I saw that GB auction and bid quite aways along but the wood really turned me off. I agree with Dean on the wood.The wood unfortunately can be eye catching or detracting.
I like all the PRs now. Until I found a 28 with two bbls and BTFE for my son to buy I didn't like them at all. Now I wish I had that gun. |

Rex, the two barrel 26" set you mention is clearly a sought after gun. It has all the features we want as well as being a "special order" gun because of the barrel length. It sold way too cheap, in my opinion.
My favorite combo is 28 gauge, straight grip, beavertail, double triggers, 26" IC & MOD, 28" MOD & FULL. The only possible improvement would be both sets in 28" and a set of .410s. My other dream Repro is the 28" IC & MOD 12 gauge double trigger gun that I purchased from a poster who advertised here. Not actually a special order gun, being mentioned in the final 1993 catalog, but quite rare. I could mention a dream 20 gauge, but they weigh as much as most 12s, so don't serve much purpose. |

I had the 20 most folks wanted and sold it. 28" full/mod, double triggers, straight stock and perfect fit and killer english walnut. Unfortunately it weighed 6 lb 12 ounces. Way too heavy for a 20 gauge. It went down the road as I'm a grouse/woodcock hunter. One of these days I'll find the right repro (28 gauge with DT and BT) at the right price. Until then I'll have to settle for all these Foxes in my safe.

Dean I thought that 28 was Kathy's gun? Perhaps you just miss typed

Good catch Rich!
The barrels (26" Q1 & Q2) and the BTFE are from Kathy's Repro but the back half (straight grip and bouble triggers) is mine. The rest of my Repro 28 is splinter forend and 26" barrels IC/MOD. Kathy's back half is double triggers and a pistol grip. It is fantastic to be able to swap parts around on these two great repros. Mine with the straight grip and Kathy's with the pistol grip. .

Grouse hunting is not for the faint of heart. Scott and anyone else here is welcome to come enjoy October with me in the Upper peninsula of Michigan chasing the King of the Uplands. This is fairly open cover but you can hardly see Daisy. If I remember correctly the bird got away...as usual.
