Bruce is my friend. He knows a lot and always is ready to visit about the guns. I can say he likes his guns as much or more than you. And just how do you get a gun with out writing a check? I am the worst person but I try. I think we all should read 1st John, I believe it's just 5 chapter.

<----- Sam says we should give it a rest.

Have you ever noticed you can begin to dislike a person because of who they run with and you dont even know that person. Just a thought !!

I understand completly. If someone is like that do you really care if they like you? I have 3 friends that is all I need. Got God and my family and well that will do.

When discussing the fluid steel barrels on this B Grade 20, posters seem to forget or not know that these barrels were installed at Remington by Parker Gun Works employees and have factory markings. They are factory original. With two sets of Remington repair codes, I doubt that any work done on the gun was done by anyone other than Parker Gun Works employees. This gun is original with factory finish and should not be restored, whether the value would be increased or not.

I agree completely.

If it was my gun the 1937 and checkered butt would disappair. I can guarentee.

The checkered butt is probably from the Parker Gun Works. I would not fool with it. I kind of like the 1937 too. Maybe this gun has my name on it.

Calvin,

What makes Bruce so unpopular, most of the time, are statements like the one I quoted. Regular guys, which obviously Bruce considers himself above, just don't appreciate that sort of thing.

Fix the screws and leave the rest alone.

Great gun I would love it and leave it alone---it is what it is---beautiful gun. Enjoy it for what it is----shoot a few birds with it every year, do nothing but use it and care for it.
I just plan to keep my modest collection of vintage SxS shotguns in usable condition and in the words of a very wise man, Austin Hogan, have fun with them.
