Is there anyplace you folks can think of where ammo can be purchased for this shotgun? I'd hate for it to stay on the wall.. Thanks.

1894 Remington shotguns were proofed for smokeless powder, even the damascus ones. I shoot mine [ 3 of them ] all the time with smokeless. Because of their age, I hand load and keep pressures under 7000psi. I'm not saying any gun is safe to shoot, especially one that's over 100 years old, but don't discount it just because it has damascus barrels. The British have always shot them, even today. Sherman Bell writing in the DGJ has been trying to blow up damascus barrel shotguns with 18,500 PSI proof loads without any sucess. Good luck - Paul
