The hammer will be in the cocked position. Nothing will happen until you pull the trigger.
The trigger on a cannon breach shotgun works by releasing the hammer when the shooter is ready to fire. This strikes a firing pin when in turn ignites the gun power in the shell casing.
Depends on what your shotgun is. If you have one of the older hammered shotguns (exposed hammer), you can decock them the same way you would any other firearm with an exposed hammer - you gently lower the hammer with your thumb. If you have a shotgun which doesn't have an exposed hammer, your only feasible way of going about this is to empty the magazine, be especially certain to ensure that the chamber is empty, and pull the trigger.
The 1894 was a side by side barrel the 1893 was the single shot
Try gun shows, libraries.
a good gun smith can fit screws to the gun. Finding the original screws will be almost impossible.
SINGLE? external hammer? The other is not missing? If this is a double it could be one of several models sometimes determined by the serial no because of quantity made but otherwise a good description is needed. Remington did not make a single external hammer shotgun. If you think this is incorrect send me mail/picture hit the service desk at the Remington Society of America and mail comes to me. http://remingtonsociety.com

I have two 1878 Jas Parker & Sons double barrel shotguns.
I would have to do some searching to verify this, but I don't believe Stevens ever made a shotgun using percussion caps.
