I am having trouble with a model 1894 sxs, 12 ga, that seems to be unusally stiff to break open and eject. I can't do it without almost having to take it across my knee, and I really don't want to do that too much.

Any clues ? Lubrication doesn't seem to affect the issue, nothing clicking, clanking or rubbing that I can hear.

  The Remington 1894 SxS hammerless was made in six grades, which affect the value greatly.
  
  Can you describe the engraving (if any)?

  If it does have some engraving, but only a small amount, I'm going to assume it's a Grade BE.
  
  Here's what the latest Blue Book gives for values:
  
  50% = $1000
  60% = 1400
  70% = 1700
  80% = 2000
  90% = 2200
  95% = 2500
