All I had was my cell phone so the pictures are not the greatest but here it is. It was a fully functional gun.

Me too Dave. I did take the barrels off and there was a Remington repair code. The old gentleman had owed it for 70 years by his estimate and it was like this when he purchased it.

I doubt that was done by the factory but I can clearly see it was done by a skilled person. Still, the question of 'why?' . It kind of reminds me of a guy who comes every year to the Dublin Antique engine show with a simplicity lawn tractor with a ford flathead V8 in it. The workmanship is what I expect NASA demands, and the sucker runs and drives, but it's one of those exercises in engineering that seem to have no logic.

Edgar, I think the logic of these kind of excesises amounts to"Just wanted to see if it could be done" and how well it could be done.
