Ideal Long Range
Posted by Doug Freemyer on June 4, 2018, 8:05 pm
I have an Ideal Grade with 32 inch barrels with 3 inch chambers. "Long Range" is stamped on the trigger tang but not the barrel lug. SN 80763 was recorded as a 12 gauge Ideal with 32-inch barrels. It was finished in 1925, but it wasn't recorded as having 3-inch chambers or being in the Long Range configuration. Records do not indicate that it was returned to the factory for additional work. My thought is that this gun was returned at a later date and rechambered. A similar example was posted back in September 2013. Any thoughts on this gun are appreciated. [img] [/img][img] [/img]
