Pete, I have a 1882 Remington hammer gun in 10ga. She's a tad heavy - little over 9 #'s - barrels are thick. Must have been a goose gun. It was one made for the rifle barrel liner - the reason I bought it, but the liner was never found. There were four tapped holes in the rib for sights - two for and two aft that I plugged, and you can see the cut out area in the chamber where the liner would lock in place. A missing right main spring, extractor, and two hammers had to be replaced, but she's back in business. I just use it on the SC's course with Chamber Mates for 12ga but have on occasion shot 10 ga shells in it for fun. Wish I still hunted as I would love to take some game with it.

Forgot - my 94 F grade has the straight grip but the forearm was made by a trap shooter - looked like sh*t, so I had Brad make a new one. Had him make it like the one in Semmers book - a semi-beavertail forearm. I'm not a big fan of semi-beavertail forearms, but the gun looks really nice and shoots great. Also had a guy from Ohio that attends our SxS Shoots re-blue the barrels - turned out great - nice black barrels.
