take the barrels off the frame and clean the locking lugs. then try it , then if that doesnt work strip the whole thing down and clean all moving parts. but remember not to remove any steel because then you would have an expensive problem on your hands. though i would take it to a gunsmith and see w...

well i was tinkering with my new 1889, and i dropped a 2 3/4 shell in and it fit. i know these were made with 2 5/8 chambers. ive heard that some 89s were made with 2 3/4 chambers and called trap guns, is this what i have. i felt the rear of the chambers and there definitly not been tampered with so...

can you read these articles on the computer? i'll try and take some pics of the bore and attach them to the next reply

hey i just got an 1889 shotgun which supposedly had good bores, but really didnt. i want to know how bad does the shotgun have to be to not be shootable. the pitts dont seem that bad, theres just alot of them. maybe only .002 deep at the most. they start at the end of the chambers and gets better to...

dearbonized is lower grade then damascus. please dont saw the barrels
unless theyre already sawed. and make sure its safe and always use blackpowder. or ive heard if the barrels are in good cond. you can install chamber inserts to one gauge smaller and use regular loads, but do this at your own risk.

ok, im going to get this 1889 grd 3 damascus, made in 1893.
he says you need an ffl , do you really need an ffl or should i ask him if under the circumstances if he could sell me it without an ffl?

you might try the parts section of this sight,or see if you can have a gunsmith make one for you like http://www.brileys.com they are very compitent or if it means that much to you see if you can find and old junker with similer hammers and buy that and switch both out. many other brand shotguns dup...

ok, the thread is http://www.remingtonsociety.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=107 they say 1oz. eley or gamebore loads work fine in thier twist barrels i wonder why those 2 3/4 shells fit in thiers, also, the vintagers started making 2 1/2 shells that are low pressure for like $48 per 250rnds. and also, ...

oh, i thought that they were shoting those damascus guns with low pressure shells, i think the thread is called "1889 2 3/4 chamber load" or somthin like that, im pretty sure they were talkin about using 6500 psi or lower shells, i also talked to briley and they said and that if the damasc...
