Some one said that the Remington the model 1894 and the model 1900 were offered with 26.barrels. That is true somewhat but only with the graded model 1894. The 1894 A grade and the model 1900 were only offered with 26in. barrels in the catalog the last one or two years of production and then only in steel barrels. Yes there were special order 26in. barrels but are very rare. Most all 26in. Remington barrels are cut. Every Remington I have looked at that were not cut over all these year's the barrels all touched at muzzle. I say this from over 45 year's of collecting and working on Remington doubles. Terry
