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.

Back when I was flipping repro's to generate funds for my gun habit, I found many two barrel sets but very few without being a two-barrel set, especially those with double triggers.
When I finally decided I wanted to find a non-two barrel set 28" 28ga for my keeper gun, it took me close to two years to find one the way I wanted it with straight grip, splinter, DT 28". I've now seen several of them over the years since then, but they don't come around very often. |

28 gauge, 28", double trigger guns may be out there, but they aren't cheap. It isn't that they made so few, but they are mostly locked up in collections. 20 gauges in the same specs are hard to find also.

It was my understanding that the majority of 28" barrels in 20 and 28 gauge were choked modified and full. When I worked at Jaegers I ordered several 28" Q1 and Q2 barreled 28ga guns for customers. I was told at that time that there was one run of 50 guns choked that way. I know of no way to verify that number. The main point is that a few do exist.

My opinion is still that 28 gauge 28" guns are hard to find because they are locked up in collections by owners that don't want to let them go. 20s in that configuration, scarce for the same reason.

In 1987 I special ordered my 20gauge 2 barrel set directly from Skeuse and asked for special choking of the 28" barrel of IC/Lt. Full, and it is duly marked on the flats in the same stamp font as original.
