The stock is cracked and needs repair, but would you shoot this?

Can't tell from the pics. Beat the dents out file and measure.

Takes a lot to scare me. No, definitely not. How much abuse is there that I can't see?

Yes...after ironing out the dents, checking the barrel thickness , and test firing it tied to a tire...any other brand of shotgun, other than Remington, I'd be like Timothy Leary's brother, Really Leary.

In fact, I doubt you could burst it, if you tried intentionally, with any plastic hull factory ammo...even with the stiffest 3 inch FACTORY shells...tied to a tire for blue pilling it of course.

I'm of the opinion that you couldn't burst a Rem 94 with FACTORY PLASTIC HULL ammo unless one of three conditions were met.

1. The barrels were reamed to thin. (reaming out internal pitting)

2. There was a serious barrel obstruction.
or
3. you loaded your own blue pill beyond any reasonable pressure.

That's how much confidence I have in Remington 1894/1900 damascus. The thing is, you could never sell it to anyone in good conscience.

Why would you want to?
I looked at pristine Baker 10ga hammer gun (this thing had most of case color with not so much as a lick of use evidence on the standing breech or in them barrels). Hell, I almost bought that thing as decoration piece. Whould I shoot that thing? Nope.

Those barrels look to me like they may have already had the dents beat out of them. Unless the inside of the barrels look worse than the outside, I'd certainly have no problem shooting it from a tire, but it is really hard to lead a dove when your gun has a tire tied to it...Geo
