Thread: Getting rid of Rifle Serial numbers.

Picky, picky, picky.. The main thing is they were made in the good ole US of A. None of that foreign garbage.

I suspect they changed jigs as well, since the Remington handles were just silver soldered on. But if you know what to look for, nearly every 'RR' Remington (I've handled over a dozen, none had any P.E) will miss the primary extraction cams between the bolt and receiver.

Guess I got lucky, mine does - not much mind, but it does.

I thought if you carjam'd an old plate it will still come up?

u put any firearm photo up on facebook that has a serial number on it and FB indexes the serial no for searches. I'm guessing its quite possible someone is doing the same on trademe and other auction sites to coalate a firearms register!
