I am not aware of any factory two barrel two gauge sets other than the Reproduction 20/16 and as mentioned those barrels were from Kreighoff. The National Sporting Fraternity offered a limited number (1000) of these two barrel sets and the serial numbers matched.

Information is that a total of 500 16 GA Krieghoff barrels were obtained. Not all were fitted to create 20/16 sets. Some found their way to the aftermarket. Some may even have been destroyed.

I know for a fact that the NSFL commissioned 1000 16/20 sets for their members. Limited edition guns , books ect was one of the benefits of being a member. They might not have produced all of them but I bet they did. I remember when they came out I wanted one bad but just couldn't afford it.

Thanks for the additional info gentlemen
Are the Krieghoff barrels marked, "Winchester Parker Reproduction"..if not, what is a sure fire way to discern original bbls from CSMC supplied bbls? Have I read somewhere that the rib matting/engraving stops short of the dolls head on the CSMC bbls unlike the originals which are engraved typical of all Repros? |

They are marked in script on the left side of the barrel "Parker Reproduction" and stamped "Krieghoff Ulm" on the left barrel flat.

I have had a couple 20/16 sets over the years, with the Krieghoff barrels, fitted by Reagent, and numbered to the gun. They were marked just as Bob had mentioned earlier in the thread, with the Made in Germany on the right barrel. The ribs on the 16 ga. barrels were wider than the original 20 ga. barrels. The matting was a bit more course on the 16 set. The difference didn't bother me at all, and to be honest, I hadn't even noticed it until I read this thread...

I had recently seen a 20/16 set for sale and the 16's were marked on the Barrels , Made in Germany ,would these be correct ? I wasn't interested in the gun just wondered when I seen it if it was correct !

For those that were paying attention at the time - When did Galazan offer the 16ga bbls which were designed for the 20ga guns?
Early/mid 2000's or am I a decade off? |
