Not that I've ever heard of. When this lower priced hammerless double gun was introduced, it was offered as the K-Grade with plain extractors and Remington Steel barrels and the KED-Grade with ejectors and two-stripe Damascus barrels. By the 1903-04 Remington Arms Co. catalogue they added the KD-Grade, plain extractors and Two-stripe Damascus barrels. By the 1906 Remington Arms Co. catalogue they added the KE-Grade, with Remington steel barrels and ejectors. Up to this time the Model 1900s all had flat ribs and plain half-pistol grip stocks that were smooth around the head. In the 1906 catalogue some of the Model 1900s begin to be shown with profiled stock cheeks like the Model 1894s. Those four grades, K-, KE-, KD- and KED-Grade, all with half-pistol grip stocks and slim snap-on/off forearms were the Model 1900 offerings until Remington Arms Co. dumped their double gun business in early 1910.

Remington Arms Co. began to specifically tailor guns for competitve shooters with these Pigeon Gun offerings in their 1902 catalogues --



With 1902 being the last Grand American Handicap at live birds, they changed to this in the 1903-04 and 1904-05 catalogues --



By 1906 they added the lower priced FE Trap Gun and this was the offerings in both 1906 catalogues, the 1907, 1908, 1908-09 and 1909 catalogues --
