Must have been very late as my December 1940 16-gauge, serial number over 1700 higher than the gun in question, doesn't have a reinforced forearm loop.

Barrels from old stock Dave?

No. Remington Ilion barrels, plain rib, no vestiges of Meriden markings on the barrel flats.

Once again, never say “never” or “always” when talking about Parkers.

Other than obvious re-barrels, the lowest serial number gun I've recorded with a plain rib is 240245 which has a barrel date code of RH R = November H = 1939. But Remington certainly wasn't building Parker guns in serial number order, and I've recorded higher serial number guns with date codes back to 1937 with rib legends?!?

I stand corrected and apologize to Dave and others who questioned my statement that Remington Arms used the reinforced, one-piece forend loop on all of their Parker barrels.

We can only presume that Remington continued Parker Bros. policy of using this reinforced loop on guns ordered with a trap (beavertail) forend as well as all higher grade guns with splinter forends

This information found on page 145 of TPS.

Apologies to all for previously misstating what I thought I had read years ago.

Now this begs the question, which “higher grades” received this upgrade? What is the lowest grade beginning in 1918 to have originally included this feature
