Introducing the Remington Model 25, a classic pump-action rifle that embodies a perfect blend of historical significance and practical utility. Chambered in the revered .25-20 Winchester, this rifle is a true gem for collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike. Built between 1922 and 1937, the Model 25 was designed for smaller centerfire cartridges, offering an ideal balance for hunting small to medium-sized game such as coyotes and raccoons. With its 10-round capacity and 24-inch barrel, this rifle was engineered to deliver reliable performance with a nostalgic touch.
The overall condition of this piece is fair, showcasing extensive signs of prior use and handling. It is recommended for a gunsmith inspection before use due to a stiff trigger with the ability to slam fire. The bore, while generally clean, has moderate fouling and slight corrosion, yet retains good rifling with well-defined lands and grooves. This sale includes the rifle itself, featuring its original blued finish, walnut stock with a curved metal buttplate, and a ribbed forend.
Crafted in the United States, the Remington Model 25 was part of Remington's strategic expansion into pump-action rifles, competing with similar designs from Colt and Winchester. A scaled-down version of the popular Model 14, it was attributed to the innovative John Pedersen. The rifle's front blade and rear adjustable buckhorn sights offer precise target acquisition, making it a versatile choice for both collectors and hunters.
This rifle's historical significance and practical functionality make it a coveted piece. Whether you're drawn to its vintage charm or its capability as a reliable hunting rifle, the Remington Model 25 is a unique addition to any firearm collection. Experience the craftsmanship of the early 20th century and add a piece of history to your arsenal today.
