28ga Two Barrel Set

[David C Porter]

I would double check on the choke measurements. Listing says 26" barrel, Imp cyl= .003, Mod= .031--- 28" barrel, Mod= .020, Full= .040. These numbers seem way off, chokes may not have been measured acurately or they have been altered. Listing also says near new, not new

John, the difference is that in those days, I had $2695. Today, I don't have $10,780 handy. I am happy with my $2695 Repro and its rate of return.

Bill I agree. Staring at a safe deposit box ain't as much fun as fussing with these guns

[Big D]

I always enjoyed dealing with Bill, Cam and Neil

Here's one of the closeout advertisements:

The posted ad for $1995 included the $100 surcharge for single trigger because no double triggers were available at that point in single barrel sets. Other ads listed the one barrel sets at $1895. Note the $100 surcharge for a 12 gauge gun. Thanks for the great ad.

Would you please post one of those ads, Bill?

I grew up in NW OH and when I was home visiting family would always make a trip to Jaquea’s. On one of those trips I went through about 15 of those repros to pick out the two 20 gauges that went back to FL w/me. Wish I had been smart enough to buy DT/BT guns and a 28 gauge as well. Neal was very accommodating as I looked at the wood and selected the guns I wanted. Had I only known I should have bought 5 or 6 of them and held on to them!!! Live and learn. Brett

Brett, how about posting some pics showing us the wood in the “Let’s see some wood!” thread of those two 20ga. Repros you picked out at Jacqua’s? I’m sure many here would like to see them!

When Jim Tyrell was the manager at F.R.&G.C. he came to a skeet shoot at Piedmont Sportsman’s Club and brought along some stuff for sale . This was when the Repro’s first hit the market . He had a Repro 28 seems to me it was 26” IC/M or Q1/Q2 and a single trigger . Seems to me he was asking $2095 or $2195 . I fingered that gun quite a bit but wouldn’t bite . He also had a Winchester 23 Classic also in 28 gauge , I did bite for the Winchester seems to me I paid $1200 for the 23 .
