Remington of Old

[450yukon]

Here are some of my old Remingtons.

The 14 1/2 appears to have not been used much. The cartridge guide and extractor seem to have not been machined properly and won’t work with Remingtons or Winchester brass as there is a very slight ballooning out in the headstamp. Maybe old Peter’s or UMC was different but STARLINE feeds fine. Has a few marks but for being over 110 yrs with DOC and rack # looks good and bore is vg.

The model 14-35R was bought from a shop down east many years back and was described to me as a refurbished firearm hence the low price. I didn’t think it had been worked on and grabbed it quick! And it’s almost a 100yrs old with a great bore too.

The .25 REM really has me stumped. It has a very high polish bluing but the barrel address and calibre stamp are still raised enough that a braille person would be able to read.
Just my thinking that degree of polishing would have obliterated raised edges unless it was stamped after the polishing before the bluing.
Any thoughts? Did Remington have a custom shop 95yrs ago?

Yes. Remington had special order options for the model 14 along with most any guns they made back then.

Remington hasn't been ahead of the curve since they brought out the Rolling Block.

Yes, Remington of Old, or even, Remington of Gold. It's most unfortunate what occured to this firearm company. Such great guns they manufactured, somewhat sad.

My personal choice for the best Remington of old would be the 720. Their 30 model all dressed up. - dan

My favorite old Remington is the 1882 Remington Lee Sporting Rifle in 45-70.
