I am currently dealing with a fellow collector on a Remington 1882 10 gauge shotgun. Well he thinks it's an 1882 but he's not sure. From my research it looks like one to me. He doesn't want that much for it and the gun is in excellant condition except for one thing. The left hammer has been replaced with a substitute hammer that looks to me like it could be from an earlier M1876 or "Lifter" Model. As it is a little taller than the original hammer on the right side. The hammer screw is also not original on the substitute left side hammer. I have attached pictures of both hammers.
Also the barrel is not Damascus or Laminated Steel. But a solid steel barrel. Is that possible ?? Were any of these made with solid steel barrels ?? The serial number is 7940 and all parts are matching. Does this serial number belong to a Model 1882 & does anybody know what year that it would have been manufactured ??
This is a new venture for me, so I would really appreciate any input that can be provided. Also, if I do end up buying it. Does anyone know where I could get an original hammer & screw for the left barrel ?? Thanks.
