Default Another Parker Reproduction Question

How "rare" "Unusual" were original Parker Reproductions 28" barrels on a Repro gun be?? Instead of the usual 26" barrels? Thanks, Steve

They certainly weren’t common.
I had a 20 ga. Repro with 26” and 28” barrels. Not THAT’S uncommon, especially in view of the fact that both sets were Q-1 and Q-2.

Dean, it is my understanding that the only way to get 28 inch Q1/Q2 barrels was as part of the two-barrel set were both sets of barrels were choked Q1/Q2. I have a 20 ga with 28 inch Q1/Q2 barrels and it was originally a two-barrel set. The second set of barrels was not with the gun when i purchased it.

That's the most likely answer. Both the 26" and the 28" barrels were factory stamped Q1 and Q2. I am not aware of any other stand alone 28" 20 gauge barrels stamped Q1 & Q2.
