My first guess would be is that Remington figures the market is saturated already so probably not worth getting involved in such a venture.
Probably the same reason Ruger stopped production of there Red Label. Economics. Manufacturing cost per gun X how many guns where being sold. My guess is Remington and Ruger were not selling enough O/U's to make it worth there while.
Ya I guess I remember Ruger saying how they were able to significantly reduce costs when reintroducing the Red label
Which have you owned. I'm wondering if I should get a 3200 or 332. I like the fact the 332 can shoot both 2 3/4" and 3" plus interchangeable chokes. Does the 3200 have interchangeable chokes?
I purchased a used 3200 from a local gunstore. It fit me well and shot where I pointed it but if I shot the top barrel first the action would open. Sent it off for repairs and after about six months of waiting I got frustrated and got my money back. Having said that if I came across another 3200 at the right price and condition I would buy it.

Are the chokes on the 3200 interchangeable.
Remington hasn't had much luck with o/u. The Model 32 is pre-WWII and not very common. The 3200 was okay after the post-purchase factory upgrades. Anything afterwards wasn't very good.
Here's a good thread from Shotgun World that describes what to look for if purchasing a 3200.

Also, remember the 3200 has been out of production for 30 years. Spare parts aren't easily available.
Is there any reason why you are focused on a Remington o/u? A better choice would be a Browning Citori or Beretta 68x series.

I'm a huge Remington fan. I grew up with them. My grandfather taught me to shoot had all Remingtons, and I have loved them ever since.
I am a huge remington fan also but not enough to own one of their later O/U any more. Get the citori or beretta as the boys say and you will be way farther ahead

Yep pretty much sums it up. I had to send the 3200 back to NY if I recall correctly after the recall
The good old days box it and mail it and they mailed it back no paperwork etc etc I like this gun and had no serious problems with it when it came back

These guns were built in the days before choke tubes. A fair number of target guns were reworked by Briley to use their thin walled tubes. The barrels are thin enough that it must be a thin wall system. If you are looking for a trap or skeet gun, they will be appropriately choked and tubes may not be that big a deal.
Decent guns, but as noted they have been out of production 30 years. Remington does not support this model any more. Pat Laib in Minnesota bought almost all the spare parts from Remington and is now the go to guy if your 3200 needs parts or service.
I own 3 of them now and have been quite satisfied with them, but they were all in good condition when I bought them.
Yes I notice Ruger has reintroduced the Red Label but on a very limited basis. 12 ga only. I suspect just to keep the fans appeased. I paid 1200 bucks for mine brand new 17yrs ago. The MSRP now is 1400. Corners are being cut somewhere.

And probably fairly soon we will know where (compared to older models).
