Yes my dear friend Jim Tipton always said that "High Grade Remingtons swim in Schools"! Lol
Unfortunately for me when I decided to part with one it was the first of three that weekend and at least 2 since then!

Re: Engraved Rem 12C
Thanks ChuckD for the further insight. If that is the case than that is the Remington Model Code. In Shotguns the: Model 1894 - P Model 1900 - Q Model 10 - U Model 11 - V Model 17 - BO I believe I have heard of a letter designation for the Model 14 Rifles but it escapes me at the moment. Hope this h...

Re: Engraved Rem 12C
Hey Duke, Sorry to post late, but I was hoping some of the Rifle guys might catch your post, I'm out of my element there. However, in shotgun engraving by 1924 engravers were still not initialing their work. I have not heard of a RW Remington engraver of that era, which means absolutely nothing as t...

Re: Matching barrels on Pre-11 Auto Trap Grade?
Researcher is correct.
I have 4-digit serial numbered receiver that was a replacement by the factory and has the "Remington" and circle "UMC" on the tangs.

Re: Pre-Model 11 Remington?
Hey Strider thanks for posting, This helps clear up some confusion as to when the serialization of the Remington Autoloading Gun started. The factory records were never found or clear and there has been speculation in the past. This is the first two-digit gun that I am aware of even though I expecte...

Re: Remington Advertising 1920-1940
Aremingtonsedge,
If I am not mistaken the LBH Bears appear in or around 1913 and only last a few years, no later than 1919 if I'm not off my rocker.
Dave may correct me.
Thanks for the great pieces!

Re: Joe Loy
Thanks a million Gene!
Information has been very scarce on the timing and individuals involved with the early 1900's Remington firearms engraving, which I believe to be it's best period.
Sorry, I haven't checked traps here on the site in a while.

Re: Wanted: Model 11 or pre-11 Trap
Mike, There is a Tournament Grade 11D in Ward's Sporting Auction right now, says Pre but I do not consider those that have the UMC Circle Roll Stamp on the bottom tang Remington Autoloading Shotguns. Let me know if that doesn't suit you. Are you looking for a "Shooter"? wkgurt(at)charter(d...

The Road to Yesterday, Dick Baldwin Copyright 2005 p. 192 1911 Pop Hiekes F Grade.jpg Side bar note says this is from the 1910 GAH but, with the Circle UMC buttplate, I'm not convinced it is not from later probably 1911 or 1912 like Drew said he participated with the Remington Autoloader. If I had ...
