Joe, I agree with you. At least you got the seller to e-mail you back, I have yet to receive a response from the two e-mails I sent him. Despite the seller telling you that the pictured gun has 28" barrels, I don't believe it.

This seller sure has come up with some interesting and out-of-the-ordinary Repro listings. Let's take a look:

Here's a 28/.410 set. This gun is described as a SST gun, but the pics are of a DT gun. When was the last time you seen a set like this listed that did not include a separate forend for the .410 set of barrels? I never have.

Here's a Sporting Clays Classic, listed as a 2-bbl. set. Where are the choke tubes? When have you ever seen a SCC that was part of a 2-bbl. set? I never have.

Now, none of the above prove anything, but nonetheless; are suspicious in their listings and raises a little red flag--at least for me.
