Beware of scammers.

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 ...

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 ...

Rayman, thank you for the help and all of the information. It appreciated.

Is there a listing of the Remington firearms that have been part of the museum and ILION'S ARCHIVES? I've collected a database of more than 1024 Remington 550 series rifles, and I have seen a lot of interesting rifles, but one that has just been put up for auction on Gun Broker has really put my ...

Thank Jason, I figgure June/July before I have a draft into the folks who will proof read it.

Writing this book on the Remington 550 series rifles is taking a toll on my gun money. I picked up rifle number 10 today that I won at auction. It's always kind of a crap shoot when you buy a rifle from an online auction because you really never know the condition of the rifle. I got lucky this time ...

Af1991, Now that I have collected data on 914 Remington 550 rifles, I might be able to get you the manufacture date for your rifle. But I will need some information to help narrow the dates down. Can you tell me if your rifle has:

1. Serial Number on the rear, left side of the receiver?
2. If the ...
