Now, why anyone would want a gun with 26 inch and 28 inch barrels, both choked the same, is beyond me. The gun came to me with only one barrel and in a single barrel Repo case. My guess is the original owner wanted the 28 inch Q1/Q2 setup, and ordered the two barrel set, then sold the 26 inch barrel to offset his cost. At any rate, I don't think there are a lot of 20 gaga 28inch barrels out there choked Q1/Q2. For me it is the perfect setup.

Don, you could take the guesswork out if you'd like to know if your gun was originally part of a 2-bbl. set by checking between the barrel lugs or on the bottom of the forend lug for the numbers 1 or 2 stamped. If no number, it is a single barrel set. Single 20ga. 28" Q1/Q2 guns do exist, I used to own one and so do several others.
Another rarity very seldom seen are 28ga. 28" Repros (single guns) factory choked Q1/Q2. Below are a couple of consecutive numbered such guns.
