Questions about Reproductions

[Dean Romig]

I have a 20 ga. Repro with 26" & 28" barrels both choked Q1 & Q2 and both sets have 3" chambers.

Not all of the 28" 12 ga guns have 3" chambers. All the Steel Shot Specials do, some of the Sporting Clays Classics do, and some of the regulars 12s do. As for 20 ga guns, some do some don't. I've had very few problems with the ones I've owned. I did have a sticky safety recently on a 20ga thats seen 19 straight years in the field and never been taken apart for cleaning. I had a 12 ga double once on the first shot after I had taken it apart, cleaned it, and put it back together Its never done that again since. All in all very few problems - great guns.

And how many of those have you seen? I bet you aren't offering to sell it to Byron ! The vast majority of 26" guns were 2 3/4" Q1/Q2 or IC/Mod, and nearly all 28" guns were 3" Mod/Full. There are exceptions (like my 12 ga 28", 3" IC/Mod), but they are hard to find.

How true. If Galazan offered 28 ga barrels instead of the .410's I'd be sorely tempted to order 28 inchers with open chokes.
