Has anyone seen a Remington shotgun, or rifle, with a carved stock? The pictured stock would have been circa 1875.

That scalloped grip and that ebony inlay is found on some higher grade Remington Whitmore doubles, but I've never seen that carving at the back of the grip and into the stock before. That is a beautiful grip! Mike, post this picture over on the Remington Society of Amaerica web site under pre-1898 rifles. That should wake the rolling block boys up! http://www.remingtonsociety.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=4&sid=7868f07deefbd19ad43572463a1a82cd

Looks very well done. Any more pictures? Maybe one from the bottom?

Very nice, but I think the wood is to good (condition) for the condition of the metal.

Good idea, but not sure anything will wake them up over at the Remington society, if you will look at some of the post regarding Creedmoor and long-range questions, no answers. I could be wrong but I believe there are several Remington things in the works for publication and the exchange of information will be very limited. This is a very, IMO, important rifle, I believe that it may have belonged to Colonel John Bodine and is pictured in the woodcut of the Creedmoor team of 1875.

Whose work are we looking at Michael? I'd say it has a Russian look about it more than anything else. Who ever did it was a very fine craftsman and skilled carver with a real eye for beauty. What is the rest of the story on the rifle?

IMO this rifle was made by Remington, stock and all. This picture shows the metal better that the first, I was paying attention to the carving and not the rest when I took the picture. There are many unknowns on this rifle, the special shaped action with the patent info on top, no serial number or assembly number on the rifle.
