Edgar, I assume you never had a receiver torch colored by Lefever Arms either.

At one time I had an upgraded BHE 28. I sold it and bought a wonderful upgraded AAHE 28 two barrel set. Upgrades or not both the Parker and Lefever are wonderful guns.

I know of 2 upgraded Parkers owned by decendents of Remington executives 1 being that BHE 28 the other a DHE 20. The BHE has been mentioned briefly in a DGJ article(?) and The DHE was owned by an officer of Remington Arms. I'm vague because I have promised to protect his identity. The current owner of the BHE has been very forthcoming about the culture at Remington around this time since his dad was hired post WWII and was promoted throughout his career there.

Ok thanks Craig - so execs owning upgraded Parkers represent only a tiny percentage of the upgrades. That makes sense.

I can't answer that question about quantity but I certainly think it started in Remingtons factory and I believe part of the reason was they didn't want to be out done by the boys at Olin/ Winchester with there 21's. Upgrades seemed popular in the 70's about that time I heard someone had an Invincible built for 40K but no name was attached nor gun appeared. Finally after 47 years I'have yet to see an upgrade L.C. Smith, Fox, or Lefever or even known of 1.

Not a question really Craig. Remington also had the Model 32. It was also a fine gun and lent itself to upgrades as well.
I'm sure there are Fox upgrades and I know there are Lefever upgrades, there being virtually no remaining Lefever factory records in existence. Can't really imagine an LC Smith upgrad though.... .
