Custom deluxe = embellished models you know the engraving on the action
Some of them did, and most didn't. They only "engraved" them a few years, then quit it. To me, it was just another place for moisture to settle and encourage rust or dust.
We won't even jabber about the J-locks............
I think the stocks they put on the BDLs in the mid-'70s were the best ones they've put on the rifles. Of course, they had to change them to the horrible skip-line pattern the next year. They just HAD to screw up a good thing, that's the Remington way.
I only own two Remingtons, one made in the 1920s, and the other an 870 Express clunker.
I probably won't own another, either. Remington just keeps screwing good stuff up.
