Empirical testimony on this thread would indicate that there ARE two different cases for 20 and 28 in interior dimensions, but I think there are minor differences on the outside also. This is either because Emmebi changed the exact size sometime during Repro production, or, maybe there is actually a difference in exterior dimensions between a 20 and a 28 case all through the production period. During the closeout period, cases were often sent weeks or months after the guns were shipped. This explains why hundreds of owners of 28 gauge Repros have cases with 20 gauge barrel channels and snap cap blocks. The sellers of the closeout guns probably felt that sending a case was better than sending no case. I got a perfectly fitted 2 barrel 28 gauge case from Guns Unlimited a short time after the gun arrived, but some were not so lucky. The smaller cover is probably for a slightly different case, either because of variations in Emmebi specs at different times, or maybe the tight covers are for a 28 gauge case and we are trying to fit it on a 20 gauge case. I have one of the tight covers and I cannot get it to fit on any case. I don't know whether the cases I have tried to fit my cover on are 28 or 20 gauge cases. The cover that I have that is tight was from fairly early production, but it is not a flannel case. I think the flannel cases were from very early prodution and are probably all 20 gauge covers. I think that many of us have probably never even seen the scarce flannel covers. By the way, although cases were promised and delivered during the closeout period, snap caps were not promised or delivered. I don't believe that Jaqua's or Guns Unlimited had snap caps to sell, but Don Shrum at Cape Outfitters did have some snap caps but sold them separately from the guns. I bought snap caps for my 28 gauge from Mrs. Shrum at the first PGCA meeting at Nashville. As I recall, they didn't advertise them in the gun media because supplies were a bit short. However, Mrs. Shrum had a few sets on her table at the show. They didn't last long. Over the next few years, more sets mysteriously appeared from different sources, including the ones sold on ebay not long ago for very attractive prices. I hope everyone took advantage.
