Beware of scammers.

Bought one on eBay this morning. Hopefully this will just slide in.

Please excuse my comment if it's inappropriate. But... after reading the date on a much older serial I had to inquire. 13,306 were made between serial numbers

I was mistaken on guesstimating this shotgun was a 1935 model... Perhaps the researcher can nail it down to a better date.

I am considering ...

I've been actively searching the model 11 market for some time. Mostly for 20ga, however I believe what I am going to tell you is true.

Because it's a mixed breed your chances of getting more than a few hundred bucks is very low. Many 12ga model 11 shotguns out there that are of greater value ...

Thanks for the information Tom. I've grown to appreciate some of the Remington rifles and shotguns. Wish I were younger so I would have more years to collect and display them.

I have just acquired an older 550-1 in nice shape. But would like to know more about it's age. Attached are some photos of it. The last photo shows a barrel marking looks like 22 with a squiggle... any idea? If you can provide mfg date info I'd really appreciate a PM 20240904_222617.jpg 20240904 ...

The following serial number information is for Remingtion firearms manufactured after 1921

Remingtons manufactured after 1921 have a code located on the left side of the barrel near the frame that identifies the year and month of manufacture. The following letters correspond to the months of the ...

No Serial so pre 68. But no clue as to mfg date...
Anyone know from the attached photos what it is ?

You should check out the Facebook page Remington 788 Lovers has a gazillion members all over the world. Never thought when I founded this group that it would go as far as it has...

Lots of great people to visit with and share your admiration for the 788.

Thanks for the explanation. I figured it had to be a different bolt weight & spring. But the floating chamber was an interesting thing that I thought Remington used again and again.

I've considered getting a 550-1. A good friend has one that I helped him find a stock for. But the unsophisticated ...

I have recently purchased three Remington model 552's. I've been installing my 2lb or 3lb trigger spring in them with great success. However had one that was giving me trouble firing anything. Hammer strike noise heard, but no BANG followed it... This rifle probably the youngest in the batch was ...

The failure to cycle was caused by the trigger not resetting. I installed a 3lb spring and everything resumed operating properly.
This is not the rule, but an exception to the 2lb spring being perfect for ALL 552's. Trigger mechanisms are made in different years and although perhaps made from the ...

Took the trigger group out and inspected it. Found nothing obvious. Reassembled and fire tested it. Now it loads ok, but the trigger isn't resetting. It's a single shot ! Obviously there is something interfering with the trigger mechanism... which is very clean. All the levers move freely and there ...

Bought a 552, and it was Filthy but functioned well. I had a tough time getting the barrel out. Took it to Miller's Gun in Jacksonville NC to have him remove it without damaging anything. Then brought it home to clean. Four hours later I had it looking pretty again. Reassembled using a Youtube Video ...

See variations on the 1100 SKEET shotguns. Just recently purchased a 410 SKEET-T, with beautiful figure and high gloss finish & laser cut checkering.

Anyone have the info, or a link to where it can be found.

Thanks for the correction. There were markings on it that lead me to believe it was 1967. I was/am looking for a 24" Rem-choke VR barrel for it. Am selling the 21" "Special Field" Rem-choke VR barrel asking $550 due to rarity. I did get a 28" barrell but don't know if my wife will be happy with that ...
