Don't know Joe. I guess they want you to pre-order any of them.
For the 28g owners that want a perfect fitting forend and still worry that CSM will make a boat anchor of a barrel set, they should consider Briley tubes for about 1/3 the price. |

I have a set of original repro 410 barrels...26" they add 11oz over the 26" 28ga set. Its weight is 6lb 3oz with the 410-s in place. I would bet galazan barrels will be a tad over that...?? In the real world only 15 sets of original repro 410 sets are known to me, I have recorded the S.N. and descriptions of them. Most think aprox 30 sets exist, I think less.. maybe 20 sets? That said if Tony can make a set that works and looks good we should be excited!!! I hope they are perfectly fited and cosmeticly better than the 16ga sets they sold. I have a 16ga set that are great except at the dolls head. I could have the dolls head redone and fited better some day, then they would be exceptable. I have perchased in the past two years two sets of DHE repro's 410 guns that added 7000.00 each to the normal cost of a 28ga. gun! One set Im shooting and the other is mint and in my 401K account! A good set from Galazan at 2K would be a deal!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if they would need a small fix like my 16 set. thanks all Kenny Graft SXS ohio....(-:

Kenny,I really like the idea of a 6lb.3oz..410 How does the gun balance/handle with the .410 barrels in place?

Im very pleased with 410/28 combo...thats why I perchesed the 2nd 410 set. One has the splinter and the other is BTF. I would still love to have a original Parker 410....but..$$$$, maybe someone will feel sorry for me and will me one. The reason I like the Parker repro's so well is...mine all fit me the same! I perchased them all in the same configuration, lenth of pull,drop, ect. My 410/28, 20/16 and 12 gauge are all so close to the same I can grab anyone of them and not miss the first couple birds out due to gun fit. I don't have to get use to a different stock fit when I change guns and or gauge. Perfect!!!...(-:
As to the shooting...I was shocked how many sporting clay targets this little gun crushed!, even out to 30 -35 yards...WOW. The gun with the 410-s in place is slightly muzzle forward, this is good and helps me keep a controlled swing with a small light gun, its smooth and not wippy. It actually swings better than with the 28ga barrels. I can break clays quite well with this gun. The 410 gauge not my pick for hunting live game...we get so few chances to harvest game birds now days and not shooting due to out of range isues is not for me. If I walk and hunt hard and only get a couple flushes give me a 16 or 20 gauge! I will not feel cheeted if its to far out to shoot! I do hunt wrabbits with beagles on their tails with my little 410-s...(-: now thats fun and sport all in one! I don't care if the wrabbit wins either. I don't think Elmer Fud ever killed the wrabbit but he did a lot of shoot-in.... I think full lenth 410 inserts would be a good set up, it would add just the right amount of barrel weight to the 26" 28gauge barrel set. Put them in the 26" set and leave them there, swap over to your 28ga 28" M/F barrel set when shooting 28gauge shells. I think this would make a great 410/28 combo set! thanks all SXS ohio....(-: |
