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.
I was “told” that Remington made 12 gauge barrels (obviously) and 20 gauge barrels for the 3200’s but somewhere along the line “I think” I was told the 28 and 410 3200 barrels were made by Simmons . Dunno if that’s correct but seems to me that was what I’d heard .
