Your gun would have had Damascus barrels originally. It was likely rebarreled at the factory at one time.

Yes, later Fluid Steel GH guns were Special Steel. But guns rebarreled could be fitted with whatever barrels the customer wanted. Vulcan steel would have been the lowest price option.

A PGCA letter may verify this.

We could probably tell you quite a bit if you post some good pictures of the barrel flats, the rib inscription and the barrel lug.

There were a lot of years this gun could have been rebarreled before Remington repair codes would come into play.
