Beware of scammers.

Try Garland Jackson @ 330-669-2138. They appear on eBay from time-to-time but $$$$$

Scott -- I believe the locks are the same for the '85, '87 and '89 models except for hammer shape and Remington Arms Co stamping on the side of the '89 locks. I don't know if this is the case for the '82 and '83 models but assume some if not all parts will interchange. Anyway, worth a try.

Your 1900 was made in 1907.

Fun gun -- enjoy!

I've always heard or been under the impression that the volume of brass shells was much larger than plastic and that was a factor in loading SP loads. While that may be true, I would think that enough wadding at proper wad pressure plus a good roll crimp should be the solution.

Another factor that ...

Thanks for the info on 7625. What was your load for PB? I still have a couple pounds of PB around.

Any suggestions concerning wad pressure?

I too have loaded BP for at least 20 years in both brass and plastic cases. I've always used the equal volume method for measuring powder & shot.

So Garland, what do you use for SP loads?

Just checked my loading data and the heaviest loads I've used are 33 grs of HS-6 and 28.5 grs of 4756 to push 1 1/4oz, The heaviest load I have on file for PB is 21 grs to push 1/1/8oz.

I tried Remington about 5 years ago but haven't received an answer but maybe someone else will have better luck.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know about the brass OO shells from Nam. I have several OO military rounds from that era but they are Federal plastic or paper.

I have a bunch of antique 12 GA brass shells which I use to load black powder rounds. The shells have various makers marks (UMC, Winchester, Kynoch, Climax etc.) and seem to have the same internal volume and configuration. All are 2 5/8" in length. I've toyed with the idea of smokeless loads over ...

I don't know what use the complete S/N might be to someone who has foul intentions. All I know is that the bad guys are always looking for information that can help them take your stuff. Providing an incomplete S/N can't hurt.

The xs are used to "hide" the exact S/N while still providing info indicating date of manufacture etc.

As best I can remember it applies tension to the flat metal piece that slides and sets the safety to "on" when the gun is closed.

You have posted in wrong section but to answer your question your gun was made in 1910 - the last year of production of the 1900.

Bill - for what it's worth, I have an Ithaca 10 Ga hang tag which states 1 1/4 oz was used to determine choke. Although the same shot wasn't used perhaps there was some standardization of loads during this period when industrial standards were beginning to be established.

Great looking gun!

As for the numbers on the lug, these indicate degree of choke. A leading 3 is assumed. In the case of 12 Ga, Remington used 1 1/4 oz of Tateman & Bros. #8 shot fired at a 30" circle at 40 yds. As 1 1/4 oz of Tateman & Bros. shot contained 511 pellets, 368/511 = 72% and 334/511 ...
