SN calculations reflect the reality “gaps” as well as “duplicates” within the serial numbering process. The factory shop-assembly process resulted in final rifle production in no particular SN order or sequence, therefore rifles with higher SNs than the number of rifles produced may exist for any given month. Also, it is noted that final rifle assembly followed receiver serialization by an approximate average of 2 weeks. All “end-of-month” SNs are calculated approximations only. Serial numbering began with SN 3,000,000 and numerically remained continuous to end of production except as shown below. This report reconciles in finality all rifle inspection approval issues that may have remained after close of each monthly billing period. In absence of actual factory production records predating “final inspection” via note #1 above, the “factory invoice” record becomes the next most reliable statistical basis for approximating “end-of-month” SNs.įinal approved rifle production based on Ordnance Dept., Small Arms Branch, Industrial Division record summary dated March 10, 1944. inspection report data used for monthly invoicing for services rendered under contract. Remington’s rifle production based on Ordnance Dept. inspection, they represent the earliest and most accurate base-data for approximate calculation of actual “end-of-month” production Serial Numbers (SNs) from the start of production through February, 1943. Since these were final assembled and tested rifles made ready for Ordnance Dept. No such comparable statistics are known to exist beyond February 1943. 22 rimfire rifle was made in 1915 or 2015 standard velocity will give you a better chance of doing that.(Based in part on documents obtained by Clark Campbell from the Ilion, NY Remington Plant Manager files, circa 1955)Īctual assembled rifles in the Remington warehouse inventory awaiting Ordnance inspection as shown on the Planning Supervisor’s “Accounting Summary” dated March 9, 1943. Silly me, I always thought the point of shooting was to hit your target, and whether your. Using standard velocity ammunition in your Model 12. So think about it, you get far less barrel wear, and far better accuracy by What was even more impressive were the amount of flyers (shots well out of the normal grouping, one box of Super-X had four rounds out of a box of 50 that were almost out of the scoring area on the target or about 1.5" from Small bore 50' target (imagine what they would be like at 50 yards). Less than 40% made the 10-Ring ring on a conventional Horrific when compared to standard/match velocity ammunition and Then came the tests with the high velocity stuff, the accuracy was Standard velocity and match grade ammunition performed as you might expect blowing the ten ring out of the targets.some of course were better than others like Eley Red box or Western Super Match. My Anschutz 1413 Super Match 54 rifle made in 1970. Some years back a gun writer friend of mine wanted to do some group My background was smallbore rifle position competition shooting, no high velocity stuff there unless you were a total dummy wanting to prove how badly you could lose. If you are truly ignorant and wish to ignore that advice let us talk accuracy, high velocity sucks when it comes to overall accuracy. Using high velocity in any older rimfire rifles simply lacks judgement! The metal used on the barrels of these old rifles was the best available at the time but not anything compared to what we have today or as John observed, not the quality of the later versions, those being the Model 121 & 141. My favorite comparison is make note that when the Model 12 and 14 were introduced the Titanic was still afloat. Have to think in terms of 1912 technology. Model 14/141 and for years I have been telling owners of these that you When it comes to Remington rifles most of my expertise involves the I fight with myself when it comes to making comments to a post I didn't initiate but John made a statement "I'll give me usual warning about notįiring high velocity ammunition in a Model 12" that I wish to comment on.
