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.
All good points & follow my first impressions as well.

The sporting clays gun runs the red flag the most with me. My first question would be that I wanted to see pictures of the choke tubes. They should be win-chokes from Winchester, also shouldn't the sporting clays specials have a beavertail? But with that said it is an interesting combo if it's an actual SCC. The 26" Q-1/Q-2 barrels for skeet and the longer 28" tubed barrels for sporting clays.

If I were interested in any of these I would make sure to have a long phone conversation with the seller and ask lots of questions.

Alaska is a long ways away with expensive shipping costs just to possibly find things not to your liking.
