Question on 12GA Chambers

[SXS OHIO]

Hi Gerry....You have a scarce set, but not all that uncommon. These were standard offerings that could be ordered. It makes for a nice set, the 28" ic/mod set with 3" chambers can be used with steel shot, then switch to upland game with the open chokes of Q1/Q2. If your gun sports double triggers that would make it very scarce and way harder to find. Parker Story lists that 1800 DHE 12ga. guns made. Most of the hard to find sets are in collections of the original buyers who had special ordered them. We are now seeing some scarce models coming available as the original owners are aging. I just acquired a double trigger 20ga. A1-special from a Ohio estate/widow. These guns came up on gun broker about two weeks ago at very fair prices. The A1 was one of three very hard to find guns that were special orders from the factory shipped to Jaques in Ohio. I am still looking for a BHE-20 or 28ga. with double triggers for my collection of PR guns. They are really a great gun for the money! Thanks all....... SXS ohio

I have one, 28" IC/Mod 3" chambers, SG/Splinter/DT, 14 3/4" LOP. No idea how many were made that way. I love it, although lately I've been using my 20 ga. Beretta 687 EELL Diamond Pigeon (DT 15" LOP by Rich Cole) for duck hunting. Although aesthetically I prefer SxS doubles, I shoot the Beretta O/U better than any other shotgun I own.
