Pete,

Remington dropped production of their SxS's in favor or those new fangled pumps and the Remington built Browning Auto 5, the Remongton Model 11. At the time it was probably a good business decision. Look at all the Remington pumps and autoloaders that have been built at a profit for Remington!

I've recently gained an appreciation for the Remington 1894 SxS after seeing a friend's Bachelder-restored 1894's, a 12 gauge chain Damascus and a 10 gauge. Wow! Those long actions look fantastic with new case colors!

Mark
