In the third picture that is not a Remington repair or service code.
If it were it would be two upper case letters designating the month and year, followed by a 3 .

The best I can see it is a three-digit number 179. Certainly not a Remington era repair code. I have an 1889 vintage, heavy, Damascus barrel, 2-frame, 12-gauge, GH-Grade that was fitted with a second set of Vulcan Steel barrels in 3-inch 20-gauge, probably some time in the 1918 to 1926 time frame. My barrels have a 153 in that location on the left barrel flat.

I was hoping that maybe the 20 ga barrels were added at the factory but from Brian's comment about the serial number not being factory original I guess that's not the case.
Thanks for the feedback before I made the 7 hour road trip .... The search continues |

IMHO the condition of the barrel flats and the action flats appear as though from guns of separate life histories.

Have you seen pictures of the gun assembled? The wood? The checkering? A research letter?
Depending on those things and the asking price, it might be a perfectly good shooter. .

Dean, It's been on GI for a long time with a short LOP and repair on the butt stock.
