Default New gun show find.

Found an interesting Remington 1889,16 gauge,grade 2 with twist steel barrels.Interesting part,the barrels are 32 inchs long.They have a bit of orange peel in the bores,but I think shootable.Both barrels have .024 choke in them with .672 right bore and .675 left.I haven't measured wall thickness yet and believe them to be original.One tiny ding in right barrel which is easy fix.The action has a little play but not bad.I think this gun can be ready to hunt again this fall with just a little work. Jeff

I have a friend that is eat up with the Remington double bug , think he has around forty of them . But I’m quite sure he doesn’t have a 16 hammer that has 32” barrels .

From a 1901 Remington Arms Co. catalog --

1901 Catalog, pg 10, Remington New Model Double Barrel Shot Gun.jpg1901 Catalog, pg 11, Remington New Model Double Barrel Shot Gun.jpg

About 1906, Remington Arms Co. dropped the 32-inch 16-gauge barrels from their double gun offerings.

That gun should be sweet on the right Dove pass. I had such a pass near Mt Jackson, Virginia, back in the day and enjoyed it with a 32-inch barrel 16-gauge Ansley H. Fox.

A friend of mine who is my ffl dealer had this gun in his remington collection for years and I didn't know it.He recently had an auction with about 300 remingtons just a couple months ago.I didn't go thinking everything would go high and now end up buying it at a gun show.I feel I got a good deal on it anyway.Cant be many of these around.Think I'll pay my friend a visit on Monday and see if he misses it.
