*SOLD* 1931 Remington Model 12 .22S/L/LR Blue 22" *CLASSIC SLIDE-ACTION RIFLE*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Model 12 is a classic American slide-action rimfire rifle introduced in 1909 and produced until 1936, with over 800,000 units manufactured. Designed by John D. Pedersen, the Model 12 was Remington’s answer to the Winchester pump-action rimfires of the era, offering a sleek, hammerless design and a takedown action that allowed for easy disassembly and maintenance. Chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle, it featured a tubular magazine beneath the barrel and came in both round and octagon barrel configurations, often measuring 22 inches in length. The rifle earned a strong reputation for its smooth action, solid accuracy, and durable construction, making it a favorite among small-game hunters, plinkers, and early 20th-century American families. The Model 12 was available in several variations, including the 12A (standard), 12B (gallery rifle in .22 Short), and deluxe versions with upgraded wood and checkering. Its concealed hammer and internal breech block system gave it a more modern and streamlined profile compared to its contemporaries, while still delivering the reliability expected from Remington. Today, the Model 12 remains a popular collectible and nostalgic shooter, often passed down through generations. Its historical significance, coupled with its refined mechanical design, ensures its place as one of the most beloved rimfire pump rifles of the early 20th century.
