My antique 1900 Remy 12

[Stepmac]

Bought this old shotgun at a local pawnshop. Had a leather pad which rotten off almost immediately. A very old Remy. Cheap. They stopped making these 1900s in 1910. Almost no marking. Engraved with Remington Arms Co on the sides of the box lock. Solid steel barrels. Nice bores, no ejectors. Very, very basic, but I knew that Remington had some relationship with Parker so I thought maybe its innards might be Parkish. So I bought it. What did I get?

30" tubes, shiny bores, locks up tight. No scratches, dings, cracks. No dents or noticeable marks on the barrels. Barrels dull gray, silver receiver. Case colors on water table. Nice crisp triggers. I have no idea what the chokes are, probably some choke. I'll shoot it as if it's a F and M. 2.5" chambers, so I'll shoot RIO 2.5ers. I'll order some 7.5s and 5s. I'm an old man and kind of tired just like this Remy. As Crocodile Dundee said, "We be mates."
