16 ga VHE with SN above 236531
 

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

i will for sure this gun is of high interest to me thanks

...and post some photos, too!

i will do that for sure in a couple of days when i get back home

VH 16
 

Heres mine.

Pretty damn nice chunk o’ wood❗️
