Remington Society

You are comparing apples to oranges with your pics. The second rifle you posted a pic of is a late model. I believe this came about in the mid 90s where LH was added to the model altho I can't find any substantiation.

Just my humble opinion but the counterbore will likely cause havoc with accuracy as crowning properly is likely impossible. Although no one would want to shorten a 300 too much, losing the length would likely be better overall and have the bullet leave a well cut crown. Has this been gone over by a ...

Are you saying a 2005 or 2006 gun? or a 2005 30-06 gun?

What Den said. 1978 for the "standard" barrel to drop to 21 inches. Before that there was the 2 lengths; the shorter called a "carbine". Now the carbine length is full length. Confused yet? Also, the serial number should begin with A, not?. People call the 600 centrefire series &...

Produced 62-69. Total BDLs in 222RM- 2842

315 made. IIRC Remington used 1 in 14 for both the 222 and 222RM. Use a tight fitting lubed patch on a jag with a cleaning rod to be sure.

Meant where are you going shooting? But guess I'm late to the party now! LOL

Where? Maybe I could bring my 541 and 581 out too?

Lemme know how you make out! Curious who mite pick up the call.

West Luther Gun repair possibly. Not positive Wayne Hendry is still at it there but he was the Remington man years back. not spoke to him in some time. 519 848 6260

The 1993 Classics are M or (mostly) N. Unsure but the E may, and only "may", indicate the "enhanced" models and without seeing a picture of the stampings, I'd date yours 1999 just before they stopped stamping the date code on the barrel for a short time. Do you have the box it ca...

We're looking at the same page. I took the 8 for a 3 so you are correct. I'm not privy to the barrel letters as did not see them. Not overly versed on the 30s myself. Just wasn't sure you saw the book listing.

I'm seeing Nov, 1930 in the "Serial Numbers by date (factory record book)" above the letter codes on the dating page

What vintage? I consider myself pretty handy but was only able to confidently take my 1954 apart so far. Have had pull-through cleaning accessories for this and a 742 for years.
