Original or altered?

Okay gents, I see what you see, but I believe what we're seeing is actually ghosting of "LL" -- which is what's left from FULL and what this barrel was originally choked. Under the present Q1 stamps of the right barrel "MOD." was once present.

Has anyone seen a known original set of 28" barrels choked Q1/2? That may be the most significant clue to the possibility of a modification.

I had a twenty-gauge Repro with two sets of barrels, 26" and 28" and they were both choked Q1 & Q2.

The other Repro flats Greg has shown (not the subject gun) are 28 gauge and are 28" long.

Although we have previously discussed this consecutive numbered pair of 28-ga., 28" factory choked Q1/Q2 DHE Repros owned by a forum associate, I'll post pics of them again for the benefit of Gary and others that haven't seen them. These two guns are the only righteous 28-ga. 28" factory choked Q1/Q2 Repros that I've encountered in over a third of a century of seeking them out. There perhaps are a few more out there, but they are buried deep.

Thanks for posting those beautiful reproductions! I would be proud to own either. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
