----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recently purchased a Remington 3200 and would like to know exactly what I have. Here is what information I have on the gun box, which I assume is original.
Remington 3200 "Special"
Break Action Shot Gun / 1991
12 gauge Vent Rib Barrel
On the sides of the receiver it in engraved in gold "Competition" surrounded by a small amount of gold engraving. The bottom of the receiver is stamped Remington 3200 OU 412XX.The barrels are 30" and stamped Full and Imp/Mod and have 2 beads. The wood is "fancy" and it is not a Montycarlo stock. One book I have says it was manufactured in 1977.
I would estimate the wood and metal to be 98-100%. Assuming that is correct, what do I have and what is your "guesstimate" as to what it might be worth. I just want to know about what I might insure it for.
Thanks for any information you might give me.

Another 3200 Question.....
It is a Competition Grade 3200 Trap Gun, commonly sold for prices from $900 to $1500 depending on the demand and the condition. There is no other gun on the market today of that quality and utility that sells for such a reasonable price. The reason is that Remington chose to give up service and parts access which diminished the value of these guns considerably. If you can figure out how to fix it when it breaks, it is a great gun to own.
