Abner,
Can you give me the grip-style and barrel length on 200239 so I can add it to my list?

I don't really have enough data points to answer that question with any degree of certainty. It appears from what I have that in 16-gauge guns the Deeley lever forearms are phasing in between 300450 and 300499. In 20-gauges I've seen Deeley lever forearms on some of the very earliest guns and still snap-on/-off forearms in the 20056x range.Quick question Dave. What serial number range did the snap on forearms stop in 16 and 20 gauges?
