Remington 12A

[capttom]

A cousin died and he left me our grandfather's .22 Remington. It's a 12A, takedown, 22" barrel. I know they quit making them in 1936. I was wondering what year it was made. The serial number is 595XXX. Thanks for the information in advance.

Goto www.remington.com/library/history/firearm_models/rimfire/model_12.asp The 12A was the basic model and they were made from 1909 to 1936 starting at serial# 00001 and stopping at serial# 820,759.

Thank you, much appreciated! I know about proofhouse.com and some other on-line serial number references, but this is a new one. I'll tuck it away for future use.
