The gun is in high original condition so I wouldn’t suspect there would be any reason for such a warning.

Are there any Remington service codes on the left barrel flat? The lug is in the way of being able to read anything tight against the lug.

I have a VHE 16 in high original condition with the same notice. Gun is 1923 with 2 9/16 chamber. No overload stamp and no Remington repair codes. The pre-finished weight of the barrel is 3/3 and the finished weight is 2/14 on a 28 inch length. Chamber/FC juncture is .105

Allen, is that "5.8" lbs Five Pounds, 8 Ounces, or, as it is typed, 5 and 8/10 lbs?

Edgar, the guns weighted out on my scale at 5 lbs 8 ounces. I had the scale calibrated and trust it.

That was what the notice said standard velocity only. Bobby

1923 would be three years earlier than the beginning of the OVERLOAD PROOF stampings. They appear to start in the 217xxx range during 1926

I think we may be laboring under the assumption that these same or similar stamped warnings on a mere handful of Parkers might have been stamped by Parker Bros. when we have no evidence of that.

Too bad we don't have some Chuck Bishop research on all three. We need one to surface with its original hang tag!!
