A couple of thoughts; maybe someone could ask the seller if it has a non-automatic safety, that was normally standard on a "skeet gun". Lack of a BTFE in the serialization book gives me pause. A pistol grip skeet would have been special order as normal configuration would have been a straight grip. I wouldn't give up on this gun if you want it, see if it was special ordered. The letter would increase or decrease the odds it was stamped "skeet in" and "skeet out" at the factory. The gun could have been modified with the BTFE and stamps applied much later.

PS. ask the seller for a picture of the forend lug to see if it is the factory reinforced lug used for the BTFE.
