Our Assessment: This Remington 3200 Special Trap is a 12 gauge competition shotgun manufactured in 1974, from the 1973-1980 production run of the Model 3200 series. It features 30-inch ported barrels, a single selective mechanical trigger, and a purpose-built target configuration intended for serious trap shooting. Weighing just under 10 pounds, the Special Trap offers the mass and balance desired for smooth swings, reduced recoil effect, and consistent follow-through on rising targets.
A standout feature of the 3200 design is its free-floating lower barrel, intended to enhance regulation consistency and barrel performance, along with the unique top-cover locking system that gives the action exceptional strength and a distinctive mechanical layout. The shotgun is further equipped with a fully adjustable stock including adjustable comb and butt hardware, allowing the shooter to tailor both fit and point of impact. The 3200’s engineering concepts and competition focus are often viewed as influential precursors to later premium target guns such as those from Krieghoff. Overall, this example represents a classic American-made target shotgun with innovative design features and enduring appeal among clay shooters.
