Here it is. It's a Remington 1894 10 gauge AE (ejectors), with 32" Remington steel (fluid) barrels made in the last year of production, 1910. 10ga 1894's are uncommon and fluid steel pretty rare. The gun had been refinished, barrels reblued, stock and checkering redone. There is on old red recoil pad with a duck or goose on it, anybody know what brand pad it is? Chambers are 2 7/8", Chokes are right .037 and left .042. It would have followed me home from the KTP but the drop is more than my frame can handle. Charlie had commented to me last year that if I see another good deal on a 10ga 1894 to let him know. Now he has one :-)

very cool, looks like it is in great shape, now all we need to see is the Dr Pepper can

I like the recoil pad bird, perfect for a 10 gauge

If it has steel barrels it is not an AE-Grade. An AE-Grade has two-stripe Damascus barrels. It would be either an AER- or AEO-Grade, and from the pictures it is an AER-Grade. Something quite unusual with that extra inch and a half of top tang?!? Normal top tang about this long --



I believe that is the first 10-gauge I've ever seen on the later style action. Great find!! Congrats!!

The recoil pad looks like a late Fray-Mershon or an early Pachmayr but with that fowl on the face I suspect it was a proprietary made for Sears, Montgomery Ward, Western Auto, etc.

Dave, the top tang is unusual and longer than what I have seen before. I can't imagine why anyone would lengthen the top tang unless it was done to hide or repair a crack in the wood. I How did you identify the "late action", by pin placement in side of frame? What year did the later style action come out?

Like the recoil pad. Looks good on that gun. There is a lot og life left in that old gun.
