Researcher
I am a little confused. I realize that we will never know for sure but are you saying that the lack of a Q in the SN means this shotgun was never in inventory for sale to the general public. If an employee wanted to purchase a shotgun back in the day was it common practice not to inventory the gun or do you think this was a lunch box special. Since we are speculating here I suppose it is also possible this shotgun was made up as a prize for the winner of some pigeon shoot. It is a shame that the Remington records are not readily available for scrutiny. I thought I heard a few years ago that the records really do exist but that Remington did not want to be bothered with researchers pestering them for access to them. Thank you all for answering my questions to the best of your abilities.
