If I have posted this before, I apologize. My dad was a director at Remington who ordered a 2 Barrel 3200 set in the years before choke tubes. The gun took a long time to arrive, and when it did there was no invoice for him to pay. He called the president asked where the invoice was. The president said to my dad that they could not sell him the gun at the present time, because it was on their books for $300,000. They claimed that that was the work done to be able to develop their multiple Barrel skeet sets on their automated Machinery without requiring additional skilled labor to fit the barrels. After two years they sent my dad an invoice for the normal amount for the gun. If that $300,000 number is correct, which I doubt, the few number of multiple Barrel skeet sets that Remington must have sold would have been big-time losers.
