Picked up my new (1973) rifle today.

HaMeR · January 18, 2011, 12:59:07 PM

The gun shop called & told me my Remington 592 5MM has arrived from a very nice fella over in Delaware. I raced out to claim my prize. I got to see pics of this rifle but as good as they were I was still pleasantly surprised at the lack of wear & character marks on her. Pristine she is. I'm very happy. I tried to get pics of the marks but they wouldn't photograph very well. Altho you can see them right behind the trigger guard & on either side of the trigger guard. I'll have to get Diane to take the pics.

Thank You Mr. Trost!!!!!

Good for you HaMaR! I cant see the pic's here at work (Blocked) but I know it's sweet!

I'll check it out when I get home!

Oh, Glen, I can really see the scrapes and scratches on the muzzle and they look really bad. If I were you, I wouldn't keep that gun, and since I don't have one in MY collection, I would be willing to store it here. Just to help you out.

You'll like it Doug. I'm gonna drop a ratty old Leupold 3-9 on top of her this evening.

Jerry-- I just noticed those muzzle marks too!!

Darned camera angles anyhow. I knew I should have ~~made~~ let Diane take the pics.

HaMeR · January 18, 2011, 05:24:15 PM

Final assembly.

WldWldWest · January 18, 2011, 05:28:19 PM

SWEET!

But I think it would have been worthy of some real glass

HuntnCarve · January 18, 2011, 06:35:38 PM

Did you pick up any ammo for it Glen? Looks like a real beauty! If you want, send it out here and I'll carve Diane's name on it. Maybe even a groundhog to commemorate her first one she'll dispatch with it.

I'm jealous of you, but happy you got one.

5mm Mag ammo is being manufactured once again?

Hawks Feather · January 18, 2011, 07:08:28 PM

Glen,

I may have to lower my offering price. I just saw where the front sight is all beat up in that last picture. You may need to pay part of the shipping rather than me paying it all.

Jerry

Wow, nice gun Glen. I've never seen a 5mm mag before.

Doug-- My thoughts exactly!! It'll work for now tho.

Dave-- Thanks. I'm gonna go look for a couple boxes this weekend. Hopefully Diane will get to shoot it. You're carving idea is too powerful to resist!!

If I would have it cut into you would be the one!!

FOs-- Yepper!! Centurion is making it. They have 2 different rounds out for it.

Jerry-- I'll split the shipping with you alright.

The front site is boogered up but I'm using that crappy ol handmedown Leupold for now. I may have to file a blade out there.

Jason-- Good to see you back again so soon!!

They are a 22WMR on roids. Haven't been made since the 70's. NINETEEN 70's that is.

I read somewhere that only 50,000 were made.

Barry-- Thanks. She's a relic for sure. Im gonna have to think long & hard for a name for her.

Todd Rahm · January 19, 2011, 01:35:17 AM

I havent shot the 591 I have yet, but I'm already on the look out for 592.

Nice grab Glenn.

I talked the wife into a 40 gun safe this week, I need to do my darndest to fill it when she aint look'n.

HaMeR · January 19, 2011, 06:54:32 AM

Looking to complete the Bro/Sis collection huh Todd??

Those big safes are nice. I just have a 24 gun safe & I think this one puts me just shy of 1/2 way there.

Todd Rahm · January 19, 2011, 07:06:01 AM

Heck Glenn, I don't even think I have 6 smoke poles.

Just liked the safe, thats all.

Hawks Feather · January 19, 2011, 08:03:34 AM

Glen,

It is probably time for me to "play nice" so . . . . . it does look like you got your hands on a nice gun that is in very good condition. One of the things that I like is the looks of the stock. That was back "in the day" when they used decent wood for their stocks. Good addition to your shooting collection.

vvarmitr · January 19, 2011, 09:14:13 AM

That's is great!!!!!

slagmaker · January 19, 2011, 09:54:53 AM

SA-WEEEET!

I was in a local Firearms establishment just the other day and saw where he had some 5mm ammmo on the shelf. t was the Centurion stuff so I dont think he had it sitting around from the 70's

HaMeR · January 19, 2011, 10:08:56 AM

slag-- Do you remember the price on it??

I think you would like it VV!! She's real niiiice.

Jerry-- It is a nice rifle. When one of the previuos owners removed the front blade he could have done it a little cleaner. I'm already thinking about finding original sights for it & re-installing them. If you're ever down this way holler!! We'll make a video of you shooting a groundhog or two.

Todd-- I hear ya!!! Those big safes are really nice!! The other thing about a safe that big is you have a secure area for your important papers & such. Plus that coin collection. That way nobody can steal your lunch money!!

Todd Rahm · January 19, 2011, 10:29:06 AM

Hey, your on to something Glenn. I can store my call collection in there! Well part of it anyway.
