OK

Whatever..he was there in the 70's 80;s and 90's. He was one of the ones who helped to make the decision to stop production of the 788. It was still a good shootin gun. The first one I had was given to me at the old Remington Farms complex in Md. It was the only one I wish I still had.... a 44 mag. For about 10 yrs we hosted the National Hunting and fishing Day at RF. It was really neat. I helped run the trap shooting field. Those kids rreally went through the shells(20 ga) and I got to keep alll the empties That was fun times and Remington really believed in spending money to advance the hunting and shooting sports. Those kids got to shoot 4 shells each at those clay targets but they could come back thjrough the line as many times as they wanted. And they did. We were busy shootin and cleanin those 1100's till we closed it down. A real shame that Dupont sold the Comapny. The Farm didn't go with the sale and Remington Farms was no more
