I'd give a slight edge to guns fitted with the 1910 bolt and bolt plate over earlier guns without, all other things being equal. Unlike several above, I've been looking to ensconce a late Remington era gun in my gun room. Would prefer 26- or 28-inch barrels and open bores.

Fjestad doesn't have to worry about it. He doesn't do it alone. He herds experts into his corral and tries to get them to work together to come up with a good result. In some cases, he relies on one expert to write up one brand. I can't believe his Parker corral only includes one person. Hopefully, at least a half dozen writers get together to come up with the end result. I don't know who they are in the Parker group, but I hope it isn't one person.

The vignettes on earlier guns were defined in a nice oval, but later guns that definition is less clear.
