Parkers,at the end of the Rainbow, DVD shows a 20GA. A1 Special that went back for 28GA. barrels and additional fore end. I dare say that that wasn't the only 20GA. sent back to the factory for 28GA barrels.
Indeed - there is an AHE 20/28 gauge that was exhaustively documented as having had the 0-frame 28 ga. barrels added, probably by Remington, immediately after WW II.
Kevin do you know if that 20/28 might have started out as a 16ga Damascus barreled gun?

Yes Rich, that is the gun. Kevin and Babe D. went over the whole gun and wrote a report of their thoughts on the gun. It started it's life as a 16 ga Damascus 30" barrels with ejectors and it was sent back to Remington just after the war to be fitted with "modern" 20 and 28 ga barrels. Wish I could find a set of 16 ga Damascus barrels .............
