Another thing I notice is that your gun does not have the 1pc. Forend loop which would be standard fare to be used with a Beavertail forend.

Look again. Yes it does!!

Great example of a late Remington gun with some options.

I am not familiar with what a 1pc. forend loop is, could someone please clarify?

If there's better pictures I can supply let me know.

Thanks

yup Agreed
It's had to see at the angle of the picture but the tell tale curve on the breech side is there.

Scott,

We unfortunately have no information on your gun. I would be interested in the frame size of your gun. It's possible it's on a size 1/2 frame. Remington started using the 1/2 frame size in the mid 30's. This frame size is relatively rare because it's almost as small as a frame size commonly used on the 20ga. guns. Look on the bottom of the rear lug on the barrels. There should be a number stamped on the flat. It could be a 3, 2, 1 1/2, 1, or 1/2.

The Morgan adjustable pad was very popular with target shooters in the 70's and I believe it's still sold today. That said, they look terrible on a vintage gun. You could keep the Morgan and put it on when you need to shoot the gun but have a vintage correct pad fitted such as a repro Silvers or Hawkins pad when displaying the gun. A 1" pad would make the LOP perfect.

Nice gun!

Chuck,

Thanks for looking and the compliment. The frame is a 1-1/2 with 30" barrels both full choke.

I gave Roy Marcot the info on the gun today, if there are records I'm betting he'll know. http://www.remingtonsociety.com/rsa/research/

Thanks for the input on the pads, I agree on the looks, functionally low comb guns beat me up even with field loads. Probably related to how I shoulder a gun due to past shoulder separations and broken collar bone.

Ah yes! I was looking at the one photo showing the front of the loop. This making us look like a standard loop. My mistake. Thanks.
