still another 1900 question

Post by tijeras plinker »

I picked up a Model 1900 12 ga at a good price, knowing it was probably going to be a project gun. Turns out the project is going to be that it seems to be missing its firing pins. From reading other posts on the board I learned that Remington shifted from firing pins integral to the hammers to free floating pins during the production run. Mine is serial #Q361916, does anyone one know what year this one is, and what type of firing pin it uses? Thanks in advance.

Do you need just the firing pins or the pins,spring,(bushing Remington catalog 1909 list #62 as cone) and the set screw.Any other parts missing hammers,main springs this could go bad
and expensive. Regards,

I have tinkered with it and decided I don't want to try my luck with a set of 104 year old screws and pins, so am going to take it to a gunsmith to look at what all it might need. The hammers and springs seem to be in good condition, as tested by placing a small nail in the firing pin holes, pulling the trigger, and the nail being launched across the room. At any rate, I'll get a professional opinion and then see if I can afford to fix it up. I'll probably be posting back in here before too long.
