Beware of scammers.

Jim and Ray,
Thank You once again for your comments, insight and opinions on this rifle. I bought this with a 15% discount through Cabelas, a 10% off promotion and added my 5% Military discount to it. So I bought it for $1260 plus sales tax, so I've got about $1355 in it total. Not a bad price for ...

Jim and Ray, Thank You both for your very detailed replies back to me on this. I was afraid that it was not original from the factory with the short magazine tube. It would have been great to have been all original, as it would have finished out my collection of Remington pump rifles. I will think ...

I recently purchased a Remington Model 14 1/2 rifle from Cabelas. It came out of a Denver store and is chambered in .38-40. I can back out of the deal and need to decide whether to keep it or not. I am a stickler for all of my old guns to be OEM, as they came out of the factory. So when Bubba gets ...

Well Thank You once again for your insight on this. My niche is old side by side double barrel shotguns with the external rabbit ear hammers. But mainly in 10 gauge, regardless of manufacturer. I have 3 of them that are Remingtons. An 1882, an 1889 and an 1878 Whitmore Lifter, all in 10 gauge. And I ...

Here are some more pictures taken in sunlight. Trying to show the barrel pattern clearer then the previous pictures.
So is there a Model 1885 and also a Model 1887, 2 separate models ? Or is it a Model 1885/1887, that is just one model ??

Well Thanks again for the information on that. Mystery solved. The seller had it listed as an 1885/87 model, which confused me at first. I googled Remington 16 gauge double barrel side X side shotgun with external hammers. And the only information I found was on the Model 1889. So the seller was ...

Thanks for the response back to me on this. The serial number is 17238.

I just bought a Remington double barrel, side x side, Shotgun with rabbit ear external hammers. It is in 16 gauge. It is in beautiful condition with hardly any wear at all. Lockup is rock solid and the hammer springs are tight and crisp. The only thing I can find online is the model 1889 that was ...

Well the mystery has been solved and I was way off. Thanks for figuring out what I actually have. The guy I bought it from told me it was an 1873 Whitmore Hammer Lifter model. I figured out that wasn't right, right away. But knew it had to be either an 1876 or an 1878. I already have an 1882 and an ...

I've never attached photos on this website before Hope all 3 of these make it on here ok. Anyway this is what I have. I think it is an 1876 Whitmore Lifter in 10 gauge ??

Well Thank You for sharing that information with me. I already have what I think is a Model 1876 ?? But not really sure on that. Sounds like you pretty much have to have hands on one to tell. It would be nice to see one of each sometime and do the direct comparison between the two. But that is ...

Can anyone enlighten me on how to tell the difference between a Remington 1876 Whitmore Lifter double barrel shotgun in 10 gauge. And a Model 1878 Whitmore Lifter double barrel shotgun, again in 10 gauge ? You can't tell by the serial numbers, and Remington never put an actual model number on them ...

I have several other Remington side by side double barrel external hammer shotguns. But not a Hammer Lifter or a Lifter. I think I will begin a quest to acquire those 2 models as well. I have a definite passion for old double barrel external hammer shotguns in 10 gauge. I have several Remingtons ...

Just heard back from my buddy, and he finally got the barrels separated from the receiver. He said he had been lifting up on the barrel release before, but this time he put more pressure on it and the barrels came apart from the receiver finally. I knew it had to be something simple that he was ...
