I'd love to rescue one for about $80 someday so I can build a 17HM2 on it!'Rescued' Remington 581 View attachment 1517416with Bushnell 3-9x Rimfire scope.
I paid $239 a little over 2 years ago for it. It was advertised as having a 'frozen trigger, cracked buttplate, missing rear sight and magazine'. A long soak in acetone and liberal applications of WD-40 freed up the trigger. The lithium grease Remington packed in the trigger had solidified over the years. I sourced a magazine from Trekker Industries ($50), and a repro buttplate from Numrich Arms ($12). The scope ($48) NIB, was from ebay.I'd love to rescue one for about $80 someday so I can build a 17HM2 on it!
I currently have 8 Model of 1922's. 5 are in original condition, one was arsenally upgraded to M2 configuration and one is configured as a M1903A1 in a "C" stock. My earliest is SN 36, (1922) my highest is SN 2010, which is 1 of 12 international match rifles made for the 1924 Olympics in Paris.A TRUE COLLECTORS ADDICTION!!!
