The receiver is marked "Remington Speedmaster Model 552" and shows Remington proof marks. It uses an aluminum alloy receiver that was originally black-anodized and now shows a two-tone finish (silver/gray side panels with darker top strap/edges), paired to a blued steel barrel. The stock set is walnut with a straight-comb profile, smooth fore-end, no checkering, and a black buttplate. Length of pull measures 13.5 in.
This 552 runs a blowback-operated semi-automatic action with a cross-bolt safety. It ejects to the right and includes a stamped sheet-metal shroud/deflector at the ejection port. The rifle has a barrel-mounted front sight; rear sight configuration may vary.
The 21 in barrel is matched to a full-length under-barrel tubular magazine with a knurled inner-tube cap and single hanger. It is designed to cycle .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle without adjustment, with a typical capacity of 15+1 using .22 LR.
A Bushnell Sportview 3-9x32 scope is installed using Weaver USA rings on a tip-off style mounting base. The receiver incorporates a 3/8 in tip-off dovetail for scope mounting, complementing the included base and rings.
The observed barrel date code "OV" decodes to July 1979 (confidence medium). This rifle was manufactured by Remington Arms in Ilion, New York, United States.
