PR, Howdy!
That shore is purty-full!
PR,
I shoot an original Remington Model 1889 grade 2 SXS 12 Gauge.
It's neat to shoot an original hammer gun.
Mine was 30" bbls, but had a boo-boo about 2-3" down from the right side muzzle (car Door ding??? Ding H_E_dbl Hockey Sticks it was a DENT!). So I whacked her off to 19 1/4" bbls and she does her job iffen I do mine.

Looks like a Stevens. The hammers look identical to the ones on my Stevens, although yours is a box lock and mine is a side lock. Do you know the model #?

It is called the "riverside" made by stevens.
I'll know more when I get to hold her in my hands.
Her last owner found her with bad wood and completely redid the stock and forearm with new walnut. The cool thing is a nice fat forearm instead of the splinter variety which will be nice for shooting the black!!!

Howdy Pony Racer,
It's either more wood or an asbestos glove. . . My gloves are only buckskin and after some long scattergun stages the heat gets thru.
Good on ya.

Kind of like the splinter style myself. A thin leather glove works fine for me.
DJ here on the splinter - I do love the looks of the older shotguns including the splinter.
I am actualli in the process of acquiring a gun from my french brother in - law. His granfather bought a beat up German and french sxs from the 1930's and due to problems with both guns had the french action mated with the german barrels. The gun shoots like a dream and has a very interesting splinter forearm.
he does not shoot 16 guage and is interested in keeping her in the family - so I have stepped up to the plate.
Around Christmas I will be able to post pics.

Looks like the twin to the one I have.
Don't know much about the gun other than it is a sweet heart.
