Description:
Presented here is a beautiful vintage Remington Model 1889 hammer shotgun in 12 gauge. The Remington Model 1889 Double Barreled shotgun was the last external hammer shotgun they would produce, and was really the last of the great side hammer shotguns. For most of the 19th Century, Shotguns had not been a big market for American gun makers, due to the well-developed import trade coming out of England. However, in 1883, U.S. Congress imposed a 35% on imported firearms, and the American arms industry was quick to respond. Remington was America's oldest gunmaker, and had in fact been making top-break double shotguns since 1874, so they were already in production at this watershed moment, and quickly produced a number of different models. The Model 1889 is the endpoint in the evolution of these Remington hammer guns. Like all the others, it was extremely well made and finished, but there is a sleekness about it that the others can’t quite match. And its low-profile hammers with their nearly circular necks are distinctive. The beautiful stock has a length of pull of 14 1/4" to the front trigger, drop at comb of 2" and drop at heel of 3". The 30" barrel has 2 3/4" chambers, bright bore and both are choked full. The wood has some pressure marks. The metal has lost most of it's finish and some areas are thinning. Some of the original case hardening still exists. The action works very smoothly and the top lever is still to the right of center. This fine Remington can hold it's own against British guns and would make an outstanding addition to a collection of side by side shotguns or an excellent start to a new collection.
