Let's celebrate them Repros!

[Wild Skies]

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?

[Richard Skeuse]

I remember selling that Quilted stock and if I had the money then I would have bought it. Very nice to see it again

Thank you for saying and remembering that Mr. Skeuse. I purchased the gun about 4 years ago in used, but virtually new condition from a retired Doctor living in Tennessee. It is indeed a unique stock, kinda like vertical fiddleback under changing light conditions, but with a checkerboard effect instead.

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.

The butt of a DT/PG/BT/26" Q1/Q2 28 ga that my wife claimed for her own (not-quite-done oil refinish and checkering recut I did due to a broken stock; can you see the repair?), and a DT/SG/SPL/28" IC/Mod 12 ga (3"); my duck gun, with 14 3/4" LOP to boot !

Gotta keep Greg's great thread going.... Repro DHE 28 gauge 26" Q1/Q2 single trigger,pistol grip
