable in regards to splinter/beaver tail, some are not. At this point, my splinter will go on the beaver tail barrel (barrel #1 and seems to fit ok, except the latch will not close. Kind of like you find on Merkels where it can be a bear to get the splinter back on after cleaning. I have been told a competent gunsmith can resolve the issue with the two forends on the parker easily.

I suppose the trick would be finding a used SFE. or metal) that will fit a 00-frame.

Default Splinter / Beavertail

For what it's worth, I am just a guy with a camo cap. I am NOT a gunsmith or a Parker Reproduction expert. Years back I bought a 12 gauge Parker magnum that I use for waterfowl. It came with a splinter forend. For fit reasons I prefer a beavertail forend.
I managed to find an inletted blank BTFE and I fitted the splinter hardware into the new beavertail blank. With a little checkering and finishing it works just fine.
I am sure that someone who has worked with forend conversions more can give you much better advice, but the conversion can be done.
Just an FYI....

I spent a bit of time examining the two sets of barrels/forends. I can see no difference in the barrel lugs, in terms of size/shape/location. the only difference I can see initially in the forends is the depth the latches are set into the wood. Otherwise, they appear to line up the same. Each forend will fit on the other barrel set while mounted on the receiver, but niether latch will close when mounted on the barrel it was not originally made for. As mentioned above, I suspect a well trained gunsmith could probably resolve the issue

Default Parker Repo 28 Value, 2 BBLs, Case/Cover

Any suggestions on the value of a Repo, 28 ga, two barrel set, with case and cover, maybe 98 to 99%, one slight ding in stock, two surface marks, perfect barrels, 26" BBL with IC/M, 28" BBL with M/F, case color shows slight wear, engraved under.

Any input would be great. Looking for some idea or range of reasonable value?
