Great new Home Page pic
 

Beautiful!

Absolutely!!! It is great

Now that would be a real nice addition for my accumulation !

It's a Remington era gun, 241K serial number range. Has all the usual Rem features including Rem barrels lacking the rib legend.

Great photo of a great looking gun.

Very Nice Parker there Randy,
and a great photo with those paper Winchester shells and cool box.

Great photo!!

FWIW Those Winchester REPEATER Speed Loads are ten to twelve years older than the gun. Hope they weren't shot in the gun as they have the old corrosive primers. During 1931-2, just as the Olins took over, the Winchester STAYNLESS primers were introduced. This would have been the box in 1941 --

Dave those are just part of some ammo that I purchased for staging, no plans to shoot those in anything. Ran into a cool box of 3" paper 20 gauge while I was looking around. Not perfect by any means but they will fit my needs, the 3" 20 is hard to find as you know, full box to boot.

Nice. That seems to be the load I find in vintage 3-inch 20-gauges more than any other -- 20-grains of Ballistite pushing 7/8 ounce if shot.

The company name on your box is Remington Arms Company, Inc. which it became during the summer of 1920. This shotgun shell collecting can get addictive. I have gotten full boxes of 20-gauge 3-inch ARROW shells with the company name Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. (1911 to 1916) and Remington Arms Company, Inc. (1920 0nward). Still looking for one with the WW-I era The Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Co., Inc. (1916 to 1920).

yes shell collecting is a bad habit to pick up my wife gets I ll at me says I spend to much on them old shells.....I have yet to be able to get a box of them early 3 inch 20 ga shells and the 3 inch 16 ga shells....good find on them shells.....charlie

Books are good because a $20 book looks the same as a $400 book to most people

Back during the crash of 2008 I was able to pick up some nice full 3-inch 20-gauge boxes from the Ward's Auction --

Since then when a box of vintage 3-inch 20-gauge shells does come up the price shoots past my comfort zone in a hurry. A box of these has never been within my comfort zone --

A number of years ago I had a chance at box of Remington UMC ARROW 20-gauge 2 7/8 inch shells and passed. Didn't realize how really scarce they are. It seems to me that the early long, 2 7/8, 3 and 3 1/4 inch 12-gauge shells must have all been shot up by the old timers as they sure don't show up very often

The 3" box of 20's I was able to get was advertised as 2 3/4" otherwise I suspect I would have paid substantially more. A pal of mine spotted them and called me.

I watch wards auction all the time...them nice 3 inch 20 ga shells are hard to come by...as said always out of my comfort zone....I have a 3 1/4 inch 12 ga parker brothers brass shell. and a coupla 4 inch brass 12 ga umc shells only ones I haxe ever seen or heard of.... charlie
