I suspect the book is right in that it left Meriden as a 20. If the barrels were original to 1903ish, they would have been marked on the rib, and Remington replacements frequently were not. It's a shame the 20 barrels aren't still with the gun. When it's all said and done, if you like the gun and can afford it, go for it and not worry about who or where it was re-barreled.
Finding another set of 0 frame barrels in 20 would be a heck of a lot easier than 28. How bout this, find a set of 16 #0 frame barrels too, and have a three gauge set.
