VERY LATE SERIAL #2423XX. REMINGTON BARREL DATE CODE BL, INDICATES JANUARY 1942 PRODUCTION...A HELLAVA TIME TO BE MAKING SHOTGUNS! A COUPLE OF NON STANDARD FEATURES...FIRST THERE ARE NO ROLL STAMPS ON THE TOP RIB...SECOND THE RECEIVER AND FOREND IRON ARE BLUED, WITH NO EVIDENCE OF THERE EVER BEING ANY CYANIDE CASE COLORING...COULD THIS BE THE LAST 20 GAUGE VHE?

HAS ANYONE ELSE HERE SEEN A LATE PARKER WITH BLUED RECEIVER?
