Bill is correct. And why would a 242 thousand Remington Parker have any barrel rib markings ?
We know that in the 242 range there were guns assembled from remainder components after the close of production . These guns are not in the serial number records and tended to be higher grade and unusual in some way . Larry DelGrego Sr assembled some of these into the 1950’s and I understand others were done at the nearby Lefever shop.
The triplet blonde C grades cased together come to mind. They were owned by Bill Sefken and sold to I don’t know whom now.
