Thanks for your interest and response marlin1893, I collect these. To help with the mfg date of my Hepburn I took it off the wall to examine and find the ser#is actually 3615. The bbl is 30” and stamped on the underside; 40.2 1/2. Hunting grade with chekered round knob pg/ S-curved steel buttplate w...

Thanks, Your tip on the 40 2/12 cases is just what I hoped for, I will order 50. Still hoping someone can shed light on just when this rifle was built. I don’t know if ser#s overlaps with other models but I am wondering if this one could be old enough to be a genuine “Buffalo Rifle” as so many claim...

Hello fellow Remington enthusiasts, Question; Can anyone give me at least an approximate date of mfg. for my Number-3 Rem/Hepburn ser#3683? Sad to say I have owned this fine rifle since 1979 and still don’t know. Also, in the past I had loaded 30-40 Krag cases in the 40-2 1/2 chamber only to find ex...

Hello model81, I recently bought a collector M-25 missing the Marbles tang sight also, and after study found that replacing it was not going to be as easy as I thought. Turns out the R-11 sight has a 21/2” hole to hole measurement to the stock hole exclusive to this sight. If the Marbles sight previ...

Hello,
Hope you have to sell what I need. Will buy a nice condition R-11 to fit the hole on top of my Remington M-25 stock that measures 2 1/2” hole to hole to match. Contact can be to tomytc@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Tom Carli

Last try, as it doesn’t seem to be working for me with attaching pics. Tried my best.
Sorry..

I’ll try again as my first attempt to include photos failed. again, Remington M-1889 12ga grade one.

Hello, My son recently acquired this 12ga in what appears to be grade 1, but in a condition I wouldn’t expect to find for its age. Story has it that great grandpa bought it new and while staying in the family passed through three generations of closets. Can anyone shed an opinion on what this was an...

Thanks Jim, And right you are about shaving off lead using pistol bullets, I should have mentioned the importance of using gas checks and seating depth and I learned this the hard way. Attention to bore cleaning is crucial after using alloy bullets in rifles without gas checks. Much of the pleasure ...

Thanks Jim, Yours, like mine, is a custom stock and thanks for the photo. I disassembled the whole rifle after I got it and cleaned everything and found nothing stamped on the stock, but it is sure to be one of my favorites to shoot. 35cal loaded with cast/jacketed bullets @ around 1600fps is way fu...

Hank, I looked at the pics of your 760 and must say they are done the same at the cheeks and checkered wrists. Yours seems to have the correct grip cap/bp as well. I would say a strong case exists that it was factory done when it was returned to Remington. Not so much with mine as neither the grip c...

Not restricted to Remingtons this is often found. It’s all about metallurgy. The hot nitre blue often used (and others) reacts differently to steel with a high nickel content. Often these parts look perfectly blued but after 6mos or more will begin to turn reddish/purple looking. Winchester encounte...

No, not a mark. The only mark on the wood anywhere is the number 35 on the inner tip of the forend that I assume refers to the cal. The buttplate is one I have seen on other Remingtons but is unmarked, same with the grip cap. I removed the buttplate from another M-14 from the same year and did find ...

Still trying to understand just what This Remington M-14 is and have attached two more photos of the stock. The standard opinion is that it is after market. The rifle is from 1927 and when I received it everything looked that old before applying TLC. I would sure like to hear from someone that has s...

A question for Remington collectors: Attached are pics of my .32cal. It would seem the role stamps and lack of stamping on the receiver when compared to the ser# don’t match up. If it’s not a M-1900, And not stamped as a M-8, and is serial numbered in the 34K range then just what is it? A parts clea...
