Gun Owning Smokers

I cant find a serial number on the gun just the date code ( UU - 1949 ), it has a mark in front and behind the UU what may be the top part of a A and at the end the lower half of a O. other than that just patent numbers.
I will have to remove the side mount scope to see if its stamped under that.

The gun is in good condition with just normal wear on it.

I'm not as familiar with that model as I'd like to be but I do have one single shot .22 that has no serial number on it. It's possible your Remi didn't get stamped with one. Knowing Remington though, I'd suspect it has been, I can't recall them ever not stamping an SN on any of their firearms. That .22 of mine is some obscure make/model I picked up at a gun auction for $15 so I'm not overly surprised it didn't.

Oh, speaking of Reminton's. My good friend and hunting partner has a Remington 700 in .270 It came from the factory with that stupid trap door magazine that has been put on so many hunting rifles (whoever thought that was a good idea........geezzzzz). He bought a Kwik Klip for it which is an assembly that converts it from trap door to removable magazine! I hadn't seen that before but what a nice deal.

A removable magazine is so much quicker/easier when you're out hunting. Now he'll be taking that gun along on our next trip..........LOL.

Thanks to the gun buying frenzy going on I'm not able to complete my AR at this time.

I picked the wrong gun to build

Yeah, that was a sad day and the resultant furor over getting rid of the evil assault style weapons is sure to be real loud this time. I expect it will bleed over to Canada where the anti's will use it as an excuse to get rid of ours up here too.

Maybe you can backorder the parts you need. It might take a while but you're sure to get them. How long, or if, you'll be able to keep that rifle remains to be seen.

I may backorder the upper next month if i cant find one locally.
I prefer to get it locally and no paperwork trail like most of my guns.

They can pass all the laws they want and ban guns but ill be keeping mine.

As my son would say, "Sweeeeeeet"! LOL

My brother is a cop and a member of the tactical squad. He's also done the sniper training and recently sent me a picture of his sniper rifle all finished and ready for action. Now, I shot this rifle 2 years ago when it still had the wood stock and the Leupold scope. Now it has a Nightforce scope (not sure which one but it's worth $2,000.00 CAD) and a new stock. Also, it has had a removable magazine added. Here's the picture he sent me.



So yeah, I'm drooling!

On the plus side, the tactical guys got rid of their Leupold's in favor of these Nightforce scopes so I'm hoping to get a $1,600.00 Leupold with adjustable turrets (elevation/windage) for cheap cheap! I'm still waiting to hear from him but if I can get it even for half price, I'll be VERY happy. There's a chance I may get it for significantly less than that.

I noticed that! What a difference a day makes!!!

Reminds me of "back in the day" when FFL's were a dime a dozen. A buddy of mine offered to sell me a Chinese made AK for $250. I really did not see the value in it - I had a Mini-14 and it was just fine. What a mistake that was! After the assault gun ban I saw the same Chinese AK hanging in a gun store with a $2,500 price tag on it...
