I had to bring this home today. I knew just enough about these to be dangerous. It is a Remington Whitmore 10 Gauge with 30” twist barrels with 2 ¾” chambers. I believe it is the 1873 model, since the hammers go to halfcock when the action is open(non-rebounding locks). I also think it is a Grade 2 given the twist barrels. They sure used a nice piece of wood for the stock. Based on the serial# I am guessing this was made in 1874 or 1875.

Overall, it seems to be in good condition. The action is tight and I like this different type of lifter action. The barrels have some pitting, but they are shootable. LOP is 14”, which is good for me. I am going to load up some black powder shells tonight and try it on some sporting clays tomorrow.
