Kenny,
You are correct, they planed to make 100 of each gauge but didn't build that many. My hunting partner has a BHE repro that he hunts with and the serial number is well above 7. I have been told that they did build 100 BHE's in both 12 and 20 gauge but the number of 28 and 410 gauge built are in the single numbers.
From comments made here on the forum and speaking with people who "may" know, I tabulated the production numbers that I put up on the repro section of our "Grades" page. If these aren't exact, I feel they are very close to the correct production numbers.
