Re: Early Model 141 Questions Please!
The answer is that he doesn't want to read anything or learn anything or know anything, he just wants you to spoon feed him the answer. I may sound bitter, but people like that you can't help. My thoughts are that iskra just wants to brag to his buddies about his rare rifles he owns. The change of ...

Re: Early Model 141 Questions Please!
It was actually from just having read Ken’s excellent article on the 141 Carbine that caused me to again think about both my transition 14/141 and my quite early, minty, “Gamemaster” marked 141 with forged sight base. Both in 35 Remington. I’d very much like to have Ken’s book, but my actual questio...

Early Model 141 Questions Please!
Several Model 141 questions please. 1. Is there a highest known/estimated serial number for the early so called “transition model” using the Model 14 barrel and lacking the “Gamemaster” nomenclature? 2. Is there a lowest known/estimated “Gamemaster” marked Model 141 wearing the ‘new’ 24” barrel? 3. ...

Wither REMINGTON!
Having initiated a thread in another forum concerning the fate of Remington the firm, I'd referenced a recent New York Times article. (Web link just below) In subsequent 'give & take', my latest 'take' a somber 'waxing poetic' reflected below. Perhaps a bit over the edge, yet it well represents ...

Re: 720 Stocks?
First of all, an apology for the somewhat confusing double posting. I realized it before I did the final 'click' to post. Just by then very frustrated about inability to correct it editorially and also a comedy of errors in trying to post multiple photos! I was by then tired, grumpy and needed a gen...

Re: 720 Stocks?
I've just noted in the Preview that I have a double post going here. But not showing in the edit section at all! So just to leave it. Happened when I added a pic of one of my 720 models. So anyway, have a double and... on me! R53-2U.jpg First thanks for some good information concerning the interchan...

Re: Remington 30S 30-06
As you have surmised, I also believe your stock in not original. The photo you’ve just posted does appear to be an original Model 30S reflecting the “improved” later “NRA” stock configuration. I've just had a quick refresher look at my own photo file regarding two of my Models 30 straddling your rif...

Re: Model 760 date code too early
Thanks very much for the information. It sounds like Remington played a little fast and loose with getting their new models to market. I suppose I can understand a month or two around the holidays for my .308, but the .222 situation... as the old refrain from September Song goes: "But it's a lo...

Re: Remington 30S 375H&H Custom?
I just came upon your post. Certainly not an expert, but it appears to me that the stock isn't factory for the Model 30. I have a couple of late 30 models and the stock doesn't appear as yours. Yet really, does that make any difference? It looks OK esthetically for a 'custom' rifle. If it fits and y...

Model 760 date code too early
A recent Thread on the Model 760 referred to information that the model was produced in .308 from 1957 onward to 1980. If so, my 760 in 308 is a 'tilt'! Mine is a very nice specimen seemingly all original in every detail. Yet the date code on the left side of the barrel is "RC" and followe...

Re: Remington 30 Questions
The Lyman 48 sight should fit precisely the contour of the mating receiver bridge surface to which it attaches. Unless the receiver bridge or the sight base has been altered, presumably it is not the correct sight; such particularly so when the sight is not a mix & match situation as you confirm...

Re: What Remington 700 do I have?
The 700 BDL has the bottom metal with floorplate assembly. The ADL has the so-called "blind magazine" with wood forward of the trigger guard unit. In general, the BDL reflects a higher value than the ADL model.
