My antique 1900 Remy 12

[J.B. Books]

Remington doubles are under appreciated vintage shotguns IMO and I have found them to be great shooters and solid well designed guns. Their low grade guns, A grade model 1894 and the K grade aka Model 1900 are utilitarian hardware store guns lacking any embellishment. I read somewhere that Remington was fortunate to have not been sued for infringing on the Anson and Deeley patent. I have an AED 10ga that is one of my favorite fowlers, a gun that can deliver 90%+ plus patterns at 40 yards with both barrels. I also have a 1900 12ga, fluid steel barrels with ejectors. I bought it for a song and it turned out to be the tightest shooting 12ga I have with it's left barrel, 85% at 40 yards. I shoot both guns well in the field, they fit. High grade Remington doubles are not seen often but they are truly beautiful, they command a high price if in good condition and the engraving on them is more pleasing to me than many high grade Parkers. Enjoy your new gun.

Thank you, and I will. I buy and shoot only old shotguns. I'm not a collector of any one kind, rather I'm a "one of each" kinda guy. So I have two Parkers, one a SBT. An LC Smith O grade (their lowest graded gun). A Remy 1900 12 which is a very nice inexpensive shotgun. My dad's old Knickerbocker 20, a Spanish Astra 12, (fancy engraving) a Lefever I grade (also their lowest graded gun) and a very fine, refurbished Fox Sterly 12. The Fox came with its original Leg-oh-mutton case. Truthfully I could get along just fine with the Fox gun, which is a jewel of course, but darn it I like old guns.
