Did they ever come with fluid steel barrels? I know the model 1900 came with both Damascus and Fluid and I was wondering about the 1894. Did production of the 1894 stop when the 1900 was introduced?

Yes, beginning in 1897. The lowest grade the A-/AE-grade could be had with Remington Steel barrels the same as used on the K-/KE-Grade Model 1900s and was listed as an AR-/AER-Grade. Also the low priced trap gun the F-Grade Trap Gun came regularly with Remington Steel barrels. All the grades could also be had with the very strong Ordnance Steel barrels. The Ordnance Steel barrels cost extra on the A-/AE- and B-/BE-Grades but were the same price as the finer Damascus on the higher grades. When guns were fitted with Ordnance Steel barrels they were listed as AO-/AEO-/BO-/BEO-/CO-/CEO-/DO-/DEO-/EO-/EEO-Grades. At the very end of Model 1894 production a few guns were fitted with Krupp Fluid Steel barrels, but I don't know of the Krupp barrels ever being catalogued.

Here is an FE-Grade Trap Gun --



Here is the only 16-gauge DEO-Grade to come to light so far --
