New (to me) Remington B Grade 10 gauge
 
My first 10 gauge, a Remington 1894, grade B, 10 gauge SS#117301is finally home.
The barrels are in excellent condition and the bottom of the lug is marked 68 and 34. I now there is number of devoted short 10-gauge shooters in this forum. I would appreciate any information, comments or advise you can offer me for the gun and shooting a short 10-gauge.
Thank you in advance, Bill K

Most of what I know about loading short Tens came off the short 10 sticky top of the reloading page. It's the best reference out there.

That Remington is in great shape!

Bill,

The 68 & 34 (you would add a "3" to the front of each number when only stamped with two digits) on the barrel lug is the pellet count for each barrel showing per cent of shot in a 30" circle at 40 yards, as it left the factory. With many Remington SxSs you will see a three digit number on the barrel lug.

What a great gun, and very scarce in B Grade and ten gauge. Now you need to invest in Semmer's Remington shotgun book.

They are Damascus barrels.

Looks like the typical Three-Blade Damascus found of B-/BE-Grades. The B-Grade being the entry-level "made to order" Remington Hammerless Double, they are sometimes found with other Damascus patterns, like this early BE-Grade with Chain J barrels --
