Rem Model 12-A
Re: Rem Model 12-A
Wow! Interesting gun. Your M/12 was made in 1911. The barrel was replaced later. That is obvious sine it has a 1912 patent date on the barrel. Also the only year The M/12-A made a 22 SHORT ONLY was 1935. There could be exceptions give or take a year but no more than that. It may have started it's life as a gallery gun...
Value? I wouldn't hazard a guess. Parts guns do not bring much.

John: Stamped on the barrel next to the receiver is what looks like TH. The T is stamped deep and the H is very light, if that is what it is. They are very close to the receiver, so hard to see the H plainly.

Re: Rem Model 12-A
Those letters can't be a date code. The "H" could stand for 1939, but the "T" isn't in the formula so it must just be inspection stamps.

John: Is there a way to get a letter from Remington stating what the original build specs were for the serial number stamped on the frame?

I'm quite sure that Rem does not have those records.

John: Here is a photo of the markings on the left side of the barrel. What's your idea of what it means? Thanks.

Re: Rem Model 12-A
It looks like a proof/testing/inspection mark. Remember that the barrel was no doubt removed from another rifle and added to yours.

Re: Rem Model 12-A
I have several 12-A's factorty 22 short only. Some of them were made in mid 1920's. I tried to post a picture of one on my phone, but it says image is too large.John Gyde wrote:Wow! Interesting gun.

Re: Rem Model 12-A
Also no date code on the barrel so it must be pre 1921. It also says UMC on the barrel.
