Re: May not be original

I have a model 722 in 308 Win that I bought from a friend--provinence unknown. The serial is 738666 on the receiver and the 22" barrel code is LQ R4. The walnut stock has no checkering but has inlays in the foreend, end of the pistol grip and at the butt pad, with a nice Monte Carlo cheekpiece...

Re: Model Four

I was just handed down a remington model four from grandpa. I am trying to find information on it. All i can find is 1981 to 1987. Serial number starts with an A, and all remington serial number data says an A is 1980. Does anyone have any data on this? Thanks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remingt...

Re: Model 870 Vent Rib Attachment

You also did not mention what the gauge and barrel length of that 870 was.

Re: Model 870 Vent Rib Attachment

Can anyone tell me how the vent rib is attached on the 870 model? I have a friend who left the gun in a case and it is rusted to the point where it needs to be reblued. I know that hot bluing will separate the rib from the barrel if it is soft solder, but won't if it is attached with silver solder....

Re: Forum activity

The circumstances of how I happened to be on the forum was that I saw a reference to a book authored by John Gyde and Roy Marcot and did some searching.....and found this forum. Since I have a "fair number" of firearms including quite a few Remingtons, I decided to hang around and further ...

Re: Model 12B dating

I recently bought the 12B Gallery Special in rough condition needing repair. I can fix it and have ordered the parts. I have found no letters on the barrel to get a date of manufacture. My guess is it is before 1921, the serial number is 369367. Could anyone venture a guess on its date by the numbe...
