Thanks PH.

Gorgeous figure in that wood and the checkering is excellent too. I see that Aguila made a limited run of Winchester’s unique .22 Win Auto ammo for that rifle. Hope you grab/grabbed some. Regardless, that’s a great historically important semiautomatic.

Very cool. I'm in love with these old .22 rifles, Winchesters and Remingtons.

Thanks Bob. I am as well. I really like these old American-made firearms finely crafted from walnut and steel.

Nice setup you have there Jon. I wonder how much one of the five made in '43 would be worth.

Thanks. It would be cool to have for sure. I doubt there are many people who would pay more than the $500-600 going rate for any Model 121. They made nearly 200K 121s so the odds of finding one of those made in 1943 is 1:40,000

I found this diamond in the rough at the local gun shop four weeks ago. It had some old flaky shellac that I assumed was applied by a former owner. It was easy to strip off and replace with a couple of coats of BLO. Also did a detail cleaning and lube of all the internals.

This one was made in 1945. 1943-44 saw very little production of firearms for civilian sales at Remington. I guess they were busy making 1903-A3 and A4 rifles. Commercial production ramped up quickly in the latter half of 1945.

WWII Era and 1946 Model 121 Production Numbers
1941: 11,705
1942: 6,528
1943: 5
1944: 21
1945: 8,092
1946: 13,292

I was surprised at how many parts are serialized, with a total of five SNs.
Specs: OAL of 42”, 24” barrel, 28” for just the barrel assembly portion in takedown mode, 14” LOP, a capacity of 15 .22LR cartridges in the tube magazine. It can shoot .22short/long/lr.

Additional serial numbers, besides the only externally visible one on the receiver.

Pics of the stock before removing the chipped and flaking shellac with denatured alcohol.

I got it figured out. I have a Chinese contract to Albania sling with Albanian language writing on it on the way along with a cleaning kit that has the correct internal parts and an Albanian Chest rig. All I need now is the oil tube.
