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.
