I have a Remington GHE 20ga about 300 numbers later than Bruce's and I would concur with Deans assesment. Definitly finish was applied but perhaps fewer coats than the exterior. Also in looking at the forend after reading this post, I noticed something I had not previously caught. The raised part of the underside of the forend that goes between the barrels is not integrel with the forend wood. It appears that it isn't even wood at all but a resin molding of sorts attached so that it is almost impossible to tell. The gun is in original condition.
