20/28 ga A-1 Special?

SXS OHIO · 11-12-2010, 08:40 PM

I saw that gun come up and wondered about that gauge combo? 28 ga. 00 frame barrels do not fite 0 frame guns? Never found any info from PR that they made them. Im sure theres a special story behind it all....

David, maybe you could find out for us who made the 28 gauge barrels for your friend's Repro. Of course, if this is a Petersen gun, anything is possible. A friend just bought a 16 gauge K-80 that belonged to Petersen. Apparently, Krieghoff built it.

It was a Peterson gun. I will try and find out some more about it. He got a great price on that gun!

Dave, I know it's a Repro (read my post again), that's why I posted here. Bill, I got confused since Repro SNs are written 20-138, not 20138. I'd love to know how they got the 28 ga bbls to fit the 0 frame. I like the engraving. Gournet perhaps?

It turns out the Patterson gun is a 28/28/ 410-original on a OOO frame, The barrels are marked OOOO but are OOO. Sure wish I had bid on that guy!

Actually the Repro .410 28 combos were made on the 00 frame, even though the .410 barrels were marked 0000.

Parker 000 frames should be called 0000 frames to be consistent. Has anyone actually measured the firing pin separation on reproduction guns?

Best Austin
