The gun is littered with European proof marks, but I don't see any Remington repair codes.

No codes then is it safe to say it's never been back to Remington ? It would be nice to know at what date all the European proof marks were stamped on it must be arfter 1937. All the best Dave. |

I looked at one Remington gun and found the manufacturing code on the right barrel flat to the right of the serial number hard against the lug in small faint letters. Those Brits may have ground yours down when they ground down your Parker Overload Proof stamps. I wonder why they don't put their proof marks right on the outside of the barrel like they do on Boss over unders?

David: The barrels show 12ga with 2 1/2" chambers (the 12-65) and may have possibly been reproved as required in Europe if it was shipped there or taken there by a G.I. I can't get the picture to zoom up enough to identify the marks for sure but I think them to be English. The serial and grade marking look like Parker which leads me to believe the other stuff is a re-proof. I don't see any Remington marks of any kind but I'm just learning like most of us. Lee.

2 5/8 Chambers for 2 1/2 inch shells
This gun was apparently re proofed to European standards - 65 mm = 2.56 inch, 70mm = 2.76 inch. A 2 5/8 inch chamber would have to be proofed at 65 mm.

Thanks Lee for the help as you say it could be a reproved gun.
All the best Dave. |
