Remington Model 550 24″ .22 S, L, OR LR 15rd, American Walnut
1 in stock
Description
This Pre-Owned Remington Model 550 is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle built in 1946, placing it in the first year of production for a design that would go on to sell in the hundreds of thousands. The 550 was Remington's answer to a common rimfire frustration of the era: most self-loaders were tuned for a single cartridge length. Carbine Williams' floating chamber let the action cycle .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle interchangeably, no adjustment and no sorting of ammunition required.
The 24-inch barrel and one-piece American Walnut stock give it the weight and balance of a full-size sporter, which suits small game hunting, casual range work, and plinking with whatever rimfire ammunition is on hand. Shooters looking for an early-production example of a well-documented American rimfire will find this one worth a look. Wear is consistent with a rifle of this age and use.
Remington Model 550 Features
- Floating chamber action feeds and cycles .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle without any change to the rifle, so mixed ammunition stays usable
- Tubular magazine mounted under the barrel holds 15 rounds of .22 Long Rifle, with higher counts possible using shorter cartridges
- 24-inch barrel stretches the sight radius and wrings more velocity out of rimfire loads than a carbine-length tube
- Blowback operation keeps the mechanism simple and easy to maintain over a long service life
- One-piece American Walnut stock with a semi-pistol grip gives the rifle traditional lines and a solid hold
