So on a whim, I decide to go the the Conroe, Tx. gunshow today; I like this gunshow, it is not huge, but it is only 5 bucks to get in, and parking is ample and free. Plus a lot of dealers there, you don't normally see in the Houston area shows, so you don't see the same old crap.
I go to the last table in the joint, and start talking with this lady; her husband is not there right now. I find out she is sick , and going in for surgery, so I figure the husband is selling off some rifles. This guy is an obvious rifle collector/hunter/ and lover, and has some very good centerfire rifles on his table.
So I am looking them over, and what do I see, right on the front edge of the table? a Remmy 592, tube feed 5mag. But , my friends, this is no ordinary rifle; It is new in the box. NEW IN THE BOX, AND LIKE REAAAAALLLY SUPER NEW, like new like no other rifle is new in the box you have ever really seen. This rifle, has a black walnut stock, perfect shine, perfect finish, and not one blemish in it, the box, still has all the plastic in it; the trigger guard has a hang tag on it, my babies!!!! Are you kidding me? The bolt assy., I could tell you this, but you just aren't going to believe me---- not only has
the bolt never been in the cocked position, but the guy has never put it into the receiver of the rifle!!!!
DID YOU GET THAT? There are no bolt marks inside the receiver!! He also tells me, he has never grabbed the bbl, nor put both hands on it or around it!!!! The metal finish looks absolutely wet. I am stunned, I tell him over and over, you don't know how bad I want this rifle, but I myself am needing money right now.
He says would you shoot it, I tell him I will sell all my other rimfire stuff, sell off the ammo, including bricks upon bricks of mach 2 ammo and Aguila ammo, and all my 1000's of rounds of 22 ammo, and buy this rifle, and shoot it continuously. That it would be my all around , inside 200 yds, go to rifle, and it would be quieter than any centerfire ever could be...
Folks, what I am trying to say is this; that if there is such a thing as better than 100% on a rifle, this is it. It gets handled less than new rifles in stores, it has never been cocked, the hang tag is still on it..... Oh yeah, one more thing;
are you ready?
He has never opened up the feed tube, all the way , or even to the opening, to ever even put any ammo in the feed tube. I almost cried when he said this
to me. There are no scratches on the inside of the feedtube, nor on the brass of the feedtube pusher. How frickin' awesome is that?
There is one prob though, He and his wife have no computer, and he doesn't even know how to turn one on; truly from the Fred Flinstone era, though he is not that old. So asking for pics is out.
But only to say this; if you trust me, and you know I have been on this and other sites for a long time, and you know how much I love rifles, you can absolutely trust me when I say, This will be not only 100% and pristine, but it will be the finest example of a 5mag you will ever see in your life, and it is absolutely beautiful, and you would never regret buying it, and just may be the finest looking rifle you have ever seen, old school wood style, ever.
I told him I would pass the info on to a couple of sites, as it seems they are needing the money themselves right now; but I assured them, that if no one buys it, I will sell off my other rimfire stuff, and buy it myself, if no one else gets it.
I think he is asking 650 or 700, I can't exactly remember the price: I was too blown away by looking at this work of art. Also last thing; mfgr date is 1971!!!
How sick is that? My all time favorite part of this rifle, is the emblem, on the bottom of the grip; it is deep red, all swirly looking, and looks just painted on, as in a few minutes ago!!! It is so beautiful, ' snif ' a tear...
I hope I have conveyed well enough, just how fine this rifle is, and I hope I have not forgotten anything, if I have, call the owner, I am sure he can tell you more.
