After you put its 410 mate up for sale I dug in the back of one of the safes and found mine that is its twin. I had forgot how much I liked that little gun and thought for Christmas I just might put in a few bids on the 28 so I'd have a matching set. Why, oh why did someone put a poly on that cute little gun? There is nothing really wrong with the poly and adding just a little weight to the end of the barrel can improve the swing, but it wouldn't match my 410. Oh well, I should spend the money on ammo anyway or maybe something for the boss cause she deserves it.
I saw what the 410 went for and thought it did pretty good. Bob
What is really sad is that about 15 years ago at the Grand American I found a 28ga Winchester mod 12 skeet on vendors row. Yupp, you guessed it, someone had cut the barrel and put on a poly.😡 Those that like/collect mod 12s know how hard it is to find a good 28ga skeet version. I have given up on owning a mod 12 28ga because the real ones, not cobbled together fakes, now cost a small fortune. I've got 20s, 12s and even 3 model 42s but no 28ga. That is why I perked up when Ricci said he was going to list the 28 Wingmaster only to have my hopes dashed again. This gun collecting could drive a man to drink! Bob

I'll be the first.
Dibs!
Bumped it.
Even has the "dog knot".
Dang it, just dang it!

I received a 410 model 1100 skeet gun today.
Agree Bob, the poly choke really hurt a wonderful gun IMO. Hopefully Ricci will do well with it..

Start collecting guns with poly chokes. Then Cutts Compensators. Then other brands. Of course, you'll still have to watch out for fakes.
Well, cheers then!😉
I have a 28 in 870. Don
