The length of pull is just shy of 14.5”. The drop at comb is 1.5” and the drop at heel is 1.5”. The shotgun weighs 8lbs 6oz with the 12 gauge barrel installed. The forend shows very light handling with a few small compressions. There are no chips or cracks. The stock shows scattered surface level lines and minor compressions. There are two notable lines on the belly near the toe and a compression on the left flank near the heel. The rubber butt pad has a stripped lower screw that will need to be replaced. There is a very small chip missing from the leading edge of the pommel. There are no visible cracks. The vented butt pad is semi rigid and shows wear from age and rubbing. Overall the furniture set is in Very Good+ condition.
Type of Finish: Blue

The 12 Gauge and 20 Gauge barrel sets show some very light lines from use and very minor plastic fouling in the forcing cones. The 410 and 28 gauge show only barely visible lines from use and barely visible plastic fouling. In this writer’s opinion the bores rate 10/10.

Our Assessment: This Remington Model 3200 Competition Skeet Set is a complete four-barrel kit from 1980, featuring 27.5-inch barrels in 12, 20, 28, and .410, all with factory fixed Skeet chokes perfect for skeet matches with sub gauge categories. The barrel sets feature the desirable free-floating bottom barrel, one of the 3200’s major engineering improvements, ensuring consistent point of impact and reduced heat transfer during long strings of fire. The furniture is equally well executed, with a semi-beavertail forend incorporating a full finger shelf, paired with a semi-pistol-grip, fluted straight-comb stock fitted with a vented rubber pad. The checkered stock cheeks are a particularly refined detail, adding both grip and visual appeal to an already well-appointed skeet gun.
The Model 3200 traces its heritage back to the Remington Model 32 of the 1930s, a design admired for its sleek mechanical layout and the unique split-lump locking system that would later inspire the famed Krieghoff K-32 and then the K-80. When Remington revived the concept in the 1970s as the Model 3200, they strengthened the action, refined the trigger system, and introduced features tailored to serious clay shooters, including the free-floating bottom barrel seen here. This four-gauge set reflects the peak of 3200 production: robust, smooth, and purpose-built, offering a complete skeet package with the versatility and craftsmanship that made the 3200 a favorite among dedicated competitors.
