Low Estimate4000
serial #5668, 44 2 6/10, 34'' barrel with a bright very fine to near excellent bore showing some areas of old mild oxidation nearer the muzzle and otherwise crisp rifling throughout. This is a very rare rifle that was only produced for a couple of years and described on pages 182-200 of ''Remington Hepburn'' by Rowe. This example has seen honest use, the barrel mostly flaked and toning to plum-brown patina showing some overall old light pitting and oxidation staining with some generous streaks of original blue throughout. The barrel retains strong E. Remington & Sons address and there is a vacant screw hole 1 1/2'' ahead of the rear sight assembly. The action is a mostly a pale gray patina showing some areas of darker brown oxidation and cleaned light pitting, a few flashes of silvery case-hardened patina lurking about. The smooth steel buttplate shows moderate partially smoothed-over old pitting and the rear barrel band is an older replacement from a different rifle. The smooth walnut buttstock and full-length forend remain in very good condition having darkened from the years showing areas of oxidation leaching, a few old abrasions and minor drying cracks. The inside back edge of the forend shows an old repair that has partially obscured the serial number but it is indeed matching the action along with the buttstock and barrel. Equipped with sling swivels and military-style cleaning rod, the hammer is not rebounding instead having a half-cock and the action seems to function well mechanically. The rifle is set up in the ''Military Breech Loader'' match configuration with the special factory combination rear sight (the spirit level lost to the years) and simple plain blade front sight. Other examples are known with half stock rifle match Vernier sights, or a combination of all the sights. These rifles were adopted by the NRA and recommended by the association to members of the American team participating in Creedmoor matches. The rifles were apparently made in two production runs circa 1885 and 1886 in the 3000 and 5000 serial number ranges and it is believed only a handful were made to order, total production estimated in the low double digits. This rifle is listed by serial number as one of nineteen rifles surveyed in Rowe's book on page 200. While rather well-worn, this rare rifle will make a nice addition to any advanced Remington or single shot collection. (13B10945-1) {ANTIQUE} (4000/6000)
