![]() By that time there was a small crowd of people watching me shoot and they got really pissed off when the owner ran me off. When I started to pay again they cut me off and told me to leave. ![]() The next 3 times I paid to shoot I knocked out 6 out of 6 all 3 times and won 3 bears for my girlfriend. The sights were off of course about a couple of inches to the right and about 2 inches high but I still managed to knock out 4 out of the 6 balls out the first time. The first time I shot I had to get used to the sights and where to hit the balls and you had to hit the balls directly at the bottom or they wouldn't move. If you did hit 5 out of 6 then the next time you shot you had to hit 6 out of 6 balls to win a prize. You could win a teddy bear if you knocked 5 out of the 6 steel balls out of a rotating circle that was about 4 ft in diameter. My girlfriend and I were walking along and saw the gallery and I decided to give it a try. They still had a shooting gallery at the boardwalk, actually concrete walk, on the beach back then. My best memory of the shooting galleries was in Daytona Beach back in July of 1967. I have fond memories of shooting pump rifles like they had at the shooting galleries at the fair back when I was a kid. 22 rounds out of my old single shot back in the 50s and 60s but I never had a pump. Thanks to all for your input, I hope to find out more about this gun, it's a great shooter and I like it a lot.I purchased a Model 12 a while back and I've always liked these old guns but had never owned one. Apparently these screws sometimes worked loose and fell out, so Remington later fixed the problem by adding the side retaining screws. I have been told that this is sometimes seen on very early 12C rifles. The forend wood retaining screws do not have locking side screws. The barrel is a tad shorter than most at 23 3/4". The bore is clean and bright with sharp distinct rifling. The bluing is about 80% overall, the action is crisp and positive and it's accurate as hell. This gun is in particularly fine condition for such an old 22. The five digit serial number is further evidence that this is probably a very early gun. It very well could be that the letters on the barrel are manufacturing codes used before the POWDERX date codes came into use. The dovetail for the rear open sight has been filled with a dovetail blank. Straight stock, Lyman tang mounted folding peep sight and a folding, hooded front blade sight also. Pedersens Patent JanuOther Patents Pending."Īny help dating this rifle is much appreciated! The marking on top of the barrel says "Remington Arms Company Ilion NY U.S.A. The serial number is only five digits.***41. This particular 12C is an early one, there is no 12C marking, no UMC marking and no Remington logo marking. Who can I ask about this? It is quite confusing. The S corresponds to 1926 and the H corresponds to 1936. Neither letter is correct for the month code. Because these letters read the same right side up or upside down, I don't know which one is supposed to be on top. It is marked with an S over an H or an H over an S. They say to look for two letters and there are two letters, one above the other. On the left side of the barrel where the date marking codes are located, the information doesn't correspond to the information in the tables. I have looked at the various tables for dating a Remington model 12C Pump 22 rifle, but I still run into some issues.
