The gun is a Skeet Special ,Stamped Long Range , Vent Rib ,Pistol Grip ,Field grade snap on forend , Non Ejector ! I believe 1 of 5 that fits this description and the only one made in this guns year of manufacture ! Some one polished the receiver other than that the gun is per the letter and the " Long range " inscription is stamped oddly ! Long is on the barrel lug over Range instead of being in a straight line !

Russ I would think an email to Jesi Bennett or any of the other firearms specialist at Cody would get you an answer to that question. You never know.
