*FINE CUSTOM REMINGTON HEPBURN TARGET RIFLE.

Revised: 3/3/2008

(Correction )Please Note: Description should also include the following, “R.P.&S.” stands for Robert Paris & Son of Gettysburg, Pa. who incidentally were the inventors of the “Swamped Kentucky Rifle Barrel” design used by all modern cut rifling makers today. A. Raymond Goode was a barrel maker also who resided in Thurmont, Md. and during WWII got his training in the Naval Shipyards manufacturing barrels for our U.S. fleets. Goode chambered the barrel that Paris made. It is made of 4140 Chromemoly steel and shoots extremely well. Special Note: The consignor states that he is in possession of the original bbl that came with lot 1045. He states that the original 28” faux octagon bbl was turned down by the original owner which he assumes was to cut down on its weight. Consignor states that if the buyer of lot 1045 wishes, he will provide them with the original bbl (of course in its altered state), just let us know and we will provide you with it.

With Globe target front sight and marked under forend on bottom of bbl, “R.P. & S. .315 .323 1-16”, and on very bottom flat under forend marked, “A.R. Goode” with a Mason sign. The Hepburn receiver is equipped with double set triggers and a Vernier tang sight with a 3-1/2″ shaft. Mounted with semi-fancy walnut with checkered forend and steel forend cap, and checkered round knob pistol grip with short prong Swiss butt-plate. The top tang channel of stock is stamped, “C. Giddings.” Back of butt-plate is stamped with matching SN to receiver. CONDITION: Very good. Bbl is mostly a gray/silver color mixed with areas of fine brown patina. It has very sharp edges. Receiver has traces of orig case color in protected areas but overall appearance is a silver hardening color mixed with some wear that is blended to a brown patina. Stocks are solid with a fine old hand rubbed oil finish with checkering filled and somewhat flat on right side of pistol grip, and filled and not quite as flat on left side. Forend has a few minor nicks and dings with a very minor chip out next to receiver with very flat worn checkering, and retains a hand rubbed oil finish. Butt-plate retains 70-80% nickel showing brass just on sharp edges and at the tips of the hooks. Mechanics are good, double set triggers work, and bore is shiny. 4-32207 BDT251 (3,000-5,000)
