Wikipedia is one of the great resources of the modern age. It is under continuous evaluation and monitoring and change - and is never final authority (but then is anything?). It is a crowd-based resource...but WHAT A RESOURCE. You could have a wall of encyclopedias and not approach the amount of information in that one site. I contribute a few dollars to it every year.

I always enjoy seeing images of classic Remington shotguns. They had some nice wood on them for production guns that's for sure.

[quote=John E]Here is a list of buyers:
Parker Shotguns - JJE Capital Holdings, LLC (Palmetto State Armory)
Incorrect sir - The production of the Parker shotgun by Remington Arms ceased at the onset of WW-II and aside from assembling a small number of Parker shotguns from leftover parts at the end of the war, that was the end of Parker shotguns as far as manufacturing was concerned. Remington, however, still owned the name Parker, Parker Shotguns, the Parker Gun, and anything associated with the marque (name) of Parker as it pertains to those things. So... JJE Capitol Holdings, LLC now owns the marque and anything associated with it... as I understand it. Remington sourced bespoke Parker 28ga guns from CSMC in the last decade. I believe Remington was still the legal manufacturer.

I don't know about the shotguns, but Remington had a period in the late 90s or early 2000s where they make "custom" rolling blocks fitted out with fancy felt-lined, leather-trimmed case and fancy wood, etc. They were junk that was just short of dangerous to the shooter. They looked good in the 10-foot test, but in your hands, it was hideously obvious how bad they were. How/who made them I do not know. I assumed Remington proper, but they may have been outsourced.

I'd put my older Belgie mfg. A-5 12 against any gas operated Remmie self-loading shotgun. Just like with the: M-1 Garand, BAR, M-14 US military rifles with a gas piston, fouling often occurs after repetitive firing, whether from a fox-hole or a duck blind.RWTF Even as far back as 1968, those Remington gas guns (Sportsman 58 and Model 1100) proved pretty reliable for Chief Buntrock and Tommy Heffron!!
