Remington Society

As admin stated, a photo of the barrel markings would be the most accurate identifier. The various type/models are primarily determined by the company names and placement. Is yours marked E. Remington & sons, Remington Arms Co., or Remington Arms U.M.C.? If Remington Arms Co., then the style and len...

54bullseye While I don't collect Remington Pump 22's, I did collect 22 smoothbores. After looking at many M-12,121, and 572's, I would agree that both the 121 short and Remington special are scares, if not rare. Also a M-12 in smoothbore would be in the same category. Regarding your mention of the "...

Being a charter member of the RCCC, I was wondering what had happened to the club. It seems when Bear took over distribution the annual Club knives stopped. Now that Buck has partnered with Remington on the knives I thought maybe the Club would continue. I inquired of Remington about this and this w...

Yes, You are correct KD on your UMC Mono block is May of 1935.

Since this is late production, there should be a date code on the barrel locking lug.
My old eyes can't see if it shows in the photos.
If all original finish, it would be rare, but I can't tell from the photos.

I don't know how many Nylon collectors visit this site, but you might have better luck posting this

I'm not a gunsmith, but I have several 51's
I agree with Steven, since the barrel is pined to the frame, the problem must be with the breach block and/or the slide.

Jim, The Richard A Bourne Auction Catalog of the Karl F Moldenhauer collection , October 29 1980, has hand drawn sketches, showing some differences between the Belt Model Single Action (SA) and the Rider Double Action (DA). You will also see listed 5 SA's and 10 DA's with descriptions it has been ou...

I would say you have a Model 12, that has had the barrel replaced with a Model 121. I have one like this. Look on the left side of the barrel near the receiver, there should be some code letters which will date the barrel. There might even be a "3", indicating it was done at the factory. Most likely...

I guess this is good news for some people, but what the heck is it, what would
I do with it, and why would I want it?
Just verifying my lack of internet technology.

The Remington catalog of 1902 lists the #2 Rolling Block as being available in various
rim fire and center fire calibers. It does show that it was available in C F 25-20, 25-21, & 25-25 Stevens. As well as 25-10 Stevens R F.
Sorry, I can't help with reloading information.

jetmek,
I'm sorry to report that Charles Semmer has passed away.
I don't recall how many years ago, but his legacy is in his book.

I agree with researcher the "A" is an inspector mark and the date code is RP 11/67.
This is based on my 600A ERI SN 043xxV which is dated OP 7/67.
I hope this helps!

Texas Jack, While your 1875 is all original Remington, it is composed of two different issues. The frame with its high serial no. and round firing pin are from a later production. While the barrel with the pinched front sight is from the earlier production. My guess is the barrel, ejector, and cylin...

A source, which I believe to be very reliable, has told me that Remington will be reintroducing the Model R-51
in the very near future. Maybe early in July. I'm told it will be much improved over their first release!

Watch for it.
