I’ve had 3 Remington with Damascus barrels. Two 1894 B grades and a 1900. All three guns had the thickest barrel walls of any shotgun I have owned. MBWT in all three was over .045 with zero pitting. I shot lower pressure (8000 psi) nitro powder commercial shells in all three. In one B grade I regularly shot modern target loads.

If I can get it for my price, I think I'll pick it up. Is RST still making the ower pressure paper shells that I would plan to shoot in it? What other shell companies in today's market make lower pressure loads, pls?? RWTF

RST is producing low pressure loads in limited quantities, but they're pricey. B & P Comp Ones are nice, low pressure loads ......... 12 ga., 1 oz., modest velocity. Polywad is out of the low pressure shotshell retail business.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I've got an 1894 D grade ejector that's in parts. It got too close to a fire of some sort at some time in it's life, so the forearm is charred. The buttstock is salvageable I think.
A few small hardware pieces were missing from the pile of scattered parts that it was when bought the mess. Story was it had been sent to a Master Restorer for a make-over and nothing ever done to her. When it was finally gotten back after 2yrs those parts were missing.
Nice case colors yet and clean bores. IIRC the ser# is lower than the one in Semmers book. But I might be remembering wrong. That happens now. I will check.
Should put this one into the 'To be Done' rotation.

In my opinion the Remington 1894 may be the finest American sxs. I'm a big AH Fox fan but have been very impressed by the 1894's I have handled. When the right one at the right price comes my way I will certainly close the deal.

If I might inquire, what is your opinion of the 1900 series shotguns. Am "on the fence" about buying this 1900 12 bore-kinda waiting until I scope out the low pressure shells available and cost. Your comment is most impressive, if you appreciate the quality in the AH Fox guns, and then also embrace the quality of the Remington 1894. RWTF

I own/shoot two 1900's, one 16 gauge (5.5 lbs) another 12 gauge w/light weight frame (6 lbs). Both corner well but don't have the lovely charm of a graded Remington - mechanically perfect but I like some engraving! **I wonder if Joe Loy (Remington master engraver) was related to Myrna Loy (one of my favorite 30's/40's actresses)??
