I have a Remington Model 10T (Target) That's the VR model.
The VR being one piece with the bbl itself is quite a piece of machinework.

Nice shotgun, pretty wood. Two factory #'d butt stocks actually.
3 'Returned to Factory for Service' date codes on the bbl.
IIRC the mfg yr was '27 or 28.
A favorite shooter on the Skeet range for me
and when I do occasionally make it to the SC course.
Choke is your friend..

I had a Model 17 w/Solid Rib some yrs back. But it got traded/sold away.
I want to think that it traded for a Winchester 42. But that might only be to try and make me feel better.
