Only a few thousand Model 2 rifles were manufactured from 1873 to 1910. The top barrel flat is marked "E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N.Y." behind of the rear sight. This older style barrel address indicates this rifle was built prior to 1888 or shortly thereafter using parts on hand. The lower left side of the receiver is marked with the six line patent dates, and the matching serial number is marked on the lower tang and the bottom barrel flat under the forearm. The replacement forearm is mismatched, number 6223 on interior rear face. The caliber designation "38" is marked on the bottom barrel flat ahead of the forearm. The front of the muzzle is hand scratched with "368", and the inside of the forearm is hand marked "Twist 1-22 368 GD". It has a long Stevens 460 scope, smooth forearm and straight wrist stock, and a clamp on round knob palm rest marked "PAT. APL'D FOR".

Very good as assembled (see above). The barrel retains 60% of the thinning original blue finish and has primarily a brown patina on the balance. The action retains more than 50% of the original case colors. The re-oiled wood is good with minor scratches and dings and a well executed repaired crack in the wrist only visible on close inspection. The scope body retains 30% of the original finish with a brown patina on the balance and has a few dings. The action and optics are excellent. The markings are crisp.
