16 ga VHE with SN above 236531

[Don Strelioff]

I just recently purchased a 16 ga VHE with a sn in the 240+ range
26" bbl 's 2 3/4 in chambers 98% condition full imp mod chokes the wood looks like B grade wood actually stunning forend and butt stock
also has a factory case
I presume this is a Remington gun .
My question is is it possible to letter remington made guns

[Jim DiSpagno]

Not really. Everything's on IBM cards and not decipherable

[John Davis]

Certainly not as much info on the IBM cards as the Stock Books but you might be surprised at what you do find. And Chuck is pretty good at deciphering.

[Don Strelioff]

ok thanks for the info
my curiosity is peaked on why a vhe would have such hi grade wood

[John Davis]

Towards the end of production, Remington was using up stock and parts on hand.

[Don Strelioff]

that's makes sense this is not vhe grade wood for sure that's a plus i plan on hunting with the gun i will just have to be a bit careful

[Gerald McPherson]

I also have a VH 16 ga that dates to 1937 with very nice wood. For me that adds a grade level or two.

Order the letter. Some of the IBM cards have interesting information.
