In regards to engraving, to be fair; I’ve seen cheesy engraving on all American doubles. Some of the LC Smith engraving had to be done by a blind man. They all have good and bad.
Good commentary on Remington getting out of the double gun business. Perhaps because they didn’t stick it out?? It probably was a good move on their part dumping the doubles when they saw the writing on the wall.
I have an 1889 hammer gun and I think it’s a nice piece. Mine is plain with no engraving and decarbonized steel barrels. The stock is short and has a whole lot of drop, making the gun almost useless for me. I’m trying to learn how to stock doubles and once I learn, this gun is getting all new wood custom fit to me.
So, any other ideas whey Remington’s are second class citizens?
