The boys and I returned from the Vegas Gun Show last month with this old gun in our take home pile. The nice old Gentleman that sold the gun to us stated that the gun came out of the BEVERLY HILLS area and the MUGU GUN CUB. The old fellow was associating the gun with the name Alex Kerr. Funny thing about this 32 Remington is that it does not have a dog on the side of the gun, also the gun is marked a TC Model and has an original (much used} hard Remington Butt Platt??. No recoil pad on a "modeled target gun"???. The stock is of the highest quality and highly checkered. Stock wood also wraps around the end of the trigger guard.The For-end is highly checkered and longer and shaped different than all other 32 For-ends that we have seen. Wood is original to the gun. Barrels are 30 In., and choked full. Chokes are short and quick. Gun shoots behind the beed and not high. I find this unusual on a dedicated target gun.

Not very much written information or books on 32 Remington's
Maybe some one out their in Parker Land can give us some ideas or information about this gun. This Model 32 Remington and the Parker were cousins at the time of this old Remington's manufacture.

Bottom gun is a Model 32 Remington Skeet gun Serial # 4458 (Note the dog on the side) and no dog on the Model TC gun.

for some reason I always thought only bonafied trap guns came with pads? since skeet was a low gun game at that period in time, only buttplates were installed to skeet or field guns, to slide up ones shoulder easily.

I was told that guns that didn't have dogs were guns destined to the custom shop for higher grade engravings or sold to buyers that would use them for award guns and have winners names or match names engraved into them at a later date. could this gun have been one of those? reason I suspect it is that wood looks like d or f grade to me.

I love the Rem. 32 and that one is a keeper. I have a 30" 32 marked skeet and I might just dig it out of the safe to shoot some clays with it soon. Thanks for posting your find.

[Bill Murphy]

Dave, Alex Kerr shot Model 32 Remingtons in NSSA competition. Of course, we have no idea if this is one of them. If you get tired of the wood, sell it to me. You might put a micrometer on the receiver to determine whether the "dogs" were sanded off, or were never there.

[Dave Noreen]

Somewhat similar gun at Cabelas Reno --

[Bill Murphy]

I have seen these unengraved F Grade Model 32s before, but don't remember where. I would own one if the owners had a more realistic idea of their value. The Cabelas gun and Dave's gun are both buffed up pretty well, maybe by the same "gunsmith". I would still like to buy Dave's wood if he replaces it. My Arnold Griebel engraved and gold inlaid 32 has wood more suited to a Mossburg.

[Stephen Hodges]

I have never owned a Model 32 but have always liked them and if the right on came along I would grab it. I think for the quality of them they are undervalued, especially the skeet models.

[charlie cleveland]

i too have always liked and wanted a 32 but have not found it yet...charlie

Of the two Remington 32's I had for awhile one had the dogs polished off . I bought both from a friend . They were apart in a box , my friend told me before I bought them that he had planned to send the polished receiver one to Angelo Bee but never did , after I bought the apart pair I think he still had three or four more REM 32's .

A couple years back a small dealer (can't remember the name) in Delaware had a Remington 32 on Gunsinternational for several months. It was a trap model with 32" barrels and a straight English stock. Very pretty, but plain, gun that at some point had been redone. I called and spoke to Lawrence Delgrego and asked him if he had ever seen the gun in his shop, and he was pretty sure they had done the work. I kick myself for not buying it, but I had other irons in the fire at the time.

[bob kuczynski]

redone r32's are ok.....as long as they rebuild them too. nothing more disappointing than to buy a pretty refinished (worn out) gun.

Hello, my name is kevin scott, new member here.. Are you still interested in a Remington model 32 2 barrel set with original leather case

Tell us the SN. My 30" TC grade has the regular dog engraved on the sides, Pachmayer White Line recoil pad, twin ivory beads and is SN 3005, bored IM & Full. It has an extra set of 28" barrels bored IC and IM for pigeons, but the SN does not match the 3005 receiver #. I shoot it frequently; they are HEAVY guns but treat targets like a stump grinder and are built like a bank vault.

