    I see you are in Southland which is not too far from me. Give me a PM and you can come and visit and I can give you some pointers.

    Yes, it is worth a maximum of about $200-250 in its present condition. There are a few things counting against it; spurious manufacture, ostensibly Belgian but the proof mark is not correct (should...

    chainsaw liked post by gundoc On thread : Remington accuracy
    I have seen quite a few Remingtons in recent years with the chamber misaligned with the bore. The problem is quite obvious visually when the bolt is removed and the front of the chamber examined in...
