Picky, picky, picky. From a purely collectors view point, probably not a gun you'd be interested in. From a shooters stand point, you'd be lucky to own this gun and should thank Del Grego for all his hard work.

True. Many of these late guns will make a person go weak in the knees.

The original poster asked for our opinion, then stated that all finishes look original. I think he has had the course. I will add that the finish on the barrel flat is a bit rough and that I have never seen a gun that late with the serial number in that location on the barrel lug. I think it is a leftover set of barrels or an unfinished set installed by Lefever or just possibly, Del Grego.

While I prefer all original I could live with this gun . I kinda like target guns be it SBT , skeet guns , pigeon guns or double traps . Have everything covered except a double trap , perhaps down the road . But if I were shooting a trap doubles event I wouldn’t feel handicapped using either of my so called pigeon guns .

Mike, Del Grego's colors were mostly done at the Arms and the appearance depends on the day of the week. Not a criticism, because I love all my Del Grego and Remington guns. This is a Del Grego gun.
