The authors "did their best" to find 28 gauge, 8 gauge, and high grade guns as they scanned the order books. However, they probably missed a few. The stock books were easier to negotiate, with more legible content. They probably didn't miss anything in the stock book entries. The main intent of the authors was to list stock book entries. The original PGCA research committee completed the copying of the order books, but did not compile any production totals.

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 .............

And then there is 150677 originally ordered as a two gauge (20/28) two-barrel set.

The A1Special I thought was a 20 GA. sent back for 28 GA. barrels was actually a 28 GA (180xxx) sent back to Remington for 410 barrels.
