Remington even older than me

Post by bandit1250 » Sat Nov 03, 2018 5:03 pm

I have a few more older Remington's from the rear of the safe. They just don't get to see the light of day often and I wish I had time for them get some rounds down the barrel. Two are factory P models(peep) and were made 10 years apart. The front one is a Model 341P and the rear is a 512P. The 341P is a rifle built in October,1936 and the 512P was built in Sept. 1946. The 341 has the very unique lifter for loading the rounds in to the chamber. It also has a military style wing safety on the rear of the bolt that actually blocks the view through the peep when the safety is in the on position. The 341P I bought at a show and I really tried to talk the gentleman out of selling it to me because it was bought new by I think his Grandfather and been in the family from that day. He wanted I think $250 or in that range some where and I kept telling him the rifle was worth more because of who owned it. He finally decided to keep it. Then while I was looking at other items he had he said "No I want to sell it and if you don't buy it some one else might". He then turned around and lowered the price from what he was asking. I gave him the money and also told him he may be sorry later. The rifle is original except for the swivels.
The 512P is completely original and came with the Remington aperture sights. I bought this from a private party in Pa. This thing will drive tacks once you get the hard to adjust sight dialed in. I put both of these up for sale once and they didn't sell so I just kept them. This 512P still retains at least 95% of its case colors on the bolt. Here is a few pics of the rifles.

Two more Remingtons. The front is an all original 511 Rem. that has the book and the hang tag with it. It is also a grooved receiver model made in 1959. This 511 may be the nicest I have ever seen especially for its age. Has a Weaver 7/8" tube 6X scope on it. Looks good on it and works fine. The rear is a 341 P that had no rear sight and needed a stock refinish and a good cleaning. It is side drilled for the Weaver side mount. I did a quick refinish of the stock and cleaned up the metal with bronze wool and Rem-oil and it actually surprised folks who seen the before and after. It is a great little shooter and is also a 1936 built gun. I paid $80 for it at an auction and the bolt alone would bring a $100 or more. I really like it and plan on keeping it around.

That's the nicest collection of old Remington 22 bolt guns Ive ever seen. Been looking for some of those, myself, but they are truly rare in this area, other than the budget 514. See plenty of those, but that's it. Went to a gun show, yesterday. Same old story. A couple of 514s, nothing else.

Bandit, that safe of yours must have enough room left in it for a vintage car or two. :lol: Nice guns. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Sweet. I like the old Remingtons. I have a 121 in the safe, and recently looked over a 510...neither as nice as yours.

The Remington Model 12 and 121 are sweet. Can get mighty pricey for pristine condition ones. Got to love those old steel receiver pump 22's.

Mine is far from pristine. It was my dad's gun, and spent many years in the corner of a damp basement. It still shoots straight, but needs either a new firing pin, or some welding/machining on the current one. The action is a joy to use, and probably the slickest pump I have ever handled.

She could use some attention, though...

I have my grandfathers Remington model 11 probably from the 20’s or 30’s.
