you've got a lot of work ahead of you....unless it was a FAMILY heirloom I would not do it....but that's me.... and unless you plan to do a lot of the work yourself, in the end you will be into it at least double what it will be worth....

That is a very late Remington Hammerless Double. It is in the last thousand made during the clean-up in 1910 when Remington sold off their entire inventory of break-action guns to Norvell-Shapleigh Hardware of St Louis, and went into the future with their John M. Browning designed Autoloading Shotgun and their John D. Pederson designed Repeating Shotgun.
Are those Ordnance Steel barrels?

If you go ahead with the project, the ribs are soft soldered on, brazing is far too hot. MKII

Looks like the gun wore a Beavertail forend. Based on the bluing wear on the barrels. I doubt it was original.
It is my personal opinion that your lower rib is too mangled to be able to fit it reasonably and re-use it.
I have a set of 1894 barrels available for sale, but they are Damascus.
Ther is a good amount of these guns out there in well used condition that could be used for parts.
Where did you get your stock from?

Pat,
You're kind of jumping into this restoration thing with both feet. Unless you're prepared to sink much more money into this than the gun would ever be worth, you might want to hold off. The missing Forend iron will make this project expensive, but since you're a machinist and going to attempt to create one yourself it might not be too bad. You'll probably need to find one to copy, but I don't really know as I've never attempted one myself.
You might want to find a complete gun in restorable condition to practice on first.
Nothing wrong with holding on to this one until you can really see what you're getting into, as far as effort.
If you're successful in copying forend iron, there's lots of nice guns out there missing forends, especially LC Smiths and nice German guns that were GI bringbacks. The Krauts used to remove the forends before they turned them it.
I'll repeat what was said before, considering that this looks like this might be a Model 1900 Field Grade, unless it has personal significance, you might want to reconsider what you're intending to do with it right now.
Regards Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

considering that this looks like this might be a Model 1900 Field Grade A Model 1900 would have a serial number from 300000 to 398508. This gun is 140272, a Model 1894 AE (R or O)-Grade. Even without the serial number you could tell by the forearm loop.

Thanks, I should have looked up the serial number.
It looks pretty overwhelming as a "Restoration Gun"...Especially if an Ejector Gun. It may even have been a parts gun, with the forearm sold off. Can anyone tell if anything else is missing? Regards Ken
