High grade Remington hammer guns, let alone Lifters, don't come around very often. They're about as scarce as hens teeth, and someone screwed it up like that ? Hope you're going to put it back in order. Is it a 10 or 12 ? I had a field grade 10, then a 12, and now a grade 4 12ga, and think it was made in 74. That one looks like it could be a real nice gun. Good luck. Paul
