Re: Remington 600 in .223 REM


(Remington 600 serial numbers began at the 10000 mark). 1000 maybe, but not 10000.


You are correct; I got happy with my finger tapping the 0 key and put one too many. Thank you for the correction. Not sure why you would post this publicly, yet PM me for more infromation and validation. But I ...

Re: Trying to identify .22 "US Property"

That is a Model 513-T It was the only version that the US Military used in that series in mass. The 513S and the 521T share the same bolt handle so it is not an indicator, and the same receivers; only the combination of the handle and the receiver stamped "US Property " indicates it is the Military ...

Re: Remington 600 in .223 REM

Thank for the pictures!

The final year of production for the Remington 600 was 1967. For the Remington 600 in .223 REM caliber, only 227 were produced and are considered the rarest of the calibers chambered.

Blue Book of Gun Values indicated that the Remington Standard 600 was never listed in a ...

Re: Odd 700


I need another '06 like a high colonic. I do like the looks of it, though.


I have to agree with you on both! My weakness is the.270 Winchester. There is a used 700 ADL at the gun store right now that keeps beckoning me back to buy it, and I have been able to resist so far .. I feel almost like ...

Re: Remington 600 in .223 REM

If you post photos of the rifle, all of the stamps in the metal and if you can take the stock off and take pictures of the trigger assembly, I sure there are folks here who can help.

Re: Odd 700

Ahhh, my mistake; I do not know why my eyes (and brain) ignored your link to the rifle. Now that I have seen the other picture, you are correct: the rifle is foreign-made. It has both the Italian Brescia Provisional Proof, star above the shield with two crossed rifles, and the star above the PFS is ...

Re: Odd 700


Stock is not factory, nor is the checkering a pattern one they used and its certainly not pressed, its at least machine cut.

Forend tip is a light contrasting wood with no spacer.

The bolt handle is vastly different from a Rem handle and likely not 'reworked', but a totally new handle welded on ...

Re: Odd 700

Definitely has had work done to the bolt. I can't tell much from this one picture except that I doubt this rifle was modified outside the US. The Stock is a factory stock; you can tell by the pressed checkering and the forearm checkering pattern. A custom shop would have hand-cut the checkering. I ...

Re: Odd 700

Without pictures, it's hard to determine anything, everything is a guess based on text descriptions. European proofs are well documented and legally required, no matter who's doing the modification, but I'd still need to see pictures.

Re: Odd 700

You would be right. I think a lot of the active members have aged out. But that said. I would be interested to see a picture of the rifle. I might be able to identify the proof stamps. The stock you are describing is very common replacement stock. It sounds like a high-grade walnut with a rosewood ...

Re: M700 Classic engineering “mistake” . . .

Comparing a handgun blowing out a magazine to a bolt-action rifle is a completely false equivalency. A handgun has thin wood, polymer, or aluminum grips wrapped directly around the magazine right where your hand sits. A Remington 700 magazine well is encased in a massive steel receiver ring, a heavy ...

Re: M700 Classic engineering “mistake” . . .

Hatcher's modification to the Springfield is spot on, the comparison to the Remington 700 misses how a modern push-feed system handles gas. Remington engineers didn't drop the ball here; they designed a completely different, multi-layered gas handling system. The Springfield 1903 is an open Mauser ...

What are you looking for in a stock? Did you just want wood or composite? You can find stocks off the shelf for the Remington 700 Long Action from many places; Magpul makes one you can buy on Amazon, MidwayUSA, Brownells, BassPro, Cabela's. You can get wood stocks from Microfit Stocks (required ...
