Remington Society

Thank you gentlemen. DieNusse1, I have had a few guns case hardened already and am VERY confident of the skill of the person who is doing it. But I appreciate the alert and offer to suggest a good shop. The only beef I have with the craftsman I have used is the time line can be very long. I can see ...

I am beginning the process of rehabilitating a couple of well used (and abused) 1894 BE with Damascus barrels. I have Semmers book but could not find a complete answer to this question. He notes the receiver is CCH'd and the trigger guard and top lever are typically CCH'd if a lower grade (assuming ...

Thanks dieNusse1. I know my question was kinda both vague and in some way completely obvious. Of course they get pinned because they are weak. My bad! But when I look at the other well known American brands from that era (hammerless, roughly 1895 to 1925), Parker, Fox, Ithaca etc (leaving out the si...

Compared to other guns from the same era that I see, there seems to be an incredibly high percentage of Remington 1894's and 1900's that have had a reinforcing pin set in the stock cheeks. Can anyone speak to this?

Researcher, I made an error in my identification of the safety plunger spring, which is the correct name for the part I was originally referring to. Should have said part #37, not #59. dieNusse1, What I didn't know is how much I can bend it and have it work properly. Sounds like, with gravity helpin...

Okay, I have the stock off of the 1907 M1894 BE. The problem with the safety is the safety spring, part #36, has kinda given up the ghost. It's there but doesn't have much spring left in it. I'm guessing there are no replacement parts available and either this spring might be able to be repaired or ...

Researcher, thank you. Practically the first thing I did was compare positions of the sear axle pin with my 1900. The separate firing pins had slipped my mind. My first 1894 is off getting a bit of well needed TLC. CJO has been at work on the barrels, bringing the Damascus back to life and it needed...

Thanks very much dieNusse1.

While there may be ten years separating the two 1894's, in weight it is less than an ounce, with the later gun having ever so slightly heavier barrels/forend and a lighter receiver/stock.

I have three Remington hammerless I would like to determine date of production. I have Semmer's book on order but have not yet received it. If anyone can help it would be appreciated. I have two Model 1894 BE 12 gauge Damascus barreled. First is serial number 106202 and the second is 136009. I also ...

Thanks dieNusse1. That helps a lot. There is absolutely no sign of a hole or indent from the circular head of the spring on the wood in that area. Makes me think a piece of wood is just outright missing. But if it's missing, it's been gone for a very long time. Think I will take one of my 1894's apa...

Hi. Just joined and this is my first post. I have two Model 1894 BE Damascus and one Model 1900 with fluid steel. The 1900 is a bit of a beater and I have been fiddling around with it. Stock was a mess so I removed it and have refinished it. I'm using this gun to get familiar with the design before ...
