Here is a photo of the sight I am looking for:

I am looking the Lyman aperture sight (similar to a tang sight) for my Remington Model 12C. Does anybody know someone who might have one that they would sell. I watched an auction of a Model 12 with a peep sight on Gunrunner. It sold for $150 with a bulged barrel. I should have bought it for parts, ...

Thanks Dave. I will stick with the Federal fodder for my Model 12. I will look closely at the bolt face feed grooves (for wear) and the edges of the extractor (for burrs).

The failure to feed comes any stage of magazine loading from ten rounds down to the last round but only with the Remington Standard velicity ammo. However, as I said above it functions perfectly with Federal standard velocity ammo...every round all the time. Gee, you would think that a Remington rif...

Is it possible there is a bunch of grease packed in behind the extractor which makes it not want to slide over the rim? Is the extractor damaged? Noel, The extractor and its spring have been cleaned and oiled and seem to move freely with the spring itself providing the primary resistance. I can mov...

I spent some more time looking at the bolt face and watching a slow feed process. The main resistance to the cartridge rising up into the grooves on the bolt face comes from the extractor as it drags on the edge of the shell casing just above the rim. The edge of the extractor at its lower shoulder ...

On the suggestion regarding bullet nose issues I checked the Good feeding Federals against the rough feeding Remington ammo. Actually, the Remington looks better with a somewhat more pointed and polished nose with a coating of a slick black lube. The federal ammo is the more blunt of the two with a ...

I have only used WW Wildcats and the old Imperial hollowpoints. Both fed very well in my three 12's. I wonder if the ones that hang up for you may have the flat nose profile that alot of Rem brand ammo has. That may be enough to cause the hang up where a more common round nose profile which the gun...

I have a Remington Model 12C that I took to the range for the first time yesterday. Accuracy is great but I has some minor feed issues. When I loaded Remington Standard Velocity LR ammo (Green and light blue box) I get some rounds that hang up at the edge of the chamber mouth and won't feed unless I...

The US Model of 1917 had a short but furious history in combat in WWI. As you know they were produced by Remington, Eddystone (sort of a Remington plant) and Winchester (that's what I have). They were actually produced and issued in far larger numbers than the more famous Springfield 03. After the A...

Hello all, I am translating a text written by a Russian soldier who was a scout in a rifle battalion that was involved in the defence of Moscow in 1941. He is basically giving the battalion TO&E and refers to the submachine gun platoon (this was quite a common concept in the RKKA - they even ha...

I have a 12C and the marking on the receiver simply says Model 12. I think that is common.

SUCCESS! I got it figured out and it ejects perfectly now. My rifle has a late style ejector which is a plunger and coil spring screwed into the Triger Group frame behind the hammer and recessed into the stock. It is supposed push the firing pin out to act as an ejector at the rear of the opening s...

I just got a Remington Model 12C and it won't eject. I cycled some dummy rounds thorugh it and feeds from the mag tube just fine. The firing pin makes a definite strike impression on the rim. The round extracts perfectly but it does not eject. I am not familiar with these rifles as this is my first ...

I just got a Remington Model 12C rifle from Gunrunner Auctions. Photos are attached. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k95/97thSignalman/RemModel12CfullRH.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k95/97thSignalman/RemMod21CRtView.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k95/97thSignalman/RemMod12CRH.jpg
