K would mean steel barrels

Re: Remington side by side help
We are never going to be able to tell you much unless you post some good pictures of the gun plus all the markings on the watertable and the barrel flats. There were four variations of the Model 1900, the K-, KD-, KE- and KED-Grades and they were available in 12- or 16-gauge. From the 1906 Remington Arms Co. catalogue --
The guns weren't marked as to what gauge they were. Apparently shooters back in the day were smarter than we are now and knew what gauge their gun was!! You'll have to figure out whether it is a 12- or 16-gauge by trying a couple of empty shells or measuring.
FYI -- Barrel flats --
Watertable --
Gun shown is a KED-Grade 16-gauge.
