I have said this before on this forum and here is another reminder. The grip listed in the Serialization book for the last guns made by Remington are all p/g. This is incorrect and should not be considered when looking at a late or Remington gun. The IBM cards do not have the grip listed. The grip is listed in the stock book but we do not have stock books that run to the very end. The default when building the database was p/g. That explains why the last guns were all listed the same.

Well done. The barrels fit well even though its a non-VR gun to a VR barrel.

David, did you work the curve in the extension rib from a flat surface? If those barrels came to you with the curve, they were retrofitted to a standard solid rib frame at the factory. That is why the fit is so nice. What is the serial number of your vent rib 32" barrels?

I just checked the chokes on mine, 12 gauge was .020 /.019 the 16 gauge was .010 /.008
That is RH /LH and much tighter than I thought they would be.

Bill Murph.
Bill do you think this rib was installed at the parker factory, "Maybe late" ???
As you can see their are no date codes on the barrel???
I did no work on the top of the dolls head…
Brownells chamber gauge in the barrel indicates 2 7/8" chamber
I shoot only 2 3/4" shells in the gun.

SERIAL NUMBER 32 inch vent rib barrels

My opinion is that Remington clearly did not make enough Skeet guns…Appears that they made 1,089 over the span of 13 years, this averaged 84 guns a year. The VHE Skeet Guns that I have looked at are all very well made and extremely well balanced. "THEY DID TAKE THE HIGH ROAD" in workmanship and materials and had good advertising... The proof is in the pudding. NOT ENOUGH SKEET GUNS TO GO AROUND TODAY

I don't think I should have sold the GHE 20 skeet