[Kevin scott]

Sn# 3440 with matching numbers on both barrels

Thanks Kevin but I meant to ask the SN of the Lien's M32.

[Bill Murphy]

My search for Model 32 Remingtons ended when a good friend gave me an outrageous Arnold Griebel engraved and gold inlaid 30" tight bored beauty. I would still be interested in some higher grade wood for the Griebel gun.

[John Davis]

My Model 32. 30 inch barrels, choked Mod and Full. I use it primarily as a back up to my GHE for doubles trap. Also have an extra set of barrels, 28 inches, no rib, choked Skeet IN and Skeet OUT. Wish it had double triggers.

I have a friend that’s into Remington SxS’s and most other older Remington shotguns . Anyway he had three model 32’s with double triggers . Now he only has one .

A 3200 Remington is a great gun. Old enough to be almost vintage, but a totally useable gun nonetheless. They are my go to modern gun for Skeet or Trap. Heavy, swings great,super balanced, awesome triggers and built like tanks.

Kevin, that is the BEST description ever of a great target gun!! Treats targets like a STUMP GRINDER!! :bowdown::bowdown:

[Bill Murphy]

Dave Lein's gun looks like it is #2581. The receiver and barrel of my Griebel engraved Model 32 don't match either. Some Remington Model 32 owners have successfully added Krieghoff barrels but I don't know what modifications, if any, have to be done to make that work. I have never tried to put a set of K32 or K80 barrels on a Remington 32, but I may give it a shot.

[John Dallas]

I was surprised to learn the the barrels of 3200 (at least the 26" and 28" are actually a half inch short. Not sure about the 30" Trap model.. I'm away from home,, so can't ⁰omeasure it

[Kevin scott]

Are you still interested in owning a model 32 skeet with 2x 28in barrels with matching numbers 34xx

Hardly a tank, more like a frail old lady! I bought an early first year production one 10 years ago and, after about 10K rounds, it had all the classic failures: battered breach face, cracked ejector hooks, bent forend metal and cracked wood and others I don't remember. Paid $1200 for the gun, paid Pat Laib $1700 to make it right.

[Dave Noreen]

Back in the day I had bit of a cottage industry of picking up early Model 3200s. Every time I went to the races at Watkins Glen, I'd swing by Ilion the Monday after and drop one off. Six weeks later they'd be back with all the updates, and at least once with new forearm wood. All gratis.

I bought a new 1977 Model 3200 Skeet with Skeetmaster tubes and shot NSSA registered skeet with it for 11 years some with as many as 3500 registered targets. A lot more practice targets. In 2015 when I was driving cross country to the shoot at Hausemann's I dropped it off at Laib's and had them do anything non-cosmetic they thought it needed. I was in Iowa on my way back west when they called and said it was ready, so didn't even need to have it shipped. Total bill $406.

[John Dallas]

I have 3 -skeet, trap and field. All updated. No problems. The field, commissioned by my dad, has 1/4" cast on, and for some reason I shoot that gun as well as any I own

[Bill Murphy]

I too, shot competitive NSSA skeet and International skeet with two 3200s for many years. I never had any problems, both guns were updated when manufactured. I would not buy a 3200 today that is not updated. Laib's work is not cheap and Remington doesn't do it any more. By the way, John, 28" and 30" 3200s were equipped with barrels of those lengths. The 26" 3200s had 25 1/2" barrels. I was always a mediocre shot, but attended two World Shoots in Savannah with my Kolar tubed 3200, never missed a 20 gauge bird. However, that is probably my only claim to fame in NSSA skeet.

[John Dallas]

My two 28" guns measure 27 3/4" The 30 " gun measures 30"

[Bill Murphy]

John D, you are right. Both the 26" and 28" 3200s are less than that measurement.

[J. Scott Hanes]

The reason for the shorter-than-published lengths is because of the rib block spacing for attachment to the barrels. A true length rib for actual 26" and 28" would have required a different rib spacing. Better manufacturing efficiency.

That harks back to the 26 3/4-inch Winchester Ventilated Rib barrel on the 12-gauge Model 12 Skeet Gun. 1939 --

Excellent observation, Scott.
