WANTED WTB REMINGTON 37 1450-1930 serial number range.

[22LRaddict]

I missed one here a couple of months back that was what I needed and I believe to be in the serial number range of 1450-1930(my best guess). Not sure HOW I MISSED IT. I am looking for a specific range in serial numbers to fill a hole in my collection. It will have a pre-Randle stock and no Sweeny trigger.

Please PM me with what you have. It must not be altered.

Thanks in advance.

Please PM me with what you have. It must not be altered.

The Sweany "miracle trigger" was patented on 12/30/39. I have a 700's rifle that has it. If you ever fired the pre-miracle trigger and the miracle trigger you know why so many early rifles were sent back to Remington for a retrofit. I have no info on when it became standard fare, but sometime on or after 1940 I would think.

A lot were swapped out, yes. If it was indeed sent back to the factory, it would have 2 date codes on the barrel. If not, it wasn't done by Remington. I own, 12, 64, 517, 755 that are all original without the modification. my 2152 as the Sweeny trigger, as do all my "later" ones. I am after the last of the pre-Randle stocks. Again my best guess is 1450-to not quite 2000. There was one posted here a couple of months ago that I missed, still kicking myself. The OP doesn't remember who he sold it to. I would love to have it and would pay him a profit to cut it loose.

Good luck finding it. They are a wonderful target rifle. Every bit as good or better than the 52's until the C model with the new trigger came on the scene. I really like the cut out receiver of the 37 that makes loading with the left hand easy compared to the 52.

Eventually it will happen, thanks!
