Remington Society

I have been looking for ANY 16 gauge 89's, don't seem to see them around. How many of you Remington collectors have found a 16 gauge 1889?

I am familier with matted barrels on model 10's,29's and 31's but recently found a 28" mod 870 barrel that is matted in the same old style. I am building a straight stocked shortened trap gun (10-T styled) for my grandson with this barrel. I would like it if anyone has information about Remingt...

2shooter, I am not specifically looking for any years but always looking for ones that I don't have. It was nice to have access to collectors that could compile and re-print catalogs. I also like Shotgun News!

In the late 70's and 80's I bought a few of Bill West's books on Remington Guns.
Also reprints of catalogs and such from Rolling Block Press, Brea, CA sold by McKee Publications
I can't find any references or sources for these authors, anybody have sources?

It might have been up-graded as a light weight trap gun. Light weight often translates "kicks like a mule".
Very nice looking 31!

Remington Model 17 #63395

The Galazan is what I used, sand to give the shape and finish you want. Wax with Renaissance Wax for a nice low shine!

A 32 that is yours is a good thing! I would get an over sized pad from CVA to fix the length of pull issue. I have done this for an 1894 that was cut short.

Gents, I would enjoy seeing photos of the pigeon guns.
Thanks, Mike

Thank you for the photo posting. I don't think that graded Remingtons give up much to the Foxes and Parkers!

Researcher,
Please post up a few more photos of the 16! WoW.
Thanks, Mike

Will, that pad looks terrific on that ol'humpback!

I am curious if any collectors have seen any Model 10D, F, T"s with a damascus barrel? I have read but not seen that the Winchester Model 97 could be purchased with the damascus option.

I think we still call clay targets "clay pigeons" as a reference to the cross over between the two disciplines-- Trap Gun or Pigeon Gun?
Ken, Remingtons have never held any sort of collectable value close to Parker or Fox. (that's why I collect them)!

I have a set of barrels.
PM me for details.
