Joe, Kathy has one too - BTFE, PG, DT, 26" Q1 & Q2.

To be quite honest, I borrow her barrels and forend sometimes to put on my 28 ga. Repro for skeet and early grouse and woodcock. That picture above is with Kathy's barrels and forend. They are fully interchangable.... some others may not be but I think most Repros, within the same gauge, are.

Dean, that's the exact configuration of my wife's (mine ) too!
BT/PG/DT 26" Q1/Q2. Sweet gun! The best 28ga configuration they made, IMHO. Too bad they only made the 28" 28 ga. bbls. in Mod/Full.

In another recent post, I tried to explain that the more coveted versions of the Repro may not be at all rare, but just held in collections and not often put up for sale. 28" barrels are a good example of a selection that may have been common and made in large quantities when Repros were made, but have become scarce because of their recent popularity over 26" barrels. 28" single barrel sets have become almost rare in recent years. They weren't hard to find when they were in production. Two barrel sets are about the only way to obtain a 28" barrel gun today, but the surcharge is sometimes as high as $3000. The original surcharge was $900. The good news is that, last week, I saw a Repro in mint condition with great features sell for about $400 less than the original retail. No, I didn't buy it, because I am not fond of 26" barrels.
