The case will fit a 20ga, 26" barrel, but snap cap holes will be for a 28ga.

Are you sure about that?

The two cases I have that are original to both of my 28ga. Repros, one a 2-bbl. case the other for a single bbl. gun, 20ga. snap caps fit snuggly and 28ga. snap caps fit loosely. I see no difference between Emmebi cases made for 28 or 20ga. Repros - other than the possibility of differing lengths to accommodate 26" or 28" barrels.

No they will not. Not even with a mallet. The 20ga are too large for my 28ga holes. Over the years I've had 4 20 ga & 28ga sets & they were all the same. Maybe you have something different, or you're 28ga case was ment for a 20ga case

Well, I’ll be.

I’ve got the two cases that I mentioned above for my twenty-eights. I also have two cases that were furnished for my twenties, one for a single 26” gun, the other for a 2-bbl. set. In each of the four cases, the snap caps fit the same — 28’s are loose and 20’s are snug.

Who knows how the cases were ordered by PRS back in the 80's and how they were mated to the guns. 3 of the sets I've had were in origin boxs with gun in Parker box & case in separate box & both in a sleeve & then in final shipping box. So, who knows how the pair were matted up or the snap caps configuration on the cases were supplied. All I can say is what I have & 20ga snap caps will not fit in my 28ga cases.
