Thanks Researcher..you and R.R. have really narrowed down the the 94 serials to within 178 numbers apart...I wonder if there will be any subtle differences in the earliest improved lock guns....transitional guns maybe...or unusual action flats and barrel markings maybe...does 132280 have unusual or extra markings?
.
R.R....Does Semmers book say what serial range was used on the 1900 model during 1905? (assuming that 1905 is correct for the 132,000 range for the 1894)...
.
OK...I'll try to recap this for the readers to know if their Remingtons are within these serial ranges
.
Lowest improved lock 1894 is 132280
Highest standard lock 1894 is 132102
................numbers apart........178
.
Lowest improved lock 1900 is 359662
Highest standard lock 1900 is 324925
...............numbers apart......34737
