Default Interesting Configuration

I know we have been talking about long barreled beauties here recently. Although I tend to like longer barrels as well, this gun makes me ponder the intent. Maybe it was intended as a road hunter?

Specifics - 24" barrels reverse choked IM/M. Double ivory beads, BTFE, straight grip, non-auto safety, skeleton butt plate, SST. Has a lot of skeet characteristics but with tighter chokes. Maybe a cramped duck blind gun?

Looks original to me. Very nice late Remington gun. What a grouse gun that would make!

Finishes appear original Remington to me.

Multi-purpose?? Skeet, Grouse, Woodcock and Puddle ducks...??

A great turkey gun. Short and easy to move with tight chokes.

That is one interesting gun. I wish we knew more about it as in, how was it actually used.

I agree with two of the thoughts: Really good skeet shooter and duck blind gun.

I certainly like it ! Is it on an 0 frame or a 1 frame ? The 16 VHE skeet I have is the same basic configuration and on a 1 frame .
