The two barrel set is a curious thing to me, while I understand the thought behind them haveing two sets of barrels of different lengths and chokes allegedly makes the gun more usefull but how often does the second set get used?

I currently have four two barrel sets. The Hollywood gun a 16ga left the factory with two sets of vent rib barrels both 28 inches one set skt/skt the other M/F, A CHE 16 with two sets of Bernard ejector barresl the second set being in 12ga, An AAHE 28, Parker barrels IC/M the second set came from Purdy M/F and a GH with 28 and 32 inch damascuss barrels. I have had others sets that have found different homes.

The M/F set of barrels haven't been on the Hollywood gun 5 times in the 8 years I've had it, the 12ga barrels on the CHE have never been used since I've owned the gun, the Purdy barrles on the 28 have been used twice and the 32 inch damascuss bbls on the GH 16 are at Dale Edmonds so the jury is out on them. Maybe it's just me (it wouldn't be the first time ) but I just don't get the added value of a second set of barrels.
