A solid rib skeet. It looks like a new gun. Is it 26" or 28"? A good friend sold me his Arnold Griebel engraved 30" gun a few years ago. It is well stocked in some painfully plain wood with a nice checkering pattern. Oddly enough, not long befor I bought this gun, I sold some nice TC grade original wood to a friend who had some poorly stocked 32s. I really like the gun but it doubles occasionally. I should have Babe Del Grego look at it next time I visit.

Good day Bill: The old gal has 26" barrels and is so tight it is hard to put together if you have more than a light film of oil on the sides of the breech. It almost acts like hydraulic lock. Were all 32's that way? I talked to DelGrego's and another "smith" that works on 32's and was told if the trigger was badly adjusted by someone who didn't know them they will double in a heartbeat, and if they tried to lighten the pulls by stoning the hammers a repair could cost $1,000.00 or more. They suggested putting a trigger pull gage on it and if the trigger pull was less than 5 or 6 pounds somebody has monkeyed with it. The trap boys were the most guilty of this I was told. I havent't been able to shoot it myself yet as I had an aortic dissection Memorial day weekend but will be ready by September 1st, Kansas dove opener. I had a buddy shoot it before I bought it and it works fine, I just had trouble getting it away from him. Have a great day!. Lee.

I really like a 32 though I'll admit I think a 3200 is prettier. The 32 is a classic Remington skeet gun and I can't figure why one would be considered a "stepchild". If anything, I think the Parker Gun after 1934 could be considered a Remington "stepchild".

Dean: I used the word stepchild as I posted on the Parker forum instead of the Remington forum. I understand your thoughts on Remington Parkers but one has to admit that this gun, [made in 1936] and post '34 Parkers were both made when Remington was making guns the "old fashioned way" instead of plastic, stampings, and piano wire.
