doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Model 1894 Remington Year of production and grade

Here is the early 107242 (1898) B grade with the split lug compared to 112228 (1899) the more typical lugs found on 1894 guns. I want to apoligize for the large pics, I havent figured out how to get them smaller and retain detail.

I prefer the dished out safety as it gives more traction to your thumb.

Hi Researcher All of my Remington model 1894's AR and AER grade's that have Remington steel barrel's on them are marked on top of both barrels Remington, in the same place as the one's that are Ordnance and are marked as Ordnance. I am on vacation and just now saw this post.

The only Remington Steel barreled gun I have is my FE Trap Gun and its barrels are not marked as to steel type. The only AER-Grade I've recorded in my notes is a 10-gauge, serial number 110,209 that Michael Murphy & Son had a few years back, and the unusual thing about it was that it had the big single barrel lug like often seen on late K-/KE-Grades, like the front barrels in this picture.

first post here guys, i know i am bumping an old thread, but i though some of you might find this info interesting/helpful.

I just purchsed my first 1894 today, i believe it is a CEO. there is a C on the bottom of the barrels, an E - and the ejectors work, but the next letter is what looks like a Y. it does have ordinance steel barrels.

anyway, this gun has the floating pins/improved lock and the serial is 132452, this narrows the gap between the highest standard lock and the improved to 350 guns, that almost cuts the previous gap in half!

Dave, can you tell me if this gun has the Imp. lock or not. I'm not sure what to look for. You may need to see a better angle. I beleive it to be the Non Imp lock type. #111525


For some reason all of the pics on this thread except Dave's are not coming up. Just little red X's

Resurrecting an old thread I found.

Is anyone still collecting data on serial numbers of 1894�s that have the standard and improved lock?

On p.2 the difference in spacing is discussed. The lowest serial number with the improved lock discussed in the thread is 132037, which is a CEO Live Bird Gun discussed also in Semmer�s book on p.214-15 and pics on p.222-23 which book I have in my library.

My 1894 is also a CEO Live Bird Gun yet, serial is 132034.
Hope this helps.

I have 132037. Since the serial numbers are so close, were they part of a batch of no safety pigeon guns made at the same time? Have not seen too many around. I wonder how many were made?

Thanks

Thanks.
