    Honduran Remington Model 1934 Caliber 7mm rifle

    Attachment 91143Attachment 91144Attachment 91145

    Remington tried in the 1930's to drum up interest in military rifles made off the WWI Pattern 1914/Model 1917 tooling that was in use for some commercial rifles.

    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.

    The 721 I think was Remington's civilian model. I had one and yes, it was a close copy without the charger bridge of the 1917. I couldn't keep the screws from shooting loose so I traded it for a 7400...in .30.

    That is a very interesting rifle, thanks for sharing it, it’s strange to see the roller coaster sights and shallow magazine on something that otherwise looks like a p14 without it’s sight ears. And is that a Mauser front sight?

    That would be Remington Model 30. Essentially a 1917 in civilian garb. Neat rifles.
    As are these Honduran rifles. A fella could build a collection based solely on Remington rifles manufactured for other countries!!

    It speaks towards the modern manufacturing emphasize on small inventories. The "Just in Time" manufacturing method. This is actually a fantastic example of the downfalls of huge inventory stocks AND how to recover from it.
    Remington was doing their darnedest to outfit our boys "over there" and then that dang ol' Armistice was signed and they were left holding the bag. The bag full of rifle parts!
    Really, this could have been a disaster for Remington -- it's not like the government was going to pay them for all the parts and work they had already completed. So Remington utilized those parts and made them into something they could sell.
    Funny to think how times have changed, though. Folks nowadays would be chomping at the bit to buy an "authentic military rifle" just like "our boys used in the Big One!" The marketing would write itself today.

    Looks like a Mauser or 1903 front and rear sight.

    Cool item to own.

    Weird to go backward with the sights but maybe that is what they were used to and wanted.

    The sights on this arm appear to be type used on the last production rolling block rifles.
