Sorry - you still lost me.....

Are you referring to a research letter you ordered from Remington?

I am talking about the 1970s Remington research letter that started this thread.

I did not realize they started that late, but that would explain the rarity (and corresponding high prices)

Where did Remington get the detailed information about the dates various parts of the gun were completed?

From what I now understand Mike, they got it from the original factory build records. Ith IBM cards were merely a “quick reference” or basic inventory card with a few basics and sometimes who the gun was for or was shipped to.

Does anyone know where those records are? Has anyone actually seen them?

Great question Mike. I’d like to know the answer too.

Chuck, do you know?
