Thanks admin!
Some really interesting information that I've never seen, very cool.....
you should thank Gordon, he also said he's going to send more "single trigger", I'll put it up when it arrives.
It might be a little in disarray but it's up.
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.....

I would enjoy hearing about YOUR Remington Model 32, especially any graded guns.
Remdog1187--are you still around?
This is an unsigned engraved 32TC, best guess is German engraved during occupation?
Yes Mike I am still around. Sorry for the late reply.
Here’s my 1938 M32E. 26” M/IM. Engraved and signed by Robert P Runge.

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.....
Unfortunately the perfect storm of the depression, inadequate profitability, lack of management vision and limited demand all fueled the death of the Remington M32. If the popular sporting clays game had been around
the USA as has been the case for the past 40 years. If the economy had been robust and Remington managment focused on the quality,
Krieghoff may not be a household word for competition shotgun shooters. Disposable income is at an all time high and shooters plunk down $10k for K guns daily.
