Rich,
Maybe he has a prescription for what the slower is smoking, thus making it legal if he is in one of those type of states.
Anyway... Yeah, that line is from buffing. It shows up grew in that photo and I is a good example of it. The line can be very difficult to see most times and it normally needs to be held just right in the light to see it. I am sure he flash on the camera made it stand out here.
But who needs a buffing like to determine that cyanide case colors are not original.
Overall a very nice gun. It does have the correct forend iron for a BTFE. It looks like it also has a second pin back farther in the wrist in front of the checkering pattern.
Interesting that the gun books as a PG stock. There is nothing that I see that jumps out as the buttstock not being replaced. Other than the quality of wood being much higher than normally seen on a VH. But Remington did hat a lot.
