I guess I have had a run of bad luck, they do seem to be nice guns. Sorry to not be more clear, the Rem 1894 B grade 10ga broke the top lever return spring on day one in the field back in Feb '11. The Smith fixed it and I got it back about 3 weeks later. I had a good shoot that day in spite of the problem, I got 15 crows for 28 shots with it per my record of the day. I have always shot my Parker NH 10ga a little better which I think is due to a better fitting stock. This summer I had the Remington bent up a little so it is now close to the same dimensions as the NH. The Remmy is in such high condition I tend to use it less in the field. I dropped the 1900 off at the Smith's today and hopefully I'll get it back as quickly as he returned the '94 10 bore. I would buy another Remington if I saw one that appealed to me, what are the odds it would happen to the next one???????

My Remington 1900 is back home from the Smith with a new top lever spring. I used some lacquer thinner along with a toothbrush and it cleaned up very nice. A little bit of Tru-Oil and the gun looks a LOT better than it does in the earlier pictures. Looking forward to knocking down some crows with it.

Looks great Pete! Hope to see it next time I'm up at Major Waldrons.
