What’s Included
- Remington Model 121 Fieldmaster pump-action rifle
Manufactured in 1948, this Fieldmaster sits within the Model 121 production era of circa 1936–1954. It was built in Ilion, New York, and reflects Remington's mid-century small-bore pump design work credited to C. C. Loomis and G. H.
Garrison.
The rifle uses a smooth pump action with an under-barrel tubular magazine rated at 14+1 capacity. It feeds .22 Short, .22 Long, or .22 Long Rifle, allowing broad utility across common rimfire loads. Loading is via a front rod/knob at the magazine tube.
Core construction is all steel with a blued finish, anchored by a 24-inch round blued steel barrel and a blued steel receiver. The buttstock is walnut with a semi-pistol-grip and straight comb, paired to a ribbed walnut pump handle for secure cycling. A checkered steel buttplate with Remington script and a 14.0-inch length of pull round out the stock configuration.
Sighting is straightforward with open iron sights: a dovetailed front blade and an open leaf rear sight with a step elevator. The takedown receiver uses a large slotted screw, allowing the rifle to separate for transport or maintenance.
