Crow Shooter,
Per Semmer's book the ejector marking may or may not appear on the barrels, not the frame. On the barrels there may be something like "///BED" but it could be something completely different also. Not much help. Great gun!

Peter A. Thanks Pete, if there were an E stamped on the barrel tubes then I would say the gun was modified to extractor after production for sure, lacking an E as it does.......... maybe originally built this way, maybe not, the mystery continues.

JR 14 1/8" LOP from front trigger, 1 7/8" DAC, 3" DAH. Feels like a straight grip when I hold it and my head is in the right place when I mount it quickly. It strikes me odd, after handling and mounting I was surprised by the measurements. Comes up very natural for me.

There is no mystery here. I have collected Remington 1894 and 1900 for over 35 year's.And also gunsmithing work on them all that time. The forend look's normal on this gun. The large opening at the end of the forend is on both extractor and auto ejector gun's. The ejector forend has some more milling that must be done to the back sides and at the end to fit the ejector parts,hammers ,springs, etc. Some time's an extractor gun will have a forend iron on it that is milled out for the ejector parts. Maby one in 20 gun's. The extractor is normal on this gun,those two slots are on both extractor and auto ejector guns. Terry

The two slots your refer to are on the barrel lug/dolls which I think would be for left and right ejectors as well? From what little information I could find it seems ejector guns were the norm and it makes sense from a production standpoint to use common parts/machining prior to final assembly. Thank you again.

I don't think anyone has really decoded those letters and hashmarks down the barrel tube bottoms. I've posted this information before, but if someone with a lot of Remingtons, like Bobby, add these to what he has and what is in Charles' book, maybe a pattern will emerge.
1906 12-gauge KE-Grade has /// K E Y
1909 16-gauge KE-Grade has X K E A1
1896 12-gauge AE-Grade has P A
1906 12-gauge FE Trap has /// F E G 13
1894 12-gauge BE-Grade has B J and a poorly struck E or an F
1907 CEO-Grade 12-gauge has /// M
1905 DEO-Grade 16-gauge has X O
In some cases you can get the grade as in the KE and FE. My BE-Grade has Chain Damascus barrels, and on the Remington Damascus salesman sample the Chain Damascus is labeled CHAIN J. So, B for the grade, J for the barrel material and E for ejectors?!? Hmmm....
Just from looking at my little list there seems to be a difference in the markings on the early guns, 1894 and 1896 and those from the later years 1905 to 1909. Anyone willing to share marks on 1897 to 1904 guns? I also noted that in my later guns both 16-gauges have an X and the 12-gauges all have ///.

Just got back from the local gun club where I met a friend who measured the gun and we put a couple of off hand test shots on paper.
Chambers 2 7/8"
Bores - L .796, R .803
Chokes - L .045, R .048 Both chokes start their taper 6 to 7 inches before the muzzle.
Wall thickness 6" ahead of breech R - .128, L - .127
Wall thickness before the chokes R - .040, L - .042
Shot offhand with 1 1/4 ounce lead 6 74% at 40 yards. 72% with 1 1/8 ounce 7.5's
