My Remington 32 is an Arnold Griebel engraved and gold inlaid relic from the fifties. Arnold was recognized as one of the best, if not the best, engraver of the fifties and sixties in the US. It was a gift from a friend of Kevin's and mine. I am not much for gold on vintage guns, but being a gift, I will tough it out. Kevin's 32 is a target busting machine, mine, not so much, but it does the job. Kevin and I sometimes appear on the same range with 32s in hand.

A while back Pat L had a screamer Model 32 with a serial number in the 51xx range for sale that was very tempting. I was happy when it sold because as much as I liked it, I knew that 28-inch full & full was not much use to this skeet shooter!

For anyone who dines on Sanibel Island, FL, you probably know about "Gramma Dot's" restaurant at the marina. On the wall, there is a picture of her shooting a M32. The split barrels are a dead giveaway

Saw that several years ago visiting friends on Captiva. We stopped a Dot’s for lunch.

A few years back the VGC had a vintage O/U event. I'm not sure of the cut off date for year of manufacture but I actually had a shooter on another squad question my M32 trap as not being a vintage gun. Fun gun to shoot.

I've had the M32 on the trap field for the last few days. Started off with a round of 16 yrd singles using the top (full choke) barrel and went 25 straight. After that, it's been all doubles. I like the way it handles and had some decent scores. This morning it was time to put her to the test and that meant head to head with my Parker GHE, a dedicated doubles trap gun. In this very scientific trial, the M32 performed well but was no competition for the Parker. Looks like she'll be relegated to a backup gun, second string.

Besides, the side x side gets more side ways looks than the O/U at the trap shoots.

Bill would love to see that shotgun. I have a model 21 engraved by Arnold Griebel for the President of Marshall Fields for his 25th anniversary.

Phil, as you know, Arnold and Marshall Field were both Chicago guys.
