E SS would make sense and fit the timeline 241's were made. E = October, SS = 1947.

With no factory barrel marks, it must be a re-barrel. Yes 244 and 6mm are the same.
Check the twist with a cleaning rod and a tight patch. Measure the rods length traveled in one complete turn.

Pressure, yes. I would guess those are reloaded ammo. Don't use them. If factory, then something is wrong. Good time to start reloading with the use of a good book.

My Dad taught me to test the 721-2 triggers with firm bolt closing, and bouncing the butt on the floor after every maintenance session. Dad had 721s (first a 270) since 1949. My first Rem was a 725 270 in 1959. I was 10. With care and proper adjustment the rifles were safe.

The moral of the story is - that people should let the factory trigger alone if they don't know what they are doing!

Regular inspection and cleaning is important too. But you still got to know what you are doing

I have a 700 in 25-06. It is a bit beat up already. So after hearing about the broadcast and the safety issues I took it out. Loaded the clip. Cranked a round in the chamber. Pointed it in a safe direction and proceeded to beat the crap out of it. I smacked the but stock against a stump. I beat aga...

Stock and floor plate are both after market. The standard 1960 722's were stocked rather plainly. Factory upgrades were available, but the stock pictured is not one of them. Nicely done though.

All I ever deer hunt with are 721 or 725 in 270 or 3006. Varmints have a little variety, but mostly use 722 222. Elk is a different story, used a M70 338, pre 64 of course. Come to think of it I carried a 722 300Sav for deer one time. Oh and then there was the peep sighted early M54 3006 one time. S...

Entered.
Are you sure that is a "B" month code?

googled info for my own curiosity Not much, but it give the idea. http://shootersforum.com/printthread.htm?t=10329 http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=234284 http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=309095 http://cgi.ebay.ph/1958-FLAIGS-GUN-AMMO-STORE-MILLVALE-PA-AD-ART-/2003809...

Yep. 280 barreled Belgian Mauser. That action was used under several brand names.

Checkering looks very poor. Not usual B pattern.

That is definitely a built rifle. Bolt stop and barrel. How much "under" 1" are the groups? A swift ought to shoot under .5" at 100yds in its prime. Swift barrels are shot out rather quickly. I had a 722 barreled like that huge long barrel in 6mm. 3/8" groups were on the bad...

I do not consider the Model 700 as being "introduced" in 1962. There is so little difference between the 700s and the Models 721 and 722. I consider the Remington Models 721, 722, and 700 as "introduced" in 1947, and continue to this day with some cosmetic changes and some engine...

If that has factory markings and sight screw holes, it could most likely be a 40xb type barrel poorly installed in a 700 action. Not putting the holes on top sucks. Although it might still shoot tiny groups. My old 6mm 40x shoots 1/4"
