Identify Rem 22

Post by parson45 »

A friend has brought me a Remington 22 that I cannot identify. It is a pump action, with no model number that I can see. Top ejection, tube magazine, serial no. 64XXX. On the barrel is the following:
Pedersen's patent Oct 12. 9
Mar 8. 10
Jul 8. 10
Nov 21.11
Apr 8 (and the rear sight screw covers any other number).

Any ideas of what this is?

Rem 22

Parson Colt:

Remington has made three pump action 22 rifles, none of which are top ejecting.

The rifle you describe sounds closest to a Model 12. It would have been made in 1911 judging by the serial number. But... the patent dates don't match with the rifles I have seen. Also, I can't imagine what type of rear sight would reach forward far enough to block out part of the patent dates. Does your rifle have REMINGTON ARMS CO. stamped on the barrel???

Mystery solved. This is a Winchester 1890 that some gunsmith fitted with a Remington barrel decades ago. Too bad. Thanks for the info.
