What truth. The fact one had to have a few spare parts and two clues to own one and if they did could put a few 100,000 rounds through one
I still have maybe a dozen and none have ever worn out and I would be scared to know what went through my 12ga skeet and large frame 20ga skeet
Like I said before someone back in the day holding one of these old remingtons kicked your ass and you have never got over it

No gun model has done more to introduce new shooters to skeet or trap fields. Cheap, easy to keep working ,fit most people and work like I said if one has a few clues
Cheers
