How 'bout some 28s?!

[Researcher]

That 30-inch VH 28-gauge Cabela's Rodgers, AR, put up on GI today sure didn't last long!

Just some hard working 28s, nothing special.
A Grade 1 Ugartechea with 27 " IC/MOD and a Dickinson Estate with 30 in barrels and choke tubes. I carry the Ugartechea more than the Dickinson.

A gun that takes birds constantly is special.

And if you noticed, it certainly looked like someone had blued the frame.

We will see soon, it's at Hamburg store.

Well the good news is, if it is blued, that's a relatively in expensive fix based on what you paid for it. Otherwise, it looks like a pretty good gun. I already have two 30" 28 gauges, so that's the only reason I passed on it.

I tried to find the original listing but apparently it was taken down as soon as it sold. What were the specs? Asking price? SN? All items of interest for us 28 ga. fanatics!

Waiting for news…and pictures.

I can't remember all the specs but it listed for close to 7k, chambers reamed to 2 3/4", LOP 14". I called asking about the frame size but the gun had been sold from the AK store. For that price I'd bet it was on an O frame or there was something else wrong with it. Like Reggie said the gun might be a diamond in the rough or a money pit. Still looking for my 32" one too Reggie.

All Cabela's/Bass Pro knows is what they paid for it and what they're going to mark it up to sell it. Typically, they have NO understanding of anything about these vintage guns, except what others are pricing them at online. And if they can't find a comparable rate, they wing it. They don't know frame size from their shoe size or what factory butt plate should be on there from one that the last owner screwed on. For instance, last week I bought a 20 gauge side x side from them and when it arrived it was a 16 gauge. The employee turnover in these stores is off the charts.
