Interested in your gun, any pics? What's it weigh?
Here's a picture. With the addition of sling mounts, extended choke and recoil pad (LOP+) it weighs in right at 6 lbs, 5.5 lbs prior to additions. Pad is the bulk of the additional weight but made for the perfect length for hunting out of a ground seat, in my case a lounger.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210421/0153bcc6fb78eb383e25411721378366.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210421/f686f8e79af8837c5bdefa4b49f820d0.jpg)

I have the SA-28 in a full size wood stock shooting the same exact choke. I got my best patterns from my 1 1/4 oz TSS #9 reloads. Al Baker
Found out this morning they do work.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210428/1cf2038482e29e291d94fa0a0dfceb5c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210428/62536b7ed4c4e3eacd7d7f9cc5728e2a.jpg)

You got any paint to go with that brush!!! Good for you Mike !!!
That's how it's done!
Thanks guys, it was exciting to pattern test on the real thing.
I know this is an old thread, but where did you get your sling mounts? I was told the magazine cap was too thin to put a sling mount on. I have the same gun I put together for my son and love it so much I've started carrying it some. It sure beats lugging around an SBE2 12ga.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220102/2608820f5e0715b93794cf1be4b24614.jpg)

The sling mounts are from GrovTec Barrel Band Swivel Set GTSW43 .630 - .675 Diameter
Be aware the barrel band will need to be removed for disassembly/assembly.
Love mine!!!!

Know it's an old thread but that's neat! I just got my first 28 a franchi diamond o/u. Very tempted to try a choke and some loads for turkey!

I've got this one that should fit your gun. Mobil threads mics out at .520(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220111/43a671dcfb652d185ac691fa65dfa617.jpg)
