David, A couple of scenerios could of happened. Your gun could have been a completed gun in Meriden and thus was shipped as it was built. Another may have been that Remington was using up old stock on the grip caps. We have seen guns with Meriden butt plates,grip caps and barrel roll marks that were clearly Remington assembled guns.
