Code indicate service on March 1936 and May 1936. They must not have done it right the first time?

Yeah, the bare hairy legs freaked me out a bit too. lol.
The forend itself is correct with the draw bolt in the end, but the Forend loop is not correct for BTFE. However, weren't earlier BTFE guns of lower grades bade with the standard forend loop for a while before they went to the 1pc. loop on all grades?

The gun in question is a 1908 or '09 gun. When was the reinforced forend lug introduced?

Dean, that's your problem, you'd hit more if you would shoulder the gun
 The gun in question was ordered in Jan of 1910. The reinforced lug was introduced about 1918 according to TPS. |

Pa SxS,
Thanks for that bit of information and the other as well. So, would it be possible that this is a factory BTFE? I'm also a little concerned that the order book shows it a GH and not a GHE, it does have ejectors. I see that ejectors were a $25 option. Again, this is all new to me, I'm wondering if the ejectors were later added to this gun or did they come on it from the start as an option. The gun was sent to Remington in March and then in May of 1936 for some type of work. Did Remington offer adding ejectors in 1936? Maybe that was done and also the single triggeradded. I'm waiting to hear from Doug Turnbull to see if he did the restoration. I also was told the gun has spent all of its life in the Syracuse area. We are close to Illion so it would not have been too far a trip to Remington in 1936 to have to work performed. This is all a learning experience and I have to say I have never come in contact with a nicer group of gun guys. Thanks eveyone for your help in learning about 152816. I hope I can come to an agreement with the owner on price and purchase this gun. I look forward to joining you guys in the PGCA and the pride in owning a nice Parker. Matt |
