Disassembly/Reassembly of the Remington Model 5 Rimfire Rifle
The first Remington Number 5 bears no resemblance to the new Remington Model 5. The two rifles differ as much as cats and dogs do. The old Number 5 was a rolling-block sporting and target rifle adapted to use smokeless powder ammunition. It was introduced in 1898, initially chambered for .30-30 Winchester, 7mm Mauser, .30-40 Krag, with .303 British added a few years later. The rifle flopped. Only 198 were sold before it went out of production in 1903. That was too bad for Remington but a good deal for anyone who owns a Number 5, as it would be a mighty nice collector's piece today. I don't think the new Remington Model 5 will suffer the same fate as the old Number 5. Right now, it's a clip-fed bolt-action available in .22 LR and .22 WMR. I have few doubts that in the future it will be able to handle one or more of the .17-caliber rounds gaining popularity. While it wears "Remington" on its box and at the rear of the receiver, you'll find "Zastava-Serbia" above and forward of the magazine housing.
