How did I do?

Went to an old gunshop in Oregon this weekend and found a 261xxx serial number Remington HB in .243. Has Tombstone safety, BDL Stock and gloss black bottom metal. Looks like it’s stamped ‘64 but I think I’m dating it to ‘67? No recoil pad but they were full up on 16601 aluminum butt plates. I bought one then they gave me 4. I have the Badger M40 base and rings so I’m getting there. Who wants to build it for me?

I read it as “L-P” barrel date code. February 1967.

Nice!!!

Pressed checkering was never my thing, but the action of that gun is made like a fine watch!

Good era at Remington !!!

Not mine either. It’s going to get a repro M40 stock as soon as I locate a good one. Was thinking beaver 156 but his are not very frequent and you have to be fast to get one!

I messaged him and asked for a heads up when he listed one. He was kind enough to message me when he listed the next one. YMMV

I reached out to Mark Williams at Raven Rifles two weeks ago to see if he could build my M40 and said he didn’t renew his FFL

I guess that leaves LRI or GAP? Maybe TacOps?

I did the same but when he listed it was for 2 together not one.

GAP has a legit 2112. While LRI is awesome, on a clone like this having a legit 2112 would make it next level.

That’s true. George is the shit! I’m going to play with the 243 barrel for a bit. It is the right contour with the flat face crown so it will look the part except for finish but first I need to put some rounds down range to make sure it’s not shot out. It is 57 years old. Same as me and some days I feel shot out!

I put the mount and rings on then put a Burris in them that is one of my test scopes. Always holds zero and that krylon been on there a couple of years now.
