Re: 1894 With Strange S/N ???

Your Remington is a Model 1900 KED grade built in 1901. !894s S/Ns start with 1 while 1900s start with 3.

The K grade was offered in four versions:

K - Remington steel barrels with extractors
KE - as above with ejectors
KD - Damascus barrels with extractors
KED - as above with ejectors

Re: 12 Ga 11-48 Rifled Slug Barrel ?

With the advent of truly rifled barrels the older unrifled slug barrels are really obsolete. What you have is a cylinder choke bore barrel. Does the barrel have adjustable rear sights?

Re: Help! Reminton 1858 New Model Army .44 Caliber

It will take 30 seconds to check S/N under left grip. Checking the trigger guard is an option. A small slot screwdriver is all that's needed.

Anyone interested in purchase will most likely require viewing the S/Ns.

email me at jmeier356@gmail.com to discuss purchase.

Re: 1858 NMA Conversion

Whoever made the conversion did a nice job. The frame is milled nicely to fit the steel plate spacer. I haven't removed the spacer to see what's underneath.

Re: 1858 NMA Conversion

Daniel - thanks for your quick reply.

An update -- didn't notice stamp on hammer. Turns out to be 33. So 33 is stamped in at least three locations. Frame near S/N, barrel close to S/N and hammer.

Attached are additional pix.

1858 NMA Conversion

Just bought a converted '58 that appears to be chambered for 45 Colt. Chambers measure about 0.480" which matches the Colt.

S/N is 86xxx and would appear to have been made in July or August of 1864. No military marks are present unless the W stamped next to the blast shield is one. S/N on barrel ...

Re: Looking for help with a Remington 1900

As I thought - the barrels have been cut. At 15" it doesn't meet the legal standard of 18" minimum.

Most 1900s have 28 - 30" barrels although I seem to recall that a 26" barrel was available. Of course Remington would build a gun to order.

A good utube video from Midway shows repairs to a fore end.

Re: Pedersen Device

I agree with Mainspring. Should be easy to fabricate. The only issue I see is determination of nut width.

Re: Model 24 LR Headspace

Headspace gauges are available if you cannot find a smith that can help you. Even if you obtain a gauge can you make the modifications necessary to correct the problem? You still may need a smith.

Have you checked the firing pin spring? Anything obstructing proper firing pin travel?

Re: Model 1894 FE Trap Year of Manufacture

Yes it is a FE grade made in mid 1906. The choke for the right barrel is IM (58%) and the left is also IM (60%) based on 510 #8 pellets in a 1 1/4 oz load.
