Description:
This Grade 3 Remington Model 1889, which was manufactured in 1901, is not only ready to go back into the field to do what it was made to do, but has already been there. Pictured is almost certainly the first bird taken in a 100 years by this Damascus-barreled hammergun, which has been given a new life not only by proper reconditioning but by the ready availability of factory-produced low-pressure shells designed to be fired in Damascus barrels. The wood, as refinished with hand rubbed stock oil, is attractive and solid. The Oxford Crolle pattern in the Damascus steel is distinct, as refinished using the tradition process of slow rust bluing and etching. The bores are bright as honed. The color case hardening, which was redone by Classic Guns in Crete, IL, is brilliant.
The 32” barrels are choked Light Modified (.015) and Improved Modified (.025). The wall thicknesses (top/side/bottom) for the right barrel at 9” from muzzle are 046/.037/.042 and at the middle of the barrel are .058/.050/.050. The wall thicknesses of the left barrel are .046/.040/.038 and .059/.055/.0548, respectively. Bores 9” from the breech are both 729. Chambers are 2-3/4”. The gun locks up tight and on face; the top lever returns to center. This shotgun weighs 8 lb 10 oz. The drop at the comb is 2-1/8 and at the heel 3-1/8”. Length of pull from the front trigger to the end of the original butt plate is 14”. All serial numbers, 207705, match.
The inspection period is 7 days from receipt. This shotgun has been fired on the range and in the field using low pressure 2-3/4” shells produced for Damascus-barreled shotguns by RST Corporation. However, as for any antique or vintage shotgun, and especially one a hundred and fifteen years old, it is recommended that the new owner have it inspected by a professional gunsmith before firing and then only use shells that produce pressures for which the gun was designed. The gun carries a 30-day warrantee, during which Back in Time will have any mechanical problems documented by a professional gunsmith repaired or accept the return of the gun and refund the price of the gun and the return shipping cost. The listed price of the gun does not include shipping costs paid by buyer. Please do not hesitate to call with questions Stephen Wesbrook, 703-625-4830; Back in Time, LLC -- preserving late 19th and early 20th Century double shotguns.
