Remington Model-11

A Model 11 in good shape is a fine shotgun. They shoot rapidly (like, all five empties in the air rapidly), and are pretty much failure free.
Releasing the bolt...if you want to know what it sounds like, go to your bank and ask them to slam the vault shut. __________________

Remington Model 58 barrel question

No it will not. Totally different barrel ring. A barrel can be made from an 870 barrel, all that needs to be done is to drill two gas ports. I would strongly advise getting someone who knows what they are doing to handle it. If you have the tooling and some skills, and an existing barrel to use as a guide for port sizes and angles, it isn't difficult.

Budget Remington 700 Build

Just finished putting together my 700. Wanted to build something inexpensive but powerful with allot of reach, really happy with how it came out. It's a Remington 700 ADL in 7mm Rem Mag. The scope is a Millet trs-1. Really like the look with this scope, can't wait to get to the range with it. As well as it shot with the crappy scope it came with it should be great with a decent one

What kind of distance to you guys think I could realistically get out of this gun/scope combo? I have had it to the range once with the junk scope it came with and it did 1" groups at 50y easily, I don't see less then 1" at 100y being a problem after a little practice.

Remington shotgun bead

The front bead of my Remington 11-87 is too big, too high and too bright, and I tend to shoot to low with it. I'd like to mount a a lower and less bright one, perhaps a simple Marble silver bead.

But how does the bead sit into the rib - pressed or threaded? And which thread?

Thankful as usual for your inputs - I will order a new bead when I know what I need.

Regards,

Pete

Remington 700 .308 (Factory)

I know I'll never get 1 MOA with my current barrel Why not? I get MOA with a bone stock Remington 700 ADL, made in 1983 and it's still wearing its factory barrel. If the barrel isn't shot out, MOA is fairly easy to achieve.

Most factory rifles nowadays are easily capable of MOA shooting. That wasn't the case 30 years ago, but nowadays most of us take a 1-inch rifle as a basic requirement for bolt rifles.

Try the rifle before you take the barrel off. It may surprise you.

4 Digit Remington 700 surfaces

Yesterday, 05:58 PM Location: Springfield, South Carolina4 Digit Remington 700 surfaces A friends estate collection is being sold off and lo and behold there is a Rem 700 ADL in 308 and it now has a new home. I have never seen a 700 this old and the workmanship beats what I am seeing today hands down.
I don't think this thing has seen 50 rounds, both locking lugs contact evenly and the striker indent appears to be dead center. The trigger has nice adjustment and no creep.

The quality of workmanship I see today won't touch this beauty.

Complete with beautiful Weaver V9 that is mint.

In thinking back I have never seen a 700 that did not have at least six digits.

When I pulled it out of the case I did a casual look over and I did a double take when I saw only four digits ! ! !! ! I have a Pre War Mod 70 with a four digit number as well.

Yes I will never forget my friend. I also got a new unfired Tikka T3 Stainless and a Glock 23 with low rounds as well. He had priced everything when he was terminal and I am giving his wife exactly what he had recorded.

There is also a NIB CZ85 Combat all chromed up. Would make a great hood ornament haha.

At one time I had the code sheet for Remingtons but alas I guess it went out when my hard drive was erased last Christmas to get rid of all the crud on it.

Anybody got a http of where I could get a new copy? I think it only sold for like $131.00 when it came out ! ! ! ! !

There is also a Rem 870 old one that appears unfired with a Paragon Slug barrel and compensator. I researched it and they still have some in stock at Midway. Absolutely beautiful slug barrel but I am not into shotguns or slug guns but if I were this would be a keeper for me as well. I have never seen such a nice looking barrel on any shotgun as there is lots of really beautiful workmanship in this tube. Has a Simmons variable scope as well.

Swapping barrels/Headspace - Remington 7600

I have never actually changed a barrel on that rifle, but typically barrels for say remingtons are short chambered a bit. When you fit the barrel then it is finish reamed by hand and that is when the headspace is set. Also indexed and sight cuts/sights installed.

In theory if you remove the barrel, and use the same recoil lug then the sights should line back up after a remove and install, but in reality they could end up slightly off.

