I was on my Wife's laptop earlier and was winging my response. A few guns were ordered with longer chamb ers and are usually so marked. Generally, 10-gauge Model 1894s had 2 7/8 inch chambers, 12-gauge had 2 5/8 inch chambers and 16-gauge had 2 9/16 inch chambers. As with ejectors, grade designations got an O appended if a gun had the Ordnance Steel barrels - AO-, AEO-, BO-, BEO-, CO-, CEO-, etc. On the A- and B-grades the Ordnance Steel barrels cost extra, but were the same price on C-Grade and above as their fancier Damascus barrels. During 1897, Remington began offering 16-gauge guns, and began offering their very strong Ordnance Steel barrels. In the early years Model 1894 doubles were offered in 10- and 12-gauge and all were fitted with Damascus barrels. If the gun has automatic ejectors the written grade designation has an E appended - AE-, BE-,CE-, DE- or EE-Grade. The Model 1894 was made in five grades ascending from A to E. A gun in the 102xxx range would have been made in 1895. Model 1894 hammerless doubles serial numbers began at 100000.
