The barrel displays standard Remington factory proof and inspection marks on the right side, including G in a triangle (Magnaflux), J (inspector mark), and REP in oval (Remington proof mark). No barrel date code is present, which is common when a barrel has been replaced over the life of these interchangeable-barrel shotguns (the receiver serial number provides the primary manufacture year).Condition:The shotgun is in honest field-used condition with visible patina consistent with its age. The blued finish shows light surface rust freckling/spotting that can be addressed with gun oil and fine (0000-grade) steel wool. The bore is bright and reflective. Wood retains good color and gloss with minor handling marks. No major cracks, dents, or damage noted. The gun is mechanically sound based on visual inspection.This shotgun is sold as pictured only, with no additional accessories or original box. As with any used firearm, it should be inspected by a licensed gunsmith prior to firing.A reliable and soft-shooting classic from Remington's golden era of semi-automatic shotguns.
