REMINGTON 3200 565 OUT OF 1000 SHOTGUN

SERIAL NUMBER: SK0565. BARREL: 27 ½". GAUGE: 2 GA. CHOKE: SKEET. CHAMBER: 2 ¾". MANUFACTURED: 1970s. This shot gun is an incredibly rare, investment-grade piece of American firearms history: a Remington Model 3200 Over/Under 12-Gauge Shotgun from the strictly limited, highly sought-after "One of 1000" Skeet Edition commemorative run. Bearing serial number SK0565, this premium target gun is explicitly Unit Number 565 of only 1,000 ever produced, serialized sequentially by the factory from SK0001 to SK1000. Built on Remington's legendary low-profile break-action receiver, it features gorgeous, fine factory scroll engraving framing the iconic "ONE OF 1000" banners. Outfitted with premium checkered target walnut wood and a crisp, lightning-fast single selective mechanical trigger, this is the ultimate centerpiece for any serious Remington collector or competitive clay shooter.While early Model 3200 receivers below serial number 30,000 were historically prone to structural stock cracking and tang stress, this specific firearm has undergone the full, official Remington factory modernization update. This status is explicitly verified by three distinct physical markers. First, the presence of two visible Allen/hex head cap screws installed into the bottom corners of the breech face confirms the mechanical reinforcement of the action. Second, a factory-punched "dot" indicator sits definitively between the prefix and digits of the serial number, reading as SK.0565.Finally, the barrel assembly bears the factory date code "W O 2," indicating an August 1977 production timeline under inspector number 2. This code proves the firearm was returned to the Remington factory in Ilion, New York, during the height of the late-1970s recall program. CONDITION: Excellent. The left side of the receiver has a very faint handling / storage mark. The left side of the stock has two very faint abrasions. The bores are bright and smooth. NICE LOOKING PIECE. Operates normally. MODERN 26-27
