Another Parker Reproduction Question
 

How "rare" "Unusual" were original Parker Reproductions 28" barrels on a Repro gun be?? Instead of the usual 26" barrels? Thanks, Steve

They certainly weren’t common.
I had a 20 ga. Repro with 26” and 28” barrels. Not THAT’S uncommon, especially in view of the fact that both sets were Q-1 and Q-2.

Dean, it is my understanding that the only way to get 28 inch Q1/Q2 barrels was as part of the two-barrel set were both sets of barrels were choked Q1/Q2. I have a 20 ga with 28 inch Q1/Q2 barrels and it was originally a two-barrel set. The second set of barrels was not with the gun when i purchased it.

That's the most likely answer. Both the 26" and the 28" barrels were factory stamped Q1 and Q2. I am not aware of any other stand alone 28" 20 gauge barrels stamped Q1 & Q2.

Back when I was flipping repro's to generate funds for my gun habit, I found many two barrel sets but very few without being a two-barrel set, especially those with double triggers.

When I finally decided I wanted to find a non-two barrel set 28" 28ga for my keeper gun, it took me close to two years to find one the way I wanted it with straight grip, splinter, DT 28". I've now seen several of them over the years since then, but they don't come around very often.

28 gauge, 28", double trigger guns may be out there, but they aren't cheap. It isn't that they made so few, but they are mostly locked up in collections. 20 gauges in the same specs are hard to find also.
