Yes, buying does come with training wheels...you guys.
It seemed my mother had Band-Aids on every shopping list. Sure I got loads of skinned knees when the wheels came off, but I learned to ride that thing a lot quicker, and had more fun too.
Your gun was made in Meriden, and the difference between the combs of Meriden guns, and Remington Ilion is what you noticed. To my mind's eye, the Meriden comb was more graceful. I do not believe Ilion butt plates had a widows peak, but Brian is the expert in that dept. If you look at Parker Reproductions, you'll see they have the Remington styled comb
