Re: Remington UMC Production Date

Bob,
From the information given, I believe you have an arsenal rework. You don't say the type of finish (blue or parkerized). If parkerized it definatly is refinished. Original finish was blue. From the information I have your serial number makes it a Colt frame produced in 1919. Does the serial ...

MWD
Your Model-51 was produced in 1926. If you look on the left side, on the front of the trigger guard, you should see two letters. The second should be a "T" for 1926, the first will be the code for the month. See the page on this site (http://www.remingtonsociety.com/rsa/questions/barrelcodes ...

Re: 581 single shot .22 smooth bore, need info. eastbank

eastbank,
There seems to be a discrepancy here. Remington made the 580 single shot
in smooth bore. However, I've never seen a smooth bore 581 (clip magazine). If it is
indeed a 581, I would think it is scarce. What is it marked on the top of the barrel?

I don't know what's available now, but I have a CD for Windows 95/98 and Macintosh on the same disc. It was by Head games Publishing.

Re: shotgun

Since Remington has made so many different shotguns, we would need more information to help you. Is it percussion or cartridge? Is it a single shot, pump, or semi-automatic action?
A picture would be the best way to identify it.

Re: Browning A5 mfg. by Remington?

Scotty, I have an American Browing 20ga with a Model-11 barrel. I don't know if it
is a direct replacement, or was gunsmith fitted. I don't have a M-11 20ga to try.
So it can be done, I'm just not sure how!

Re: Remington Nylon 10 22 ca.

nekshunter,

The Nylon 10 SB (smooth bore) bolt action is very collectable.
Having the box and papers increases the value.
For more information check out the Nylon collectors web site.

If it's for sale I would be interested.

Re: manitou210's threads. WOW

sooper,

Let me add my comments as to originality.I agree it is original checkering.
Remington made 3 variations of the Model 30. (4 if you count carbines)
The 30A had a plain stock with grooves on the fore end, rear sight on the receiver.
The 30 Express had a smooth fore end with checkering on it ...

Re: Browning A5 mfg. by Remington?

I have an American Browning, and there is a Remington code on the right side of the barrel
just in front of the receiver. This code conforms with Remington's. The letter "J" is 1940, there should be a letter in front of it indicating the month. Since your serial # is C it indicates it is 20 gauge. A ...

Re: rolling block #2

bozodog,
I'm no expert on Rolling Blocks, but from what I see in the photos, this is a Model #1-1/2.
The #2 has a curved frame where it meets the butt stock. The Model #1-1/2 has a thinner
frame than the #1, and the # 1 has shoulders on the stock where it meets the frame.

I my opinion it's more ...

Re: Model 17 questions

rooster,
Your M-17 was made on 1/ '26 the BT. The 3 indicates that it was returned to the factory for service on 6/ '31 the PZ. I can't say if the pad was factory or not. Remington did install red rubber pads made by Hawkins at some point in time, but I don't have information at hand as to the years ...

Re: Double Barrel Rolling Block Pistol

I got my information from an auction catalog where one was sold.
I would have to do more research to see if I can find who or where it was used.
I will post any additional information if I can find it

Re: Double Barrel Rolling Block Pistol

E. Remington & Sons licensed E. & L. Nagant Brothers, in Belgium to manufacture their Rolling Block System firearms, circa 1881/94. It is estimated that 1,100 Double barrel Roling Block pistols were manufactured. The caliber is reported to be 9mm. However, I have no idea what cartridge it might use ...

Re: 742 problem

John,
Let me start by saying I am not a gunsmith. But it seems to me that a light hit on the primer would indicate the bolt is not locking up all the way. You know the fireing pin is free, and it will fire so the head space must be too great. It could very well be that the clip is slowing the bolt ...

I should have mentioned that this posting should have been in the post 1898 listing!
