My search for Model 32 Remingtons ended when a good friend gave me an outrageous Arnold Griebel engraved and gold inlaid 30" tight bored beauty. I would still be interested in some higher grade wood for the Griebel gun.

My Model 32. 30 inch barrels, choked Mod and Full. I use it primarily as a back up to my GHE for doubles trap. Also have an extra set of barrels, 28 inches, no rib, choked Skeet IN and Skeet OUT. Wish it had double triggers.

I have a friend that’s into Remington SxS’s and most other older Remington shotguns . Anyway he had three model 32’s with double triggers . Now he only has one .

A 3200 Remington is a great gun. Old enough to be almost vintage, but a totally useable gun nonetheless. They are my go to modern gun for Skeet or Trap. Heavy, swings great,super balanced, awesome triggers and built like tanks.

Hardly a tank, more like a frail old lady! I bought an early first year production one 10 years ago and, after about 10K rounds, it had all the classic failures: battered breach face, cracked ejector hooks, bent forend metal and cracked wood and others I don't remember. Paid $1200 for the gun, paid Pat Laib $1700 to make it right.

I was surprised to learn the the barrels of 3200 (at least the 26" and 28" are actually a half inch short. Not sure about the 30" Trap model.. I'm away from home,, so can't ⁰omeasure it

Back in the day I had bit of a cottage industry of picking up early Model 3200s. Every time I went to the races at Watkins Glen, I'd swing by Ilion the Monday after and drop one off. Six weeks later they'd be back with all the updates, and at least once with new forearm wood. All gratis.

I bought a new 1977 Model 3200 Skeet with Skeetmaster tubes and shot NSSA registered skeet with it for 11 years some with as many as 3500 registered targets. A lot more practice targets. In 2015 when I was driving cross country to the shoot at Hausemann's I dropped it off at Laib's and had them do anything non-cosmetic they thought it needed. I was in Iowa on my way back west when they called and said it was ready, so didn't even need to have it shipped. Total bill $406.

I have 3 -skeet, trap and field. All updated. No problems. The field, commissioned by my dad, has 1/4" cast on, and for some reason I shoot that gun as well as any I own

I too, shot competitive NSSA skeet and International skeet with two 3200s for many years. I never had any problems, both guns were updated when manufactured. I would not buy a 3200 today that is not updated. Laib's work is not cheap and Remington doesn't do it any more. By the way, John, 28" and 30" 3200s were equipped with barrels of those lengths. The 26" 3200s had 25 1/2" barrels. I was always a mediocre shot, but attended two World Shoots in Savannah with my Kolar tubed 3200, never missed a 20 gauge bird. However, that is probably my only claim to fame in NSSA skeet.
