Is your rifle a Safari, Medallion or Olympian Grade Bolt action? Assuming it is in absolute mint condition and no salt wood, the Safari is worth $850-$1050, Medallion grade $1,900-$2,100 and Olympian Grade $5,200-$5,800. The price range is based on condition of the rifle, wood grain and engravers (Olympian Grade). Your rifle is a short extractor model (1968-1975) which typically doesn't command the same price as the long extractor rifles (1960-1967) and it is a 7 mm. The 7 mm is one of the highest number produced calibers for that era rifle. One thing you need to do is test the wood with silver nitrate solution to find out if it is a salt wood rifle. Browning tried to cure the wood on their stocks quicker back in 1967-68 by putting a mound of salt on the stocks. The salt was pulled into the wood and now we have salt wood stocks. The majority of people will tell you that you only need to be concerned about salt wood from late 1968 to 1971. That is not true and I have prooved it. I have personally tested 1968-1974 rifles with salt wood stocks. Unfortunately, if it is a saltwood rifle you are looking at almost giving it away to get rid of it.
Numbers on a coin usually signify the year it was minted.
The makers are the two listed. Liege is the city in Belgium where it was made.
I am not aware of any Remington .22 rifle with a 672 designation. Unless there is a very late model from Remington with that model number, I believe you are referring to their model 572 rifle. The M/572 was a PUMP repeater that was initially produced in the 1950's, in various grades and is, or was until the last year or two, still being manufactured. Serial numbers were not required on .22 rifles up until December of 1968, when the infamous "Gun Control Act of 1968" was passed. If you do indeed actually have a model 572 PUMP rifle, and you can not find the serial number, you most likely have a unit manufactured prior to 12/68, since all M/572 rifles with serial numbers have them very plainly stamped on the side of the receiver.
U TELL ME. COME ON, THERE IS SOME SPACE, U SEE? ..............................
From what I understand some jewelers stamped in the ring size!
it would be stamped on the right side of the barrel.
This gun was probably produced during WWII by Remington. While the Nazi's took over the Belgium plant, Remington produced the Auto-5 under the Browning patent. The B stands for 12ga (A=16Ga, C=20Ga) and the 31398 is the serial #. As far as I can tell, Remington built these guns from 1940 until 1946 when production went back to Belgium
No. During WWII, Browning had Remington make an American A5 for them. Those guns were stamped Browning Arms Co St. Louis Mo., but they were actually made by Remington in New York.
The 20 gauge was not made in Belgium until 1958. It was made during the 1940's in what is called the Browning American Auto-5. These guns were produced by Remington in the US (New York) for Browning after Belgium was overun by the Germans in WWII. The guns were made using Remingtons model 11 equipment. A few modifications were made to incorporate more of the Browning features and were all stamped Browning Arms Co. St. Louis Mo. Remington made for Browning over 11,000 20ga guns between 1940 and 1948.
Browning imported guns never did say "fabric en belgium". Those guns that were made by FN were all stamped "made in Belgium" on the barrels, for those guns that were made for Browning. There are Browning patent guns made by FN that were sold outside the US and not imported by Browning that may have said fabric, but not on a Browning Arms Co. gun. Browning stopped production on the A5 in 1976 when production began in Japan. Any gun no matter when it was made in Belgium would be stamped made in belgium. Different models were made at different times and production by FN varied as to when they ceased.
This is what is called an American Browning. These guns were produced by Remington in the US (New York) for Browning after Belgium was overun by the Germans in WWII. The guns were made using Remingtons model 11 equipment. A few modifications were made to incorporate more of the Browning features and were all stamped Browning Arms Co. St. Louis Mo. Due to the original contract, to meet the quantities specified, Remington continued to make these for Browning after the war. No guns were made by Remington in 1943 or 1944. The last of these guns were delivered to Browning in 1949. Your gun sn: B42926 is a 12ga made and shipped to Browning in 1948.
Made in 1934.

You have what is known as an "American Browning". When the Germans invaded Belgium in 1940, Browning lost it's production from FN in Herstal. Browning went to Remington and requested that they make the Auto-5 for Browning during this time frame. Remington agreed (much at the resentment of many employees) and manufactured the gun using the Remington model 11 machinery. They added the magazine cutoff and stamped all guns as Browning Arms Co. St Louis Mo. Nowhere on these guns is there anything stamped or shown to indicate Remington. All of these guns were made at the Remington plant in Ilion New York. Over 63,000 guns were made in 12, 16 & 20 guages. The 3 shot model was also made. These guns were produced between 1940 and 1948. The last few were delivered in 1949. There was no production in 1943 and 1944 due to Remingtons obligations to the US War effort. This 20ga gun with serial number C14327 was made in 1947.
