I think it's got good wood and the forend clearly matches up with the buttstock. Some have cautioned about buying a Repro with a straight stock that has a lot of figure in the wrist but it appears from the pictures that the grain straightens out at the right place.

I have seen very few 28 ga Repros for sale in this configuration and I think the chances of finding a repro in this configuration with one set of 28" barrels will be very slim. Even a 2-barreled set in this configuration will be tough. I have a 2-barreled set with a straight stock, dt's and a BTFE and, honestly, I really don't notice much difference between the 26" and 28" barrels. I guess what I am saying is I would not let the 26" barrels keep me from buying the gun if my heart was set on this confoguration.
