Interesting Configuration

[Randy Roberts]

Dean that is just a way cool gun that has a lot going for it. A very unique configuration with a ton of original condition, very nice indeed. I do recall seeing 25" guns with a BTFE but I do not recall a 24" gun with a BTFE. Have we seen one before? And it's a 24" 16 gauge on a 1 frame, we'll never know what the original owner was thinking. No matter, I like it. You should shoot some roosters with that one. Congrats, nice find.

The J Cliff Green two gun four barrel set are all 24” and beavertail forends .

I love the engraving on Remington Era DHEs.

Ahh. There ya go. You should buy that set. You're intrigued by it per historical data. Just saying.

Spot me a quarter million indefinitely and I’ll drive up and get them Tuesday

Bill Murphy explained the reason for tighter chokes in skeet guns once before. Hopefully he will again, which would also explain the reversed chokes.

Jerry,
You are correct about Bill's statement. Tighter chokes were used due to the side of the field/house the targets were broken in the early days of the game.

This gun has .025R and .018L constriction.

I’ve got VHE skeets in 12 and 16 both of those when measured are closer to what I’d call light mod and mod . A typical skeet gun of today doesn’t have more than 10/1000’s in either barrel and most I think are more like 5/1000’s .

Randy,

I have not triangulated all the short barreled guns to determine a large forend code. Craig T. stated the Cliff Green gun's had a BTFE, which I do not dispute. However, they do not show a large forend code like mine doesn't. Don't think we can go by the serialization book on that particular question.
