Serial numbers were then jumped to 700,000 and continued.Īll this history out of the way, the old Remington factory ledger begun when they resumed civilian production after The Great War, begins with serial number 199611 on September 30, 1919. Combined 12-gauge "Model 11" and "The Sportsman" serial numbers reached 499,999 on August 1, 1943. From then on the "Model 11" and "The Sportsman" were serial numbered together, continuing the Model 11 sequences. 14, 1938, they ended the separate serial numbers for the 20-gauge "The Sportsman" at 16,753. 24, 1937, they stopped the separate serial number sequence in the 5xx,xxx range for the 12-gauges and finally on Feb. 28, 1937, they stopped the separate serial number sequence in the 2xx,xxx range for the 16-gauge "The Sportsman" on Aug. A replacement will probably need fitting, frequently requiring polishing and/or carefully reducing depth.On Sep. The most frequent fault with feeding the cartridge is a worn cartridge retainer. Make sure it pivots freely against the carrier dog spring pressure. If you haven't already done so, clean and lube the carrier dog. Be sure to evaluate the relationship between this recess, the spur at the rear of the FP and its relation to the ejection cycle. With the bolt removed manually manipulate the FP, observe its action. The beveled recess at the outside of the FP contributes to ejection. As a guideline, compare the length of that projection to the original if installing a replacement. Consequently the FP may not retract preventing the cartridge from being lifted fully into position for chambering. If too long it will restrict the stroke of the action and binding will result. The projection needs to be the correct length to encounter the ejector spring. These are fiddly to replace and most aftermarket FP's need to be dressed for burrs, thickness, overall length and particular attention to the projection at the rear. There will be an internal return spring and "guide" pin, the "pin" goes towards the front. Remove it, then with a stone or fine grit sand paper on a block gently remove any burring. Put another four "parts" rifles together since, once understood they're pretty easy to work on.įailure to fire most likely relates to a sticky/broken/worn firing pin. ![]() Broke a firing pin, otherwise it's been faultless for 10's of thousands of (SV) rounds. Picked up my first M.12 40 or so years ago. If it is missing, then I would research the date of manufacture (serial number) using the sticky in this section, to ensure the correct type is ordered. One of it's functions is to help guide the nose of the round into the chamber and its absence would likely result in the problem that you are having. This component fits into a slot in the barrel just below the chamber/bore. It became fairly obvious to me at that time that this component could very easily get lost during strip and clean operations. I think that, depending on age, it will be one of these two designs. I bought a model 121 some years ago and it did'nt have the retainer, being in the UK where such spares are hard to get and shipping from the US difficult, I had to make one! while you had it stripped for cleaning did you notice whether the cartridge retainer was still present?
