It is still possible to find an A grade 1894 or Model 1900 with fluid steel barrels, ejectors and good dimensions for less than $1000, sometimes much less.
I enjoy the three I own, especially my 10ga ejector gun as it has 30" damascus barrels, weighs 8lbs 14 ounces and has good dimensions. It patterns 93% with 1 1/8 #6 at 40 yards. Try to find a similar 10ga ejector equipped Parker or Smith for under $700, it will be a long search.
Agree-= and I'm into this Remington for much less than 1K--what is the difference between the 1894 Model and the 1900 model. And yes, there is a A stamped on the watertable, but not an AE, even though this is an ejector gun.
