The British government armory at Enfield Lock, Middlesex, was founded in 1804.
Answer Do you have the correct model #?. I am not aware of any Remington.22 rifle with a 672 designation. Unless there is a very late model from Remington with that model number, I believe you are referring to their model 572 rifle.
The M/572 was a PUMP repeater that was initially produced in t he 1950's, in various grades and is, or was until the last year or two, still being manufactured. Serial numbers were not required on.22 rifles up until December of 1968, when the infamous 'Gun Control Act of 1968' was passed. If you do indeed actually have a model 572 PUMP rifle, and you can not find the serial number, you most likely have a unit manufactured prior to 12/68, since all M/572 rifles with serial numbers have them very plainly stamped on the side of the receiver. The serial number should be easy to find if it's not and it's a rimfire prior to 1968 it very well may not have one.
Pre-serial# Remington rifles had a date code (which will only tell you date of manufacture) It is two tiny letters on the rear left side of the barrel. (Mine happens to be k G which equals may, 1960) I found the Remington date code chart online, but I don't have it on this computer or I would send it to you. (Just Google Remington date code) Hope that is what you were looking for. Terry The chart can be found on the Remington Society of America and only rifles made since 1921 have barrel codes.
All, Thank you for this fun thread! Here is a picture of my Eddystone M1917 Rifles, along with my Model 1903 Colt New Army Revolver. Why the revolver? Netscantools pro crack. Some of you may know that I'm into Thompsons.
What do Thompsons have to do with turn of the century revolvers and M1917 Rifles, you might ask? Well, they are all tied together through history by John T. Download nitro pro 10 full crack 64-bit.
Thompson, namesake of the Thompson Submachine Gun. From 1901-1903, Captain John T.
Thompson was the Inspector of Pistols for the United States Army. My Model 1903 Colt New Army Revolver bears his inspector initials of 'JTT' at the top of the frame, just above and behind the cylinder on the left side. In 1914, Colonel Thompson retired from the military to work for Remington Arms Co., and was given the responsibility to design and build the largest small arms production facility in the world at the time.
This project became the Eddystone Plant in Pennsylvania, where P14's were made for the British, along with Mosin-Nagants for the Russians, and subsequently, U.S. M1917 Rifles were produced there. Thompson also previously supervised the development of the M1903 Rifle. When the U.S. Became involved in WWI, Thompson went back to the Army, and was promoted to Brigadier General.
He became the Director of Arsenals, and was in charge of all small arms manufacturing, including U.S. M1917 Rifles. The top M1917 in the picture is quite a nice example, and has the appropriate M1917 Kerr sling. In the lower left corner, you can see two original flyers (displayed front and back) that accompanied M1917 slings, showing how to install them on the M1917 Rifle. The Kerr Adjustable Sling is the appropriate sling for this rifle, although certainly M1907 slings were also used. You may notice that the second rifle, also an Eddystone, is shorter than the one above it.
