As mentioned previously, spacing and size seem different, the numbers 1 & 2 are defiantly different, but that may be explained by a different set of factory dies being used as Dean mentions. Where I might be hallucinating is behind the Q 2 what looks to be a ghost shadow of a KE very faintly. Did they make a Skeet in / Skeet out as a choke option? Not sure why someone would go to the trouble of altering those stamps to read Q1 /Q2 but then again I may be seeing things.

I see that too, between the Q and the 2... veery interesting!

And yes, the very early ones had "SKEET" markings as I recall. Greg would know better.

Okay gents, I see what you see, but I believe what we're seeing is actually ghosting of "LL" -- which is what's left from FULL and what this barrel was originally choked. Under the present Q1 stamps of the right barrel "MOD." was once present.
