Let's celebrate them Repros!

The last picture didn't load with the other ones so here it is.

We're seeing some pretty scarce and seldom encountered Repros so far.

Dean's set, I have to believe is quite rare, as a matter of fact, I don't ever recall seeing an original same gauge 2-bbl. set, 26" & 28" bbls. with the same chokes before. Dean, do you prefer one barrel length over the other?

Karl's 28-ga. 2-bbl. set is unique with the Angelo Bee gold inlays, the addition of the custom beavertail forend and the sex change operation it underwent makes for a one-of-a-kind gun.

Marvin's 20-ga. A-1 Special---what a jewel!...is there a more beautiful A-1 Special in existance? I guess the only improvement Marvin could make to it would be to get those darn tight chokes opened up to make it more usable for the type of shooting he does. How about it Marv? (Just kidding!)

Kenny's 28/.410 bi-gauge set is a rare bird, too; as he has stated. Kenny would like to acquire every 28/.410 DT/PG set on the planet. Go, Kenny, Go!

In keeping with the somewhat scarce theme we have going so far, here's one of the 125 Sporting Clays Classic models produced. It came to me with an oil finish and rubber pad. I do like the oil finish, but would have preferred a skeleton buttplate. This gun was re-casecolored by John Gillette of Classic Guns, Inc.

What beautiful wood! I don't believe I've seen a Repro SC case with choke holders. Were they all like that?

Actually, I made the choke and wrench holder out of some scrap pine, bored the holes and glued some felt on.

Thanks for the compliment on the wood! Speaking of beautiful wood, how about treating us to the money side of your A-1's stock as well as that little 28 2-bbl. set of yours?

Greg, How about some closeups of the case colors?

Here you go Dave, when taking pics of this gun under artificial light the case colors appear to have a lot more straw color to them, these pics were taken under natural lighting.

Hey, you've got a Repro or two, don't you? How about you and others joining in on the fun? Come on boys, let's see 'em!

[Autumn Daze]

Thanks Greg, I really like those case colors. I just have plain jane 28 gauge Q1/Q2 gun nothing special. But I will take some picture a little later and post them up.

OK, here are a few more photos of each. Click on them and they'll expand for a better view.
BTW, both have the long 14 3/4" LOP which fit me much better than the shorter versions.

Thanks for the compliment on the guns Peter, but I can't take credit for the photos. Coincidentally, I bought both of these guns from Cabela's in Buda Texas and, at the time, they were using a top notch professional photographer. Their website was much better then than now IMO, and the gun manager at the Buda store really knew how to showcase his guns!
