That worked fine. I might point out that under each photo in Photbucket there are three choices. Click on the bottom one and it will say it is copied. That is the one they designed for sites like this. Then go to the reply box here and press control v at the same time and the info will be deposited. Hit Enter once or twice to get a little space and add another photo. Two or three are plenty for each Reply box. Don't forget to hit submit button on the bottom of the reply box. If you want to add more pictures just add another reply using the same technique.

JDW, ok, other than the image is too large, it's fairly easy. I'll get my camera tonight and post photos of three other Smith triggers.

Of course the one trigger is off the Fulton Special, the other appears to be from some factory experimental frame that utilized two extra screws as opposed to the ears normally found on a Fulton floorplate. Jerrod had the rest of that gun, but I was unable to acquire it at the time...perhaps it's now available...Oh Yeah...builder, thanx for the pointers...I can't even remember what I mistakenly thought was difficult

You mean 3 by Fulford ...It is interesting that you too wondered or assumed that because they were designed around, or perhaps simply drawn on the Rem 1894 action, that there has to be more to this. It's easy to see how their design might get the attention of Remington designers. At least from this long distance perspective, it looks like they were flat out courtin' Remington with their designs, but so far I have found nothing tangible to connect Fulford or De Long to Remington in any way (or Fulford's assignors)...but I did get to troubleshoot (clean and time) a Fulford trigger on a 94 like the one shown in 971979, so at least Fulford's design did see some degree of (aftermarket) production...But make no mistake, the death knell for the Remington double shotgun was the Flues model Ithaca...I haven't checked the production numbers in years, but If I remember right, all the top producers were forced to reckon with Ithaca's taking of lion's share of the US market...Parker responded with the Trojan, Fox with the Sterlingworth, Smith with the Fulton, and Remington with no more double production.
Allthough I can't connect DeLong or Fulford to Remington, and I can't connect Giddings either, something tells me that Giddings (of Ilion) could not have learned his craft at any other anvil other than Remington...Now those would be the guns to find.
