Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Remington Model 1900s are a simplified, economical version of the Model 1894, built on the same patents -- No. 528,507 and No. 528,508 both granted Oct. 30, 1894. The Model 1900s were all K-Grades, with E added to the designation if the gun had ejectors and D if it had Damascus barrels -- K-, KE-, KD-, or KED-Grades. The K- and KE-Grades had Remington Steel barrels. The Model 1900s had a snap-on/off forearm and their serial numbers were in the 300,000 range, often preceded with a stock letter Q.
The Remington Model 1900 was first introduced in 1900 and produced until 1910. Around 99,000 units were manufactured during this period in both 16 and 12-gauge versions, with the serial number block ranging from 300,000 to 399,000. The model was available in various grades, including K with Remington steel barrels, KE with Remington steel and auto ejectors, KD with 2-stripe Damascus barrels, and KED with 2-stripe Damascus and auto ejectors.
Remington Arms Co. stamped the actual pellet counts of their test patterns on the rear barrel lug of their Model 1889 hammer doubles and their Model 1894 and 1900 hammerless doubles. If the number is three digits, that is the count; if the number is two digits, a leading 3 is implied. From surviving hang-tags, we know the standard load they used to target 12-gauge guns was 1 1/4 ounces of #8 going 511 pellets to the load. This 12-gauge KE-Grade Model 1900 is stamped 25 on the left and 30 on the right. That would be approximately 325/511 = 64% left and 330/511 = 65% right.
Remington recognized the potential of their John M. Browning-designed Remington Autoloading Gun (later known as Model 11) and their John D. Pederson-designed Remington Repeating Shotgun (later known as Model 10) and decided to invest in them by acquiring Norvell-Shapleigh Hardware Co.'s entire inventory of break-action shotguns on February 3, 1910. The deal included a large number of guns, as indicated by the shipment of 3206 Model 1894s and 16435 Model 1900s in 1910. The 1909 Remington Arms Co. catalogue was the last to feature doubles, and a version of the 1909 catalog exclusively showcased the Remington Autoloading Shotgun, the Remington Repeating Shotgun, and the Autoloading Repeating Rifle.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
