Re: Model 10D dating assistance

Your is more than likely a 10A grade then and the D is an inspection stamp.

Re: Remington 11D Year of Production

Jim Tipton's chronology would place the production of this gun in mid-1909.

Good luck and enjoy!

Re: Model 10D dating assistance

Sorry to be late to the game.

Where is it stamped with a D?

Is it engraved in any manner?

Pictures never hurt if you can manage a few.

As for production dating serial numbers this chart was published in the RSA Journal where and by whom it was developed I do not know or recall.

Good Luck with ...

Re: Brimsdown, England

Thanks Dave.

I’ve not shot any so have no experience there but 60’s on seem to hold their own.

Re: Dating vintage shotshells & boxes

I can only get you within a range on the Nitro Club ammuntion.

It would have been produced during the Remington-UMC ownership days prior to incorporating.

So roughly 1911-1916 ish.

Researcher has the detailed dates but they slip my mind at the moment.

Re: 1894 Hollow Rib--Concave Rib?

Thanks Dave for sharing the additional information.

Seems like there would be some Billy Heer close-ups in that time period that could show his guns in more detail.

Re: Remington "lightweight" Hammerless SxS's?


Maybe you're thinking of the 1889. Some were advertised as light weights.


No Paul, the idea of smaller frame "Light Weight" 1894's have been floated in some camps for years.

I do not know if it ever made a "Double Gun Journal" story or not but I expected it to when Mr. Deem started ...

Re: Pre-1921 model 10 dating

Everyone wants to date a 10, you'll be happier with a 5! Lol

I am no expert on 10's but have looked at a lot of them and Model 11's of the same time frame and my theory is that the Remington and Circle UMC stampings on the tangs are the discerning features of the Model 10 and 11.

Without those I ...

Re: Early Model 11 Remingtons

Thanks for the side by side photo.

I have never realized that the earliest models had a different contouring of the receiver sides than the other pre-18,000 serial number guns that were side stamped.

The ejection port difference always masked this change to my eye.

Great guns, keep them well!

Re: Long Range Model 11 (2 shot?)

Or for the price 8 Steel Die Stamps and a small hammer you could have as many as you want on anything!

I just saw am auction go through that must have had 10 "Long Range" barrels in it.

All configurations, except oddly enough, a vent rib but in 12 and 16 ga.

Re: Long Range Model 11 (2 shot?)

In the Blue Book there is a word of caution: "Beware of Fakes"

Without seeing the stamping it is hard to make an educated guess.

But if you notice by 1939 the catalog explicitly states 30" plain and Solid Rib barrels only on the 11 and Sportsman.

I have not seen a "Long Range" vent rib barrel ...

I again point to the Hartly and Graham catalog that insinuates a Pigeon Gun is no more than a Straight Stocked one! Lol

Re: Remington Model 1894 Pigeon and Trap Guns

That's the one it was brought to light on this forum and should still be able to be found through the search function.

Just not listed as an EEO or a Pigeon Gun so it would take some doing!

Mike appreciates it I'm sure! Lol

I think there are 4 maybe 5 other photos.
