Steve runs across some truly unique pieces. Disagree with "mint", a few hickies here and there, but still...

Steve has posted up several high condition, lower grade, Remington Hammerless Doubles in the last few days.

Both my M1894 BE in 12 gauge are only 6 oz heavier. Mind you, they only have 30" barrels.

OK please explain to me a few things about this gun. I call it a 2:00 gun. First why did Remington go to the trouble to miss-time both screws to 2:00 instead of the normal 12:00 position? Second why is all the metal finish so pristine when the wood looks like it has been used as a oar in a john boat? Third if you were going to slap on some more factory original finish why did you not steam a few of those dents out?

Wood finish and condition are absolutely correct for this guns age. Wood and the finish there on is much more susceptible to time and the elements than metal, especially humidity and sunlight. As to the screws timing, your guess is as good as mine.

Edit: I should have said heat rather than sunlight. Would have definitely been more applicable in the case of this gun.

It's nice gun...

It's also a long way from the mint condition advertised.

Looks like a restored gun with use to me.

I'd put a value of $1200 to $1500 on the high end.

I agree. Humidity & sunlight didn't put those dents in the wood. Hard to imagine a gun with that many wood dings with the metal looking that good. Plus all those mistimed screws speak for themselves.
