I have a 1873 hammer lifter, 1889 hammer gun, 1894 in B,C,and F grades. Also have a number of Parkers, but firmly believe Remington made a gun as good as anybody. You don't see the B,C,D,E, or Special because they made so many of the guns for the working man. It's kind of nice they aren't so collectable, it's keeps the price down a little for those of us who like them. Paul
