    Most of the Remington Berthier rifles stayed in the USAicon, those that did make to France had to be worked over/rebuilt

    Finding a Frenchicon rebuilt Remington Berthier is a collectors item

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Actually Remington had a huge problem when WWI ended. They were stuck with thousands of finished, semi-finished and forgings of M1917 parts. They shut down their Forge Shop in 1918 and opened it up in 1939/40. All of the Honduran contract were WW1 left over parts. As well as all of the M1930 sporter rifles. All WW1 left over parts. They made the 1917 Revolver until just after WWII with left over parts, as well. A huge problem.

    That would be money just sitting there, all the contract revolvers would have been stockpiled parts then.

    Yes, yes. I meant S&W M1917 revolver. Both S&W and Remington were stuck with piles of parts.

    I bought one of those barreled actions from SARCO for $25. Barrel was toast so I made a 30-06 target rifle out of it. Just had to replace follow, follower spring and use a cut down M1917 magazine box. It turned out to be a good (for the time) target rifle. There was only minor pitting where the barrel ring held the upper hand guard to the receiver. The action is a twin to my Remington 30 Express. Crossman really loved the M1903 and really railed against the Rem 30. I have built target rifles on both M1903 actions and Rem 30 actions. I believe the Rem 30 to be the better choice. More rigid action with a faster lock time.
    These rifles came out of Honduras and varied greatly in quality due to lack of care. I ordered a second one from SARCO and it was very deeply pitted and came with a M1917 bolt. I returned it. I know that SARCO stripped parts off these rifles and sold them separately because I bought a complete bolt and some spare (Rem 30) styled bolt parts as spares.
    I would really liked to have a good serviceable rifle but SARCO had none for sale
    FWIW
