Remington Model 572 Fieldmaster Lightweight "Crow-Wing Black" .22 S/L/LR Pump-Action Rifle, 23 Inch Barrel (1957)
This 1957 Remington Model 572 Fieldmaster is the scarce Lightweight variant finished in Crow-Wing Black, a color offered for only a few years and sought by collectors. It pairs an aluminum alloy receiver with a steel-lined aluminum barrel to reduce weight while retaining durability. The rifle remains in very good condition with an excellent, mirror-bright bore.
Built in the United States during the 1950s, this example features period-correct appointments, including a gloss-finished hardwood stock with checkering and a Remington-marked hard buttplate. The 23 inch barrel and 14.0 inch length of pull offer a classic .22 rimfire configuration, and the under-barrel tubular magazine is configured for 15+1 rounds of .22 LR.
Sighting equipment is factory iron: a brass bead front sight and a folding rear leaf with a stepped elevator. Operation is via a smooth pump-action with a right-side ejection port and a cross-bolt safety. The long beavertail forend complements the lightweight build and provides a solid grasp for cycling.
The Crow-Wing Black anodized receiver finish and matching barrel finish present a distinctive look specific to this lightweight series. Markings include the Remington circled R and a barrel date-code stamp "D." Overall, this is a clean, collectible Fieldmaster variant that represents a short-run finish and construction combination from Remington's mid-century era.

The Lightweight configuration uses an aluminum alloy receiver and a steel-lined aluminum barrel to reduce carry weight without sacrificing a steel bore surface. The receiver wears a Crow-Wing Black anodized finish that matches the barrel's Crow-Wing Black color, a distinctive look tied to this limited-production period.
Feeding is through an under-barrel tubular magazine with a knurled inner-tube handle and a cartridge cut-off/loading port. Factory capacities were typically 15 rounds of .22 LR, 17 of .22 Long, or 20 of .22 Short; this rifle is specified at 15+1 for .22 LR.
Stock furniture is gloss-finished hardwood with a straight-comb profile, checkered grip panel, and a white-line spacer behind the Remington-marked hard buttplate. A long beavertail forend complements the pump action and matches the stock in material and finish.
Factory iron sights include a brass bead front sight and a folding rear leaf with a stepped elevator. Additional details include a right-side ejection port and a cross-bolt safety. Markings consist of the Remington circled R and a barrel date-code stamp "D," consistent with the listed 1957 manufacture year.