IMO if you want to swap barrels around you are better off getting a rifle with a bolt action with a barrel nut like a savage. Savage you can change a barrel in about 2 minutes and there are tons of Savage barrels floating around.

Now they also make Remage barrels and nuts that allow a barrel swap on a remington bolt action. Remage Barrels run about $300 for those and are all custom.

You can pick up a factory take off barrel off the Savage forum for about $65-75 usually.

.35 Remington Load testing

Got out today and finally got a chance to test out some loads for my Marlin 336. Shooting was done at 50yds off of a rest in 5 shot groups. These were without a doubt the best 2 groups of the day.

This load is a 200gr Remington Core-lokt bullet over 35.5gr of IMR 4320.

This one is a Sierra Pro Hunter 200gr RN over 34.0gr of H335

I like the results with the H335 but it throws a pretty good fireball out the end of the barrel, this does not happen with the IMR 4320. I may have to try the 4320 with the Sierra bullets and see how that goes. I certainly can't complain about these groups since they were fired with iron sights.

Restoring a Remington Model 11 on a budget

You most likely will never get the metal looking good by hand. A bench mounted buffer and a number of different compounds will be required to prep it for any kind of bluing. Once the metal is prepped, you can cold blue it, there are a couple of the newer ones that will look ok, but will not give you what you are really going to be looking for after all the work getting the metal ready. Deep pits you will have to live with, try taking those out and you could make a dangerous gun.

Anything you spend on it in the way of a professional blue, Parkerizing or Ceracoat is going to cost way more than the gun itself would ever be worth.

I know they make a Ceracoat that can be applied cold, but again, the stuff is kind of expensive. I also think the make a Parkerizing that you can do yourself, again, not sure about the cost. Cold blue you can buy for just a few dollars.

Find a parts store than sells battery acid and get about a gallon, make you a two small, long wooden trays that will hold the barrel and action, line the trays with a sheet of plastic so it's water tight. Pour the battery acid in one an put some water with baking soda in the other. Dip the parts in it for battery acid for several minutes and then in the water/soda. Rinse with warm water. It will take all the old blue and lot of the rust and other crap off. If you are not ready to apply your finish, you will need to spray them with oil/WD40 or something to prevent rust. They will start to rust almost immediately. Buff the parts or rub with 0000 steel wool to get the dull finish off if you plan to cold blue

For the wood, get some Tru-oil

Remington Model 74 Sportsman

.

Maybe.................... But, since the problem appears to be occuring with two different magazines, I'd be more inclined to take a hard look at wear in the magazine latching, allowing the magazine to drop or shift enough to cause a mis-feed.

FWIW - the M74 is identical in every respect, save stock material & metal polish, to the M-7400, as far as parts are concerned.

Remington 660

I spotted an ad in the local classifieds that caught my attention. Its a Remington 660 chambered 6mm rem. It has a Weaver K6 scope on it and appears to be in excellent condition just judging by the pictures. The guy wants $500 dollars for it but I'm hoping to negotiate or possibly trade another rifle for it to get a little better deal.

I know they were only made for four years and about 50,000 exist, so they're kind of rare. I know they are a carbine but I'm not sure of the exact barrel length. I'm a fan of the 6mm rem cartridge and I already own two, so the chambering caught my eye more so than the model of the rifle.

What I want to know is are these rifles accurate, dependable, and what are they typically worth?

Here's a pic:

Remington 750 scope mounting issues

My uncle brought a Remington 750 in .243 to sight in at my back yard range. Took a few rounds and figured out the scope if pointing skyward. Ran out of lower elevation and still shooting 3' high at 50 yards. Irons are dead on. Set the rifle up in my rest and put a .22 cal. range rod down the bore and leveled the rifle from there. The scope mount rail screwed to the top of the receiver had to be elevated 5/32" to make it come in level with the bore. Are these rifles just made this way or is the barrel out of whack to the receiver that much? We called Remington and they are sending a packing slip to send the rifle back to be checked out.

Is there a scope base that can be adjusted that much? At that much elevation for the rail I'd have to mill off too much of the rail to get it in line with the bore.

