Re: the hickory reinforcing rod - Not questioning your expertise, just curious - how do you determine a reinforcing rod on such a gun? I know holes were drilled in the butt to add lead or remove wood and then plugged in order to balance the gun but my question echos yours... was Remington still using the reinforcing rod?
Dean,
The checkered butt showed the outline of two circular rods/plugs stacked on top of each other. I assumed these to be reinforcing rods since there were two of them. It was certainly an interesting gun.

The two plugged holes in a checkered wood butt are common to most Parkers with that butt. It is not normally a hickory reinforcing rod.
