Hey yall! Thought I’d join and admire some Remingtons from the comfort of my own home. Here’s my little collection of rifles… the two in the middle being a Remington M1903 made in 1942 and a Remington Model 740 made in 1955.
The others being a Springfield Armory M1 Garand made in 1943 and the trusty Ruger 10-22.
I'd like to grab an 870 that came out of Ilion NY before they shut it down. I know I could just buy an older one but I want one near the end of production if that makes sense.
I have a 721 30-06 I’m looking to restore. The leather carrying sling is missing from mine, I’m looking to replace it, any ideas where to purchase an original one?
Im looking into a remington 1100 for hunting (i have other shotguns but have always wanted one for many years). I recenelty acquired a crosman 1100 trapmaster (airgun which was made as a “shotgun teacher” for kids in the 60s/70s.)
My local shop had a Remington SPCL, which I assume is the special model. Which is a better checkering, non reflective finish with a 24 inch barrel
What are some things to look for? I know about the whole O ring use. Have had a set of o rings specifically for an 1100 since I was 18 but never bothered/could find one
Hey guys,my local gun shop has a new V3 tatical for 1,100 new.It has the low sights which I like over the bead rail.Im leary about buying it though because of replacement parts may be hard to find.Does anybody know if this model has been discontinued and if parts can be had?Any info will be very helpful.Thanks
I own a remington 870 Express Magnum, I like the gun itself, but I can't stand the ugly, useless stamped checkering on the stock and pump. Does anyone know where I can get some wood furniture with actual cut checkering?
My Remington XR5 recently broke, thought about upgrading to the XR7 (40€ vs 65€). What are your experiences with the XR7 compared to the XR5? Is it worth to pay more?
Hey everyone, I have a 1917 that I've had for a month or two now, and while I was cleaning it I looked over and saw some numbers were scratched into the bolt. Does anyone have any ideas what they might be? They're 44 29 049 101.
I recently stumbled upon a model 597 chambered in .17hmr for sale. I've heard it was recalled by Remington for issues with available ammo.
Since the availability of 17hmr rifles in my country is rather lackluster, this is one of the few options I have.
Is there ways to fix possible reliability issues or is it just a dud? Also is it worth buying?
P.S. I'm also currently enrolled in a school for gunsmithing, so if larger modifications are necessary, it's not a problem.
As the title says, I’m looking at the possibility of replacing or modifying the factory stock on my 770 short action. I would prefer a synthetic stock for this. Would a 700 stock fit on a 770? Would it need to be modified? Or, are there other options? I don’t like the comb on the factory stock since I’m predominantly left handed, and prefer my stocks to be ambidextrous. That way, if I switch hands, it stays consist with either hand. I like consistency when I switch hands with whatever firearm I use. I usually prefer a straight stock or a pistol grip stock with no bias either way. If there is a raised comb, I prefer it to be raised evenly on both sides. Thanks in advance.
I recently bought a Remington 870 Field Master from my local gun shop, and when it came in today the guy told me he got me the Super Magnum variant instead of just the normal one. Is there any difference in quality between the two versions? Want to know if I should just keep there super mag or ask him for just the normal variant. Attached is what I ordered vs what I got.
I was told it was 100% factory. It’s a 300 win mag. Does not say “Sendero” by the caliber. Only has 1 sling stud in the front (which would eliminate the “long range”. I think it’s pre Remarm.

I cannot for the life of me figure out Remingtons date code system, and I’ve got 5 different conclusions that all basically imply I need to already know what year it was made to determine its proper age.
Either way, can someone tell me how old this rifle is?
Thanks
One stamped and the other written on it with an engraver. Not sure what to think about this. Anyone seen anything like this before?
I want to change the stock on my model 770. It’s a youth but I should be able to just change stocks as long as I get a short action right?
As you can see in the picture, I put enough oil in there that it makes the Pacific Ocean look small. I just need help, bro.
I know a lot of people don’t like them and they get some flack here on Reddit but it seems you can’t ever find them anymore for sale. If they are soooo bad wouldn’t we see people trying to dump them? Like it’s been months or years since I’ve come across 1. Just wondering. And is Ruger planning to produce them again?
