Remington Model 34 .22 S/L/LR Bolt-Action Rifle, 24 in Barrel, Walnut Stock, 1930s Production
This Remington Model 34 is a classic American .22 S/L/LR bolt-action from the early 1930s, notable for its 24 in barrel with a recessed crown and Remington's patented lifter system. Built in the United States during a short production run with substantial output, it combines a period-correct walnut stock, blued finish, and iron sights with the hallmark under-barrel tubular magazine.
Produced circa 1932–1935 with approximately 163,000 made, the Model 34 stands out for its inline cartridge presentation system and versatile tube magazine capacities that were period-listed for .22 S/L/LR, .22 Long, and .22 Short. This example features the correct Remington script barrel rollmarks and caliber designation, with the serial number observed on the receiver ring.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 34 .22 LR bolt-action rifle
Remington engineered the Model 34 with a patented lifter/elevator system that presents each cartridge inline with the chamber. This design supports smooth feeding from the under-barrel tubular magazine and reflects the thoughtful small-bore engineering of the era.
The tube magazine uses a knurled magazine-tube knob and was period-listed to hold 15 rounds of .22 S/L/LR, 17 rounds of .22 Long, or 22 rounds of .22 Short. The listed capacity for .22 S/L/LR is 15+1, offering ample capacity for extended range sessions.
Its 24 in barrel is finished with a recessed crown, and the sighting system is straightforward and effective: a dovetailed front sight paired with an open leaf rear sight with a stepped elevator. The rifle shows a blued finish on the barrel and receiver, with a bright, in-the-white bolt and bolt handle as correct for the Model 34.
The walnut stock has a semi-pistol-grip profile with an uncheckered, finger-groove forend and a 13.5 in length of pull, delivering a classic feel and period-correct handling. Barrel rollmarks include the Remington script with "REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." and the caliber designation, and the serial number is observed on the receiver ring.
