To all the guys who gave CONSTRUCTIVE information helped me come out with a good deal.
* I posted that my Remington 1900 was sold to me as an 1894. You guys told me a 1900 was a lower grade to the 1894. So I was "blue booked" at a higher rate.
* The "Gun Smith" told me I could fire modern ammo to include slugs with my 1900. You guys said no way, and sited a blown barrel and someone who lost 4 fingers.
* The "Gun Smith" told me he fixed the sear for the trigger mechanism. I thought it was normal to fire both barrels at the same time if I pulled the lead trigger first. It didn't make sense to me but I believed he "Fixed" the problem. You guys told me it should NOT fire both barrels.
I took this information back to the manager at the dealership. It's family owned and very friendly people. When I explained my conversation with the "Gunsmith" they apologized for my experience. They assured me that the gun would be fixed properly. Then they GAVE me at no cost to me a very lightly used polished Stoeger SXS 12Ga Coach Gun!
This washes my over paying, I now have a Gun that shoots properly in great condition, AND I can shoot modern ammo!
So thanks's to all who gave constructive feedback. That is why I searched sites until I found one where it seems some people knew what they were talking about! I'm just sorry Researcher wasn't able to chime in to decipher the "A" on my 1900's Barrel (///KA1).
Since I'm not looking to have a big Gun collection, I'm donating the 1900 to a friend of 20 yrs. He plans to put it up in his office as a show piece.
MY New Coach Gun....
