Repro and ammo considerations.

Very Nice!!!!

Brought this to the top just in case someone has'nt seen Gman's 28 Ga. An absolute beauty.

I can't recall seeing a prettier D grade !

[Walt Kowalski]

Just gorgeous!
I have been looking at the 28's too...very tempting, but I need to excercise restraint until after tax time...

I don't suppose you'd share what it cost for that beauty??? (just for research purposes of course!)

The one I have been eyeing has just jumped $200 to $4500 in price, in one day...perhaps there's a spike in values happening now?

I might also add that I recently purchased my 20 gauge Reproduction for $3950 with 26" barrels DT BTFE and same chokes as yours...nice wood on mine as well!

The prices you mentioned I believe are real good given double triggers and high condition. I paid retail at $5K. High I know but there are none to even look at in my area and upon inspection was unfired without a speck of blemishes. No regrets and never looked back. Lots of single triggers out there and when i was looking and very few DT.
Our club opens soon and I plan to shoot it soon. Did not open it up but if the older lubricants have hardened that would not be a big deal to clean. I have dry fired some snap caps and all seems well and she ejects fine. It's a special gun to me and as I said on the forum before I think they are one of the best quality deals out there.
Whatever the price I sure as h&#% am glad I bought it before tax time this year or it wouldn't have happened - ouch.
When you do get one post some pics!

Haha...! That 28 is the one I've had my eyeball on...just down the road from me, actually! Looks like the seller is going up in price as it has been at auction for a starting price of $4300 for the first 10 days...now 200 more, and he upped the price after he had started the 2nd auction! Oh well...can't buy right now anyhow, but it is fun to look!

The 28-ga. gun in the 1st link above is advertised as having 26" barrels, but it actually has 28" barrels.

[Richard Flanders]

Gman: you did just fine on that gun at $5k in my opinion. It's a real beauty. Gorgeous grain in the wood but it looks like the wrist grain is not squirrely enough to be an issue. Very nice.

Are you going by the white tag or do you know the gun? Seems like that tag says 28" and it sure fills up the case nicely...I think you're right!
Good catch!

You'd think the owner of a gun shop would pay more attention to such an important detail...
