All the double guns I've seen, maybe half a dozen have all been of the lowest grade. I am sure I've missed others of the same type. If it is a very worn, beaten up double I don't give them much of a look anymore. I did look at a pump gun that was field grade but it had very nice wood on it. Could not rule out a restock job or perhaps an employee gun.

I had friends working at Remington who would go into the wood room and pick out "employee grade" wood for any gun they were going to buy themselves. A couple were exhibition grade blanks on a 1100. Wonder what ever happened to all those employee guns?
