Remington Society

I agree with Researcher. It's probably a training shotgun. If it was a combat shotgun it would have a shorter barrel.Is the barrel serial numbered to the receiver?

While I never met Ken in person, I talked to him several times on the phone. He was always willing to share his vast knowledge of Remington CF Pump rifles. I have to say The Society has lost a valuable resource.
My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Ken!

I can't help identify the case. My best guess is, it's custom made, and could have been done by anybody with wood working experience.

In order to answer your question, we need information as to what kind it is.
Single or double barrel. If single, is it a pump or semi-auto?
Posting a photo would be the best, along with the serial number.

Don, I'm positive this is a cut down Remington Carbine not done by the factory. Someone heated the tangs and bent them for a pistol grip. Then made the grips and fore end. The barrel may be the cut original or a replacement. What is the caliber? I had a Model #4 Rolling Block that was modified the s...

I would say the RR code dates this as November 1968.
Also it appears that it is chambered for 22 shorts, and would be considered a Gallery rifle.

I was checking the up coming Rock Island Auction (Feb. 14-17), and was amazed to see so many Model 51's at one place. I have no connection to them, but wanted to point them out, in case your looking for one or more. There must be one of each variation, not all are factory original. It seems like a f...

First let me say I'm no expert, but this is my opinion. This is a customized 1917 Enfield military rifle. This is based on a conversion my father did back in the 50's. The military rifle had markings on top of the front of the receiver and on the original barrel.The "E" on the safety is an Eddystone...

Since the M-572 wasn't introduced until 1955 they can't be older than that.
The code DM is 9/1965 and the RM is 11/1965. The 572 was made in both Choke Bore and Regular Smooth Bore.
I don't know which is more common. I will say, I paid $500 for mine a few years back.
I hope this helps.

In my opinion, based on what I can see. This is a back lock percussion rifle made by a gunsmith
named Moore, who used a Remington made barrel. Remington started making barrels (1816) long before making complete firearms. As marlinman said more photos would be helpful.

The short answer is, the Model-52 is a modified M-51 in 380 cal. with an exposed hammer, similar to the M-53 in 45acp. When the Navy called for trials they only wanted a 45cal. with an exposed hammer, so as far as we know there was only one, what is called the M-52 produced. There are a couple of ar...

If the serial no. is engraved rather than stamped, it's a good indication it's custom shop, but
that isn't exact. As researcher said photos would help.

I believe you are correct, that it is a Remington-UMC frame. I would like to ask if it is Blue or parkerized? Many years ago I purchased, what I thought was a 1911 Rem.-UMC (very nice slide and markings), which had been government refinished. Only later did I find out it has a Colt frame. I guess th...

First let me say I'm not a gunsmith. The cap on the back end of the 550 is not for adjustment. The 550 has a floating chamber, sized to the length of a 22 short. It is designed to recoil with the cartridge. A long rifle cartridge extends past it thus reducing some of the recoil. At least I think so....

If it's in the original box, the date code should be on the end label.
