My new 10 Bore - Remington 1894 B grade
 

Just got this today and I am more than pleased :clap:. 8 3/4 pounds, 32" F/F Remington 1894 B Grade 10 gauge. Extractor gun. Interesting that Remington stamped the pattern number on the barrel lug as I understand it. Shot with 1 1/4 ounce 8 it shot 334/511 and 368/511. Looks to be all original and it fits me perfect (but I don't know why) 14 1/8 LOP, 1 3/4" DAC and 3" DAH.

Looking at the forend iron it looks to me like it was designed to have ejectors and I wonder if they were all built that way. According to the Blue Book extractor guns (Rem 1894's) bring a 15% premium over ejectors (scratching head).

From the information I can find a B grade Rem 1894 in 10 Bore is just slightly less rare then hens teeth.

nice, the money is flying free at the lester house:eek: now new barrel finish on the NH :rolleyes:

Pete, Congratulations on a great gun! Real nice buddy!

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.

are the barrels wire twist or damascus...nice gun i like the rem. 94s..i have a 12 ga 94 with ejectors and 26 inch ordance still barrels...thats a nice 10 ga you are luckey to have found it iun any kinda shape.... charlie

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.

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.

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

Those are nice Remingtons!

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.
