This grip cap is on a Belgium hammer shotgun. Made in Leige. The owner thought it was a Remington because of the grip cap. Can you tell me what Remington gun used such a cap?

To add a little more info. There is only one catalog I have ever seen that does list a Trap gun. It is an 1887 Lamberson, Furman & Co. revised price list of E. Remington & Sons Sporting Arms. In that catalog it is stated "Remington New Model Double Barrel Trap Gun". There are only ...

tjack is correct. I have a #4 solid frame with a somewhat rough bore. I shoot cowboy silhouette with it and use .22 long only. After about 5-6 rounds through, it shoots just fine. Guess fouling and lead fills the rough. I might be wrong but the older guns like you have, shoot better with .22 long th...

No need to post photos . Your Remington is not a Model 1882. By the serial number 19687, it falls into a Model 1885. Though we cannot pin down the manufacture date exactly, it possibly was produced late 1886.

What is the serial number of the gun and can you post any photos of the gun? By the serial number it may be a different Model. We have no idea, nor records, about these early ERS guns. Everything known has been done by years of research and observation. Obviously it was made by E. Remington & So...

There are no records in regards to the 1882, or for that matter , any E. Remington & Sons shotguns. However, according to known serial numbers it is estimated the 1882 started with serial 1,000 and ended with 17,000, representing a production of 16,000 guns. So you can do the math and estimate y...

In 1991 I photographed a number of Remington double shotguns and the owner asked me to just take a couple photos of his engraved single shot rolling block. I am not an expert on engraved rolling blocks, but after viewing the Cheasapeake site, my opinion is that one is a special order, as was his. Th...

One added comment. The stock has obviouly been cut for the recoil pad. But the checkering pattern tells me it is the original butt stock. Especially the added oval gold name plate is in the right position.

I really wouldn't call the gun messed with. As far as we know, for some reason this EE got to Belgium and was rebarreled there. Study the Belgium markings on the barrel flat and they are not Remington barrels. And yes that beaver forend is not Remington. However it still is a Remington EE grade shot...

Pretty much yes. The pellet numbers are actually 327-331. For some reason Remington drops the first digit "3" on 12 gauge. Known hang tags tell us they mostly used #8 shot and 1 1/4 oz. in targetting at the factory. Full choke would be appx. 383 pellets.

jmcalli, I copied your Whitmore through Photoshop and I am guessing it is either a Model 1875 or 1876, especially with the wedge pin forend. Would you give us the serial number? Also looks like a 10 gauge and you are right calling it a Grade 5.

Sorry, Double_Barrel, that I didn't get into your inquiry earlier. Hate to say it ,but maybe you should have bought that 1900 for that price. especially since it is a factory set with those #s 1&2 on the barrels. From contacts and observations, I have recorded 305 model 1900 guns. Of that amount...

Yes it is a Model 1882. From your photos, I can only guess the barrels are not Damascus. If not, then they are decarbonized steel and what we call Grade one. You probably will also find the serial number 7453 stamped on the inside toe of the metal butt plate. There are no surviving records so there ...

Here is a "text" for a man years ago that had the same problem, his was a model 1894 but the 1900 is the same. Getting the stock off is a bit tricky. Hard to describe but following is a description I gave a man in 1997 and he reported it went fine. Naturally this is done in a padded vise ...

I might be nuts, but it sounds like a sporterized military 1903-A3.
