Those Remingtons are mechanically appealing guns to me. They have an understated rock solid quality to them.

That is actually a model 1894. They are real workhorses.

Thanks gents, I sorta picked up the same info on another forum but not definitively as yet. A SxS enthusiast identified it as a 1900 and that's what Joe told me. I'll tell him it's a 1894 next time we shoot together.

Mechanically they are the same. The later 1900 had a snap-on forend and was not as finely finished of a gun.

I've read that the very last ones had 4 bites. Interesting engineering, one bolt is described as a split lock. Parkers inside are consistently nicely made, I kind of suspect Remingtons might be close or equal. I wonder if anyone knows how they compared in cost in 1909 to Parkers?

Remington discontinued all their double guns in 1910, and their catalogue that year listed the Model 1900 (the lowest priced gun) starting at $30 and the better grade 1894 starting at $45. However, it was sometimes possible to find the Remingtons at a discount - for example, the 1908 Sears catalogue offered the Model 1900 for $23.50. Compare this with the initial price for a Parker Trojan of $25.50 in 1912 and the VH for $34.50 that same year. I've heard it said that Parker was losing money selling Trojans for $25.50 and they soon had to increase the price. The Remingtons were good guns, and I own several Model 1894s and 1900s, but I don't think the workmanship measures up to Parker standards. |

Thanks, Jack! I've had a AE 1894 in hand but I returned it due to a oval/dented muzzle so I never got to look inside it. Parkers are Parkers and always have smooth triggers and nicely fitted parts, inside and out.
