Walk into a gun shop just to look around. Mary staid in the truck. Translate, "Don't buy anything.". First thing that catches my eye is an old Interarms Rossi with etched engraving is "safe queen" condition. I look it over and told the salesman to keep it out. I'll bring in a buyer. I drag Mary in from the truck. Ooooo! She likes it. Makes a deal on it.

Meanwhile, I'm visiting with the owner. I commented that I didn't see any doubles. He said he didn't have any. Then he had a second thought. He went in the back and came back out with a Remington 1882 10 gauge hammer gun. Now I was in trouble. Just the kind of gun that's on my watch for list. He had a heafty price tag on it but he was retiring and closing his shop on June 30. He cut the price in half but wouldn't go any lower. Matching numbers, solid wood and action, 100% complete, Demascas barrels in nice shape made it hard to argue. And impossible to leave behind.

Nice find. That tube pattern looks interesting. Any chance for a better picture?

I'll probably take some more pictures and also make a YouTube video of me shooting it. Oh yeah, I'll shoot it - with light black powder loads.

I love those tall hammers set in close so two can be cocked in one motion. Notice it has the cap shields on the hammers like the Colt 1878.

Yeah, I wish Remington Arms had used the high hammers on the 1889.

I tried to blow up the pic to see the tube pattern, but it lost too much detail. I can't really tell, but that pattern doesn't look like typical crolle so far. It kind'a-almost-possibly looks like Laminated.

If this helps, the serial number is 117XX that puts it later in production run. The Remington Society article talks about a shift in features of grade levels at the 10000 mark.

http://www.remingtonsociety.org/remington-model-1882-shotguns/

If it means anything, the barrels are each stamped with a 4 between hinge and forend hanger lug.

The serial numbers all match. It gun shows no sign of being taken apart.

Is there a simple process to bring out the pattern?

It's visible over maybe 50% of the barrels but washed out to some degree everywhere else.

One of my Remingtons is a 10ga 1882 with Damascus barrels. I shoot both BP and nitro in it. A 1 1/16oz load is real nice soft shooting. It's way cheaper to load your own BP loads. You need any help let me know.

I've been loading black powder shotgun shells for a while in both 12 and 10 gauge - in brass or plastic hulls. This makes my 5th 10 gauge hammer double. Besides the two Remingtons, I have a New Baker Syracuse, LC Smith Syracuse, and Colt 1878.

Just north of the river. Hillbillies live on the south side. crazy

I had a job that for many years required me to wear a jacket and tie. Then later they eased the dress code to dress shirt, slacks and tie. Then to "casual Friday" where you could drop the tie on Friday unless you were involved in meeting with people out of the office. Once I became self-employed, I swore all I'd wear was bibs. And with rare exception, I've held to that dress code.



Here is one exception. I'm "cowboyed up" and shooting an original Colt 1878 10 gauge with antique UMC nickel plated brass hulls. Obviously, black powder loads. It was New Years day, 40 degrees with uncomfortable breeze and heavy overcast. I came in closer to last than first. But a great way to start the new year!

The Missouri River. I just assumed. Missouri has a lot of rivers but most run north and south.



Here is a video of my Remington 1889 10 gauge.

We bought much of the family farm years ago. Over 100 acres got away from us but we ended up with 214 acres the wasn't close to the public roads. We built a half mile of private drive and built our home in the middle of the property. The farms around ours have been broken inro small lots.

Nice figure! (I use to lust at women with a "nice figure". Now it's old shotguns. It's hell to get old.)

Anyways, after I shot the Remington with black powder loads, I had to clean it. After hot water flush, brush and swabbing out, I applied Thompsons Bore Butter. In wiping down the outside of the barrels with BB, I noticed the lamination contrast improving. It stands out nicely in the best areas and shows some in the worst areas.

Here's something you can try, as long as there's some color left. Wipe the tubes down well with acetone. Quickly apply a coating of white vinegar. You want to coat quickly so the etch is even. In ten or fifteen seconds, quickly go over the tubes with a rag sopping wet with baking powder solution. This neutralizes the vinegar. Rinse well with water. If possible, soak the tubes for several minutes in hot tap water. Dry with a towel, then blow the ribs and bores dry. You'll probably have a little flash rust, so go over the tubes with OOOO degreased steel wool. If you like the pattern, lacquer them with clear gloss nail polish cut 50/50 with acetone. This only works if color remains, not on areas that have been silvered.

Regards
Ken
