With that serial number it has to be an 1894.
They made 42,000 of them from 1894-1910 other then a swag I can't date it better. You might try the Remington Society of America someone will know them better there. Also NO do NOT use modern ammo.

oh I should have mentioned, the serial numbers started at 100,000
