Remington Model 32

Post by hvac »

I was looking at a Remington model 32 the guy is stuck on saying everything is original so my question is did Remington come out with a model 32 with a kick pad and a two barrel set because I can,t find anything on the internet and what would be a fair price to pay thanks

Are the barrels marked Remington? Are they both serial numbered to the gun? Are they both 12Ga.? We do not quote prices since we can't handle the gun. Jay Huber RSA

MODEL 32 INFORMATION

Post by Tom Regel »

THE MODEL 32 O/U WAS OFFERED ONLY IN 12 GA. REMINGTON ORIGNALLY PRODUCED THE GUN WITH DOUBLE TRIGGERS. SOON AFTER THESE GUNS WERE SHIPPED REMINGTON OFFERED A SINGLE TRIGGER RETROFIT ON ALL GUNS PURCHASED. THE 32 WAS OFFERED IN FIELD GRADE, TRAP GRADE, SKEET GRADE AND A SUPER GRADE CALLED PREMIER THAT YOU COULD ADD TO YOUR ORDER WHICH INCLUDED SOME ABSOLUTELY LOVELY WOOD. . I HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF PREMIER GRADE SKEET GUNS.
MANY WHO PURCHASED REMINGTON 32 GUNS ORDERED EXTRA SETS OF BARRELS IN VARIOUS LENGTHS AND CHOKES. FINALLY, SOME HIGH-END GUNSMITHS OFFERED AFTER PRODUCTION RIB INSTALLATION AND ALSO OFFERED MATCHING BARRELS IN 20, 28 AND 410 GAUGES. RECENTLY, I SHOT SUCH A SET AND TRIED MY BEST TO BUY THE WHOLE SET....BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HOPE THIS HAS BEEN USEFUL REGARDING THE MODEL 32.
REGARDS,
TOM

I owned four 32s and all had pads and my current Premier has two sets of barrels. One set is 28" skeet/skeet and the other 30" full/full. My guess is that the original owner (who was a well known financier in Dallas) ordered those barrels for quail and ducks. He also had the engraving deleted. This gun balances better than the any of the other three that I had owned. As a point of interest, one of the field grades had 26" barrels marked IM/IM which I foolishly sold. :( It was nothing special but it was a pleasure to carry and I shot it well.

1938

Post by Researcher »

The first catalogue I have that shows the No. 32 is the undated pocket catalogue of about 1932 or 3, pre DuPont. It shows the double trigger No. 32A with 30-inch plain barrels as standard and 28- or 32-inch barrels to order. The double triggered No. 32 TC "Target" grade had 28-, 30- or 32-inch vent rib barrels. The third offering was the No. 32S "Trap Special" grade with 28-, 30-, or 32-inch solid rib barrels. This catalogue states "Eventually we will have a single trigger for these guns but for the time being double triggers will be supplied. Later the single trigger can be fitted at a moderate extra charge."

According to the 1938 Dealer's Price List the No. 32A "Standard" Grade had a wholesale price of $100.80 and a retail price of $126. A raised solid rib was $6/$8. Extra barrels were $52.50/$60. The choice of barrel lengths was 26-, 28-, or 30-inch with choice of boring -- full, modified, improved cylinder or cylinder. Higher grades were the No. 32D "Tournament" grade for $232.50/$276.50; No. 32E "Expert" grade for $276.25/$326.50; and the No. 32F "Premier" grade for $350.60/$411.50. Grip style and stock dimensions to order on the higher grades, $13.10/$15.00 extra on the No. 32A.

The Trap gun was the No. 32TC "Target" grade for $123.35/$154.90 with 30- or 32-inch vent rib barrels. An extra set of vent rib barrels for the No. 32TC was $67.80/$80.40.

The No. 32 "Skeet" grade came with 26- or 28-inch barrels with "Remington Special Skeet boring." With a plain barrel $103.40/$129; with solid rib barrels $109.40/$137; and with vent rib barrels $118.70/$149.40.

All the No. 32s were offered in 12-gauge only. The only gun that regularly came with a pad was the No. 32TC, which is shown with a Hawkins with the heart-shaped holes. A recoil pad was $4.65/$5.50 extra on any Remington gun.

The No. 32 offerings in 1939 were the same, and by January 2, 1942, the offerings were still the same but prices were up sharply. In the 1947 catalogue the No. 32s are pictured but overstamped "Not Available in 1947."

My Model 32 S Trap also has the original factory Hawkins pad on it as well. Is there any old brochures ,or owners photos of the D grade in any configuration? I have never seen a D grade M 32 offered for sale in 30 plus years of looking . Any RSA members seen one , or care to post a photo on this blog ? I doubt within the Great depression years , there's less than 6-12 D grades produced? No factory records? Thanks, Joe/ rem32t/c.

Why would someone pull up an eight year old thread and add to it rather than start a new thread?

Carrier is the same on 12, 16, and 20 Standard. Operating handles were blued. The new ones have a dimple on the bottom and the back so you can't get them mixed up and lose one. Like I did.
