Anyone know much about these rifles? I just acquired one through my fiance', who got it from her late grandfather. Seems to be in decent shape internally, though in need of cleaning. Outside of metal has some rust and minor pitting, but bore looks ok. Oddly, I can't find a s/n, unless this is older than we realized -- see below:
All markings on barrel.
Top, forward:
Top, just in front of rear sight:
Top, behind rear sight:
On right rear, but read from top (i.e, upside down if you look directly at right side of rifle):
No other markings except "REMINGTON" on stamped plastic buttcap.
Any idea of age or value of this example? (I suppose the plastic buttcap would be a clue -- probably post-war, then, right?) The Remington site says they were made from 1939-1962, but even if I could find the s/n they're not listed by year anyway.
Thanks!