Next question, anybody know the twist rate for this rifle and what ammo would be a good bet for it?

Thanks

HELP - Remington 722 in 222 Rem not playing fair

Just picked up a really nice Remington model 722 in 222 Rem. It does not like the NOE 225-55 FP or the BRP 226-47. The NOE boolit printed a nice 2 foot group at 50 yards. No keyholing just all over the place. The 47 grainers were a bit better but not much.
Anyone that has one please chime in with your favorite loads in this rifle. I just replaced the scope to eliminate that possibility. I'll shoot it with J words tomorrow morning just to try to get a group.

Did you clean that barrel that may have 50 years of copper fouling in it and would destroy cast bullet accuracy?

Boolit Mold Join DateAug 2010LocationNORTHERN NMPosts2

Did you clean that barrel that may have 50 years of copper fouling in it and would destroy cast bullet accuracy?have you tried it with jacketed bullets? clean it with kroil oil and Remington bore cleaner, several times, then check for copper, if it shows copper, keep cleaning it. if it won't shoot jacketed bullets well, it'll never shoot cast bullets.

One of my all time favorite rifles. With some gun work mine shot 1/2" groups at 250 yards with Hornady bullets. Gun and loads long gone and I never tried cast. I used 3031.
I also suspect copper build up. I would use Butch's Bore Shine or Sweets in the barrel.
Check bedding, I free floated mine. I bedded the action and recoil lug. As old as the gun is I bet the wood is pushing somewhere.

Boolit Master Join DateMar 2005LocationmainePosts690

If your bore is in good shape,then id say keep the speed down around 2400f.p.s.,or less,,and that ol rifle should shoot very well.Never heard of a .222 anything,that wouldnt shoot............

The barrel was very clean when I got it. I have already scrubbed the bore with both Butches and Sweets, No green patches at all and the rifling is crisp. Same load that I use in both of my Remington 700 ADL's, in 222. I suspect the scope, I hope! I'll find out shortly.

My Rem 722 (made in the 50s) had a rifling twist of 1 in 14" and would not shoot anything longer than the 45 grain slugs with any kind of accuracy. Also the barrel was really skinny- whippy and would change the POI when I attached a sling. Free-floating and action bedding with Acra-Glas helped a lot but it still didn't like long bullets.

FIXED IT ! I found that I was getting an off center lube star. Not sure if you would call it off center, but it had a greater buildup on one side. I could not see a ding or anything, but I re-crowned it. Then shot a group of j-words at 50 yds it printed one hole. Tried 12gr of 4759 and the NOE 226-55 and the Mihec Nato boolit, both shot 5 in a dime size hole at 50 yds. I'm a happy camper again!

That makes me a happy camper. Wonderful job.

Remington rolling block pistol?

A Remington Rolling Block PISTOL.
Well, that clears things up a bit, not many of those to pick from.
There were the 1865 Navy with spur trigger.
Early ones were .50 rimfire. Scarce and valuable but not shootable.
Later were .50 centerfire shootable if you want to go to the trouble and expense.
Then the 1867 Navy with trigger guard and the 1871 Army with different butt shape.
Seems kind of silly, revolvers were well established by then.
Scarce to rare.

Target models of 1891, calibers .22, .25, and .32 rimfire and .32 S$W.
Very very rare.
Model of 1901, calibers .22, .25, and .44 S&W.
Very rare.
Caution, there are a relatively large number of sporterized Army models hard to tell from the target guns. Complicated by at least some of the factory targets being built on military actions.

Blue Book shows an 1887 Plinker not listed by Flayderman.

$1300 seems not out of line, IF original and in good condition.

Any difference in Remington 6 1/2 SR vs 7 1/2 BR primers?

I've only used the Remington 7 1/2 BR small rifle primers for reloading .204 and .223. My Cabelas store has had the Remington 6 1/2 small rifle primers in stock off and on but no 7 1/2 primers.

Is there any real difference between the two? I might try shooting the .204 out to 300 yards some day but my AR would most likely be 200 yards or so. Thanks.
