- Remington Model 33 .22 S/L/LR single-shot bolt-action rifle
The Model 33 was introduced in 1932 as Remington’s first bolt-action rimfire. This example carries the "PATENTS PENDING" barrel marking associated with early production, alongside "MODEL 33" and the right-side script "Remington REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." The chamber is marked "22 SHORT-LONG OR LONG RIFLE," confirming its versatility with common rimfire loads.
Its action is a single-shot bolt with manual cocking via the rear striker knob, and it is striker-fired. Capacity is one round, emphasizing simplicity and control. The bore is bright and clean with good rifling, supporting the overall functional condition.
Sighting is straightforward and period-correct: a fixed blade front sight pairs with a barrel-mounted open rear sight with an elevator. The hardwood stock has a straight comb and a semi-pistol-grip wrist, is uncheckered, and ends in a rounded fore-end tip. Length of pull measures 13.25 inches.
Construction is all-steel with a blued finish on the receiver and barrel. Made in the United States during the 1930s, this rifle presents as a clean, clearly marked example of Remington’s early bolt-action rimfire design.
