This one does. Quite noticeable when handling it.

Not in the pre-Remington days.

Wow Randy, that is unusually thick-wristed. What is the YOM?

Yeah the pics aren’t great, just trying to help spread some knowledge, as this a is a great site! I noticed in the pics the forend and stock don’t seem to match, I wondered if it was replaced.

Randy, are there any Remington codes on the left barrel flat?

That is a thick wrist. Hard to believe the stock, or at least the stock finish is original on a gun with a receiver that weathered. Oops, I see those last pics are from a different gun. My comment holds for the first gun though; the butt looks too nice for the gun and, as stated above, it doesn't seem to match the forend.

In regards to the gun originally posted about... Without knowing the serial range of the gun, I would suspect that the buttstock was a later factory replacement and the forend is original to the gun.
The rounded bottom on the checkering pattern is later. Mid 1920s and on.
