Help identifying shotgun (I believe).

Post by Mattguy »

I've done a little research on google and a few auction sites which have led me to believe that it's a Remington from the 1860's, but I was curious if that were true and also what model it might be.

I also have this shotgun and it is shown in 1870s remington catalogs.seems to be very little info available and I don't know why they did not mark them anywhere when they marked unfinished barrels and locks.if i remember correct they sold for $8.00 and the rolling block shotgun was about $20.00

Might post this in the section just below which is for Remington Shotguns Pre 1899. More shotgun guys will see it there.

That's definitely the Remington single barrel percussion shotgun...they used surplus Civil War musket barrels; cut-down and bored out. The underside of the barrel may still show a "P" proof mark or inspectors' initials. When I showed mine to my brother, he said, "No wonder Remington did not put their name on it!"
