Ideal grade, 20 ga Archived Message Posted by Chuck Russell on November 17, 2017, 10:33 am I have been researching this 20 ga., Ideal grade shotgun for a friend. The serial number is 1160 above the high end for 1945 manufacture in the list. It has 28 " barrels. The LOP is 14 1/4". The metal finish appears to me to be original. The checkering and edges of the wood are sharp. I have added a few pictures. Is it 1945 vintage? Has the stock been shortened? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
