Default Remington 1894 AE 10 gauge

I went bottom feeding again and caught a big one . A Remington 1894 10ga, built in 1905, 30" full and fuller, 9 lbs with ejectors and good dimensions; 1 3/4" x 2 1/2" by 14 1/8". Barrels are free of dents and shiny with no pitting.

Barrel lug stamp is 26 and 45 which I think means 326 and 345 out 511 pellets (1 1/4 ounce 8) for about 65% and 68%.

Forend wood and the trigger guard look like it pushed down a few fences. Bead was pushed down bending the rib a little. Ejectors are in time, kick strong but if I use a fired hull that is sticking in the chamber just slightly the ejectors won't fire. With snap caps and new hulls it sends you chasing after them. I could understand if they fired and the hull stuck but not firing has me and one gunsmith stumped.

I guess I will try to find a better piece of forend wood if I can or get this repaired if possible. Put a taller bead on it and go shoot stuff.

Just took it over to the trap range. From 27 yards using 19gr of Red Dot and 1 1/8 ounce of 7.5's it was hard to miss with it. Ejectors worked fine.

looks like you have another fine crow killer there...i really like the old rem 94 s... pete i do know these 94 s are really touchy about the screw thru the trigger guard to the stock if to tite it will not let gun cock itself..1/4 of a turn makes a differance in my 12 ga 94 and it has ejectors... charlie

I like the Remington doubles too Charlie and I think it will be a fine crow and fowl gun too. No issues with cocking and I hope it stays that way. I think Remington doubles are overlooked and a great value. This is a great fitting 10ga with ejectors and I got it off Gunbroker for under $500.

Nice find Pete. Looks like your 10ga 1894 BE now has a stable mate. My 32" 10ga BE with the C-grade damascus is still waiting it's turn to go to the stocker's...

Cheers
Marcus

Thanks. You have a good memory Marc, my 1894 B grade 10ga is an extractor gun in high condition. It's nice to look at but I think this old A grade beater will be a better shooter. I hope you get your B grade 10 to the stocker soon, the Remmy's are nice guns and the big 10's are fun to shoot.

Hey Pete,

What are the rest of the components you are using? What pressueres are you getting from 19 grs of Red Dot? By the way, nice gun and a good buy!

Thanks,

Jack Kuzepski
