Remington Model 32 Combos

Remington Arms made this Model 32 Trap/Skeet Combo for Clark Gable as noted. The "One Gun" idea has been around a long time, I have looked for a "numbers match" Remington Model 32 Combo for years--I did have a mis-matched pair BUT it wasn't the same as a factory built and numbere...

Re: 1894 Hollow Rib--Concave Rib?

Well it would seem that target/pigeon shooters were on the "cutting edge" of shotgun accessorizing even in the early days.The raised rib concept on 139072 would be taken to quite the limits on modern trap guns. My modest collection has a mixture of concave (FE, CEO pigeon) Damascus flat ri...

Re: 1894 Hollow Rib--Concave Rib?

Dave, thank you for the opinion. I am looking at a Remington Model 1894 C grade "Pigeon Gun" listed on auction. Upon receiving more photos I see that it has a flat rib. I am wondering if this barrel is inconsistent with what the Pigeon guns should have, that being the more target oriented ...

1894 Hollow Rib--Concave Rib?

Charles Semmer wrote in a Double Gun Journal article that all 1894 Remington Pigeon Guns had Hollow Ribs, I have noted that the Pigeon Guns and FE Trap Guns have Concave Ribs, that is dished from side to side. A catalog posted by Researcher featured a CEO Trap Grade Gun, Ordinance Steel and "Co...

Re: Remington Model 32 Shotguns

Wow! Thank you Remdog! That is the "Best"!

What if Remington had not yielded to post war economic woes and continued the Model 32 instead of selling to Kreighoff?
The autos and pumps set Remingtons standard as more working class but there may have been room for a premium well made O/U.....

Re: Remington Model 32 Shotguns

Got a "butt ugly" 32? I found a skeet gun that had awful wood-- I found a neglected Kreighoff Model 32 Monte Carlo grade set (50's/60's?) that I rehabbed. Shooter grade not perfect.....

Who engraved my Remington Shotgun?

Remington's graded guns are on par with any of the American makers. I have alway hoped that my "C" graded 1894's or "D" graded pre-11 or Model 10 trap guns were done by the master Joe Loy. What about the "FE" and "B' guns? How many engravers were employed at any ti...
