The new crow killer - Remington 1900

[Mark Brady]

You're probably right Ed. I have a Joseph Lang 10 gauge trap/pigeon gun with 32 inch barrels that feels lighter and swings better than my Remington 1900 with 28 inch tubes. That being said, the Remingtons were made to compete with Bakers, Ithacas and others of the time. I don't know what my Lang cost in 1892 but it was a hell of a lot more than the Remington.

mark: the others of the times?... circa 1900...most notably, parkers and smiths. and least we forget the lefever lefevers...course when you interject european guns into the equation, then everything changes...there is just no comparison.

its as if we were talkin about classic 1960's era american sports cars and someone asked: so how do they compare to the european sports cars?

anybody lookin for a nice 1900? take a look at auctionarms item #11590178.

Would sure like ed to explain to us how someone with such gentle sensibilities can sell double guns. Seems to me like he would either quit selling double guns and join PETA or sell double guns and cease making public anti-hunting posts on double gun BBSs like this one. I guess only time will tell if ed makes peace with himself and joins PETA or sells out his conscience and continues to sell double guns to hunters, because it is pretty obvious he isn't going to answer to my question here.

Ed's posted information says he lives in New Hampshire. Has anyone ever met Ed, or seen him at a shooting event? Can't be that far to get to one of the numerous New England shoots. Where you been Ed?

Do you have any anti-hunting videos on UTube you want us to watch?

I think everyone who has been on this site for any period of time knows the at I enjoy crow hunting and find it a great way to get a lot of wing shooting on live game with Parker doubles.

I have strayed off the path, shot and sold a Fox Sterlingworth, a Baker, a Stevens an now have a couple of Remingtons that I enjoy.

There is a lot of history in the old doubles, some day perhaps I'll have an Ithaca or a Lefever. They are all interesting to me in their own way. Some are better than others.

The Remington 1900 is not a Parker, it is not as finely built, but it sure was a bargain and it sure shoots well for me and I like it. Owning and shooting a double such as the 1900 makes me realize and appreciate the care and quality that went into a Trojan, and it's easy to forget about the quality in a Trojan when it is contrasted against V's through A's on this site.

This site is good way to learn about Parkers, other doubles and even something about hunting (see hunting with Parker forum).

Hunting may not be about the kill but without the kill there is no hunt. None of us need to shoot an animal for subsistence. Eating what you shoot does not justify a kill. Many species are and have been killed because they are a predator and or a nuisance. Crows fall into both categories. They are prolific and they are managed with seasons and regulations. I enjoy shooting them, obviously you do not.

Ed, I have no idea what motivates you to make the posts that you do and in the manner that you do. You write in a manner as if you are illiterate but I am pretty sure you are not. An attempt at humor I guess but often it is using humor to mask an attack on another. I don't appreciate that and frankly I think you ruined a good thread on a "find" that I have enjoyed and shared with others.

I don't think anti-hunting sentiment has a place in the PGCA forums any more than anti-gun sentiment has here. To me it seems you enjoy stirring a pot, guess what so do I at times, but I know this is not the place for it.

Pete I certainly agree with you. When I hunt pheasant, bobwhite, sharptails etc... with my Brittanys it is a bloodsport and about the hunt, not the food. The kill is an integral part of the hunt. I also field trial my dogs in the National Shoot To Retrieve Assocation. The picture to the left was taken at one of their field trials. This is a competition for bird dogs that includes the shooting and retrieving of pen raised birds. This is also bloodsport. I pass shoot pigeons. They also shoot birds for some AKC events as I have gunned for them.

But ed is trying to cut the sport shooting of crows out from the herd and I want him to take on the whole herd.

ed there is a thread over on the Doublegun BBS about the ethics of competition pigeon shooting. I think the audience for your anti-hunting anti-crow shooting arguments will certainly be larger there than here. Of course the probability of offending a prospective purchaser of your products will be larger too.

Best,

Mike
