The April 1897 Remington Arms Co. catalogue, which introduced the “Ordnance Steel” barrels: “Remington” blued steel barrels are manufactured in our own works, and sold at the same price as ordinary Damascus barrels. Guaranteed for nitro powders and free from all imperfections. (courtesy of Dave Noreen)
The 1902 catalog stated the Remington Ordnance Steel tensile strength was 110,000 lbs per sq. inch with an elastic limit of 60,000 psi.

Should last awhile ;)

I have attempted to contact Charles Semmer at the number listed on the Remington site but the number is no longer in service. I am hoping to purchase one of his special edition books from him if they are avalible.
By chance does anyone have a number for him other than
303-429-6947.

Phil,
I believe Charles has passed away, as I see him mentioned in past tense. If he hasn't I am terribly sorry.
Ken

P.s. Congratulations on your purchase!!

Thank you, I am sorry to learn of this.

If anyone knows where I might purchase one of his hard bound books I would greatly appreciate the lead.

Dan Cote may be selling them.

Thank you Bill but it shows they are sold out of the hard back books. I may need to settle for a paper back.

I wish I could remember to whom I loaned my copy...

Phil, don't buy a paperback. The pictures in the hardback edition are astounding and won't be the same in a copy. The paperback will be worth about $2.00 a week after you get it. Hang on, someone will come up with one.

Don't worry about a dust jacket. They never had a dust jacket.
