I find this thread interesting. The first 3200 I purchased was a new 28" barreled One of One Thousand fixed choke skeet gun. I shot the gun, not sure how many rounds, and a small piece of wood chipped off the forearm at the back end closest to the receiver. To the best of my knowledge the "updates" had been done when the gun was made.

I gave the gun to a very talented friend of mine. He glass bedded the forearm iron and then built a custom stock for me. My guess is I've probably not put more than 10,000 rounds thru it with no additional problems.

My second 3200 was also a One of One Thousand trap gun. I purchased it used. It also has had the updates. I've had not issues with it.

My only complaint is these guns are not light and I am getting older and apparently weaker. On the positive side both of my 3200 have what I consider as good or better trigger than any of the guns I own and that includes 3 Krieghoffs. Lock time is super and both triggers break crisply at 4 lbs.

I keep hearing and reading I need to make Pat Laib my best friend and keep his phone number on speed dial. Since I'm no longer shooting either gun in competition and, therefore, not putting many rounds thru the guns, I don't suspect I'm going to experience any problems. Time will tell.
