Title: Re: Any Birth Year Firearms?

'mavt' - Nice Winchester!

I was about to give up. I have a British 'Jungle Carbine' and an Ithaca mod.37, that bracket my Birth Year, but, not the same.

Then, I checked my Remington model 513 "Matchmaster" and looked-up its barrel code. It appears it was made the month after I was born.

I've always had a soft spot for the "513" because it was what we learned on, as "N.R.A. Marksmanship Program - Juniors", while in the Boy Scouts. The 'Parkerized War Babies', (we had on loan from the DCM), were capable of 'Possibles' with standard .22 ammo, in the early 1960's.

I picked this 'blued' one up about 15 years ago.
