Yup, that's the one. It's perfectly round with just the grooves around the perimeter.
I think it's pretty neat because it's such a
very nice and
very early example (1953), but from what I can tell, it's just the "standard" model.
Remington offered some upgraded models even in 1951, and it would have been cool had my uncle "spent the big bucks" back then for one of those, but it's as plain jane as can be (although gorgeous in it's own right due to it's condition).
I think being a modified choke barrel, I'm going to shoot it, but baby it at the same time, by just using it for trap range shooting where it won't get dragged through bushes or dropped in a swamp.
