You make a very good point. However faking the upgrade of a Remington 1900 would be akin to faking the upgrade of a Parker Trojan would it not. I am sure we will never know how this 1900 came to be made with upgraded wood and a straight grip stock but I highly doubt it is the product of a forger. I think most of them were working on Parkers, Winchesters and Colts.
