First one that I've seen, likely a special order.

I would rather have double triggers and condition. Oh, well.

This is probably the first factory IC/IC choking I've seen on 28ga-28" barrels. Does the choking add any extra value? I doubt it! Especially on a used gun with some wear issues.

Aggressively priced is being kind

I thought I was the only one who thought the price was over the top! Chokes can't add too much to the price.

I think most of us would agree that this particular gun is a rare bird. It's likely none of us here have ever encountered a 28ga. Repro w/28" bbls. factory choked IC/IC before. So in that light, to those that value rarity, to those that value originality, to those that simply have got to have the 28" barrel length the IC/IC factory chokes add value.

How much is the question? To those that do not value rarity and originality would perhaps only add the cost to relieve the customarily found M/F chokes to the value -- maybe $100 or so. To those that value rarity, originality and the 28" barrel length, it could be a whole lot more.

Having never seen or heard of another 28ga. 28" Repro factory choked IC/IC, I had some doubts. So I contacted the seller, who is not the owner and asked him to send me a pic of the barrel flats and also asked him to ask the owner how they arrived at the asking price. He got back to me with the pic and the owner's response of its 28" bbls., condition and rarity. The seller told me that all finishes are original, with not a mark on the stock, forend or metal.

What's the reason for having identical chokes in each barrel? Might as well shoot a jamomatic

I also asked for a better picture & for him to clean off the dried grease/rust/or dirt from the serial number area so I could better evaluate the stamping. He sent me the same picture with the crud on it. I emailed him back again asking for a better picture with the crud cleaned off. He never responded back. Also, if you look at picture #4 you can see chips of finish & wood missing where the buttstock bottom meets the receiver & the forearm meets the metal at the receiver end. Looking very closely the stamping on the right barrel & bluing discoloring doesn't look quite right. I have a feeling this was originally a mod choke & possible at the factory they may have removed the MOD stamp, opened up the barrel, & restamped IMP CYL. Before I'd consider buying I'd want to see this area cleaned up, chokes measured. The description this guy is giving seems a little embellished to me.
