Factory Beavertail?

[Kirk Potter]

Cabelas has a very late Remington era 20 gauge DHE. It looks to fit all the specs of a skeet gun, but Cabelas has the chokes listed as MOD/FULL. # 241779

Wondering if the forend looks factory to you guys?

Kirk here's a pic of one that's right for comparison. Looks right to me. You might inquire about the presence of the reinforcing rod as well as the reinforced lug for further confirmation.

The serial number on original wood is located under the fore end iron. Only way I know to be sure. As a caveat I have only examined splinter fore ends not beavertails. Maybe others have seen the sn on a beaver tail forend.

Not if it is an ejector gun.

The link in the original post only gets me to Cabelas, not the gun in question.

The stamped serial number on ejector guns is under the forend iron. I have also seen it stamped there on later extractor guns.

Google can find the gun but when you go there it is same as OP link. Suggests to me it has been sold and removed from the website. [IMG][/IMG]

Here is the gun. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/100438922

FWIW it lacks the double ivory beads. Ask for a picture of the barrel flats and the forend lug for starters.

At $9700 I couldn't get away from that gun fast enough!

But it does have those two lovely plug screws in the rib!!
