Interesting stamp. One wonders why, when the barrel flats are stamped with the typical “Parker Bros. Overload Proved”, the warning stamp would also be on the exterrior of the barrel breech…
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.
