Skeet barrel markings

[jeffery c]

Do these barrel markings seem factory to the members? I read previous posts on the site and it seems that skeet guns are normally choked skeet in and skeet out. Also, that there were non-factory restamped guns out there at times. This is from a custom restocked gun listed on GI.

No those are not factory skeet markings.

Those SKEET IN stamps look newer and deeper than the other stamps on the flats. And I have never seen one with the same skeet stamp on both flats. Many of the other Remington stamps are familiar to us but not all of them are. I wonder what the real story of those Skeet stamps is...

The stampings also seem to have been made with individual letter stamps, as they are not well aligned.

You have to be very careful when looking at “skeet guns”. They are much like ‘32 fords. There are more oit there than were actually made.

Looks someone went through a lot of effort to mill off the original choke markings.

I don't know if those markings are factory, but it is not unheard of for both barrels to have the same markings. Dean, look at the pictures of the AHE .410 skeet gun. As I recall, both markings were the same. What does the letter on this gun say? Extremely late guns were sometimes changed into something different at the factory.

I now see what your talking about! The normal location for chokes has oval millings there.

Bill, according to the G&H letter on 241576 the chokes were SKEET IN and SKEET OUT

Do the Remington repair codes tell the story?
