Remington offered their ORDNANCE Steel barrel on their John D. Pedersen designed pump regularly. This from the 1909 catalog --
see the bottom of the page. Their catalog offering ORDNANCE Steel barrels on their John M. Browning designed Autoloading Shotgun was sporadic --
Remington Arms Co. only offered Damascus barrels on their Hammerless Double Barrel Shotgun from their introduction in the October 1894 catalog. Both Remington Steel and Ordnance Steel barrels were introduced in the April 1897 catalog. The text states --
"Remington blued steel barrels are manufactured in our own works, and sold at the same price as ordinary Damascus barrels. Guaranteed for nitro powders, and free from all imperfections."
The catalog text doesn't state that Remington made the Ordnance Steel. ""Ordnance" steel is of the highest grade, and is especially recommended for heavy charges of nitro powder. The tensile strength of this steel is 110,000 lbs., and the elastic limit 60,000 lbs., this being greatly in excess of any strain to which shotgun barrels are subjected with reasonable loads of nitro powders."
