Nice gun Pete
The barrels are Boston 2S.J. pattern, commonly found on B grade guns. The gun was originally an ejector gun. The ejector parts are missing. If you are interested in restoring the ejectors, I know a Remington collector that should have the original parts, let me know. Brad |

Thanks Brad, I want to get my NH barrels out to you too.
I wished I knew more about Remington doubles. I found this Remington cutaway from one of Dave Noreen's posts on the Remington Collectors site, shows a 1894 extractor gun (10) with the cut out in the forend iron for ejectors (19) but no ejector parts are shown that I can see or recognize, although perhaps it's a schematic of both? I am hoping others who know Remington's will chime in. I really like this gun! Maybe Dave Noreen can add some insight. The gun is so tight and unmolested if it was converted from ejector to extractor it would seem it may have been deliberate. http://www.remingtonsociety.com/foru...&view=previous |

Pete, You need to buy "Remington Double Shotguns" by Charles Semmer. It's available through the Double Gun Journal. A wonderful book on Remington doubles. I thoroughly enjoy my copy.

Pete
A few weeks ago, I came across your 1894's twin. It has a bit less condition than yours but it is also a 32'' barreled 10ga BE. At 9lbs 14oz, it's a bit heavier. Also, the Damascus type is different. Etoile 3 B.P. (thanks Drew). I'm looking forward to getting it in the field one of these days. Cheers Marcus

Pete - what a great gun!! Unbelievable condition too!! Must have sat in a closet for generations without so much as a 'wish' to shoot it but only a few times.
