The Last Parkers

Is it reasonable to think that these guns were put together with parts in inventory that may have been seralized already?

I wouldn’t buy such a gun but just thought it was interesting.

Reggie,
I have owned six 242xxx guns. The serial # stamps on my guns were just normal Remington stamps for the time period.

Reggie, if you tell us the serial number, we may be able to tell you whether you have one of the cleanup guns or maybe one of the guns that were to be completed later.
