That's a lovely gun. I don't remember seeing a top lever like that.

The Remington Whitmore was known for it's unique choke design. Those I have seen began their taper just forward of the forcing cone, to it's tightest at about mid-bore, and then tapered back out to the muzzle.

Difficult to understand the mechanics of such a design being an effective choke as we know it.
Do I understand it to be a sort of ‘hour glass’ internal shape? .

Bruce that is a wonderful Whitmore. I have always liked that feature of the 1873 where it takes the non-rebounding locks back to half cock when open.
I have a grade 1 in 10 gauge that is nice and I really should shoot it more. I have always wanted a higher grade 1873 in a 12. Everything about that gun is beautiful. Enjoy! |

Thank you Jay. When opening the action the hammers are retracted only far enough to relieve the spring tension on the firing pins, there are two more notches, half cock and full cock.

Thought it would be interesting to measure the distance between the fireing pins for comparison to Parker frames.
1 1/16” is equivalent to a Parker 1/2 frame. When attempting to remove the barrels from the frame, note the hammers must be fully cocked or the barrels will not release.
