Remington Ordnance Steel was introduced in 1897 for the 1894 Hammerless Double with a reported 110,000 psi ultimate tensile strength with an elastic limit of 60,000 psi
It is assumed the Remington Steel used on the A Grade Hammerless Model of 1894 starting in 1897, K Grade (Model 1900) Hammerless, and Model of 1894 Hammerless Grade “F.E.” Trap Gun (introduced in 1906) is similar to Marlin “Special Rolled Steel” and Winchester “Rolled Steel”. The April 1897 Remington catalog stated “Remington blued steel barrels are manufactured in our own works” and the Sears catalog No. 112 c. 1902 states the K Grade has “fine Decarbonized steel barrels”.
BTW: Post-WWI “Parker Steel” was Decarbonized (Bessemer) Resulphurized Rephosphorized AISI 1109 Carbon Steel.
