I wish it had nicer wood. As far as reproductions go it's kind of bland.

Sure has condition; looks unused. And the wood isn't as fancy as some, but the grain is straight through the wrist, which is good; too many of the Repros that have curly fancy wood blow up at the wrist.

That is awfully high priced for a single barrel set and that Modified and full is worthless to most guys using a 28GA. But condition is certainly nice.

28 inch makes all the difference. This is a scarce variation not encumbered by a set of 26 inch barrels.

OK, I was wrong. It's still available. I have two in this scarce configuration and don't need another. However, it's been a while since such a gun has been available on the internet.

It may be stamped Mod and Full but experience with Repros tells us that measuring choke constriction and patterning will tell the REAL story.

Because of all the negative comments that have been made regarding 28ga. Repro M/F chokes being overly tight and thus useless, many have ground metal out their 28ga. Repro's choke area. I know of several that have done so in the name of making it into their dream gun, only to learn that the grinding of the metal didn't do what they were expecting it to do. These same dreamers eventually sold their guns. Moral of the story: If you're considering buying a 28ga. Repro w/28" bbls. stamped as having M/F chokes, measure them, know EXACTLY what you're buying as the gun may have been owned by one of the dreamers.

When I read Dean's comment, I took it to mean 'measure the chokes because they don't conform to the stamping'.
My last 28 Repro was stamped IC and Mod, but measured Mod and Full. |
