I just purchased an upgraded 12 gauge Sportsman 48 TC and it's a very cool old gun.
I'd like to know more about this model as I can't find much info on the TC designation being made in that model. Lots of info on 870 TC's and Model 31 TC's, but nothing on the Sportsman 48 TC.
I called Remington and they said that it was manufactured in 1949 based on the serial number (3006XXX), but that's all they had on it. It has highly figured wood, cut checkering, a 30" Full choke barrel with twin beads and a vent rib. The only markings on the receiver are the serial # on the left side and underneath it has:
Remington
The Sportsman 48 TC
It was sent to Gun Works in NY and reblued nicely there and sold to the gentleman I purchased it from. Nice gun and can't wait to shoot it.
I have tried to upload two pics, so hopefully they come through. Thanks for your interest and help! I enjoy this forum and have learned alot!
