OK, no Remington repair codes, so any factory modifications would have been performed before the Remington takeover. We would have to see better pictures to determine whether we think Turnbull case colored the action. I have my doubts. Besides the water table which doesn't look too much like Turnbull colors, I doubt that a week at Turnbull's (as you suggested) would get you a case color job. It's a nice gun, the forend should be repaired by a professional, and there just aren't any other problems. All this special care for #1 frame guns is not neccesary. A #1 frame gun is the same size as a #1/2 frame gun and Remington made trap and skeet guns on the #1/2 frame.
