Remington Rifle Models List & Other Categories of Firearms

Remington is one of the most recognizable names on the firearm market these days, yet the company has been defunct since 2020. It was established in 1816, and while it did split and went through various financial difficulties overtime, it has always carried the original name. Before going defunct, Remington was one of the oldest firearm manufacturers in the world, as well as the only factory in the USA that still made its original product. Throughout its long history, it has designed and adopted more cartridges than any other brand. Here are all the models made under the Remington umbrella.

Bolt action rifles

Remington is still a solid name when it comes to rifles, and bolt action rifles represented its largest category in this range.

JuniorTarget 521TL is part of the 500 series and was made until 1969 in three calibers, .22 LR, .22 Short, and .22 Long. It was one of the most popular Remington 22 rifle models of the 20th century.

While not as popular as the above mentioned rifles, it's also worth including Model 6, Model 7, Model 33, Model 541S, Model 541T, and Model 720 on the Remington rifle models list.

Pump action rifles

Remington certainly excelled in bolt action rifles, but the pump action alternatives are also worth some attention.

Model 14 was only made between 1913 and 1934, but other variants were made until 1950.

Other pump action rifles developed by Remington include Model 25, Model Six, and Sportsman 76.

Semi-automatic rifles

Semi-automatic rifles went in the same category as pump action rifles. While not plenty of them were available, some of them stood out and made the difference.

Model Four was made between 1981 and 1987 in a few different cartridges.
Model 8 was initially named Autoloading Rifle, but Remington changed its name in 1911.

Single shot rifles

Remington didn’t touch the single shot rifle market too much, yet it still released a few models with great accuracy and good value for money.

Rolling Block is not just a rifle but an actual family. It was made until 1918, serving in numerous wars throughout the 19th century. It could take dozens of different cartridges.
Naval Model 1865 Pistol was actually a pistol. Made until 1870, it was a single shot unit that used the .50 caliber.

Other quality releases from Remington include Remington-Hepburn No. 3 Falling Block Rifle, Rolling Block Model 4, and Rolling Block Model 6.

Automatic rifles

Remington joined the automatic rifle market with three different units, each with its own particularities. The ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) was produced between 2010 and 2020 with more variants. Remington designed the military version, while Bushmaster produced the civilian alternative. R4 is based on the AR-15 model and has been made since 2012. It was most commonly used against wars on different fronts against the Islamic State. It uses the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge. R5 RGP (Remington Gas Piston) follows the same AR-15 model and was made between 2010 and 2016. It used the classic 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge.

Pump action shotguns

While Remington did gain notoriety with its wide variety of rifles, the truth is Remington shotgun models are just as popular and varied.

Model 10 was designed by John Pedersen. The 12 gauge shotgun was made in nearly 300,000 units, as well as a few variants.
Model 17 was designed in 1913, and only about 73,000 units were made. It was a 20 gauge shotgun weighing nearly 5.8 pounds.
Model 31 was initially designed for the sporting market and dominated the competition, including the popular Winchester Model 1912.
Model 870 has been made since 1951 and used with both military and civilian purposes. Remington 870 models are among the most popular shotguns in the world, with more than 11 million units made so far.
Model 887 stood out with its unique polymer design, a unique material known as ArmorLokt. It was known for resisting any type of weather, without leaving any external components to rust.
Model 29 is also worth being mentioned, yet it failed to gain the popularity Remington was hoping for.

Semi-automatic shotguns

Remington didn't excel in semi-automatic shotguns, but there are quite a few releases that gained popularity all over the world.

Model 11 was basically designed as a variant of Browning Automatic 5. The popular shotgun had a few other variants, too.
Model 11-48 was one of the most innovative semi-automatic shotguns released after World War II. It was made until 1968.

V3 was designed in 2015 in a few variants, such as Tactical, Pro, and Field Sport. Each of these variants has a few sub-variants, too.

Break action shotguns

Break action shotguns from Remington are among the safest and most reliable shotguns ever made, yet the American manufacturer has only created seven such shotguns. SPR 100 is sold and marketed by Remington, yet it’s basically a variant of the Russian IZh-18. It can be a 12 or 20 gauge shotgun, as well as a .410 bore shotgun. SPR 310 featured two barrels and was only made until 2009. SPR 310S was its variant. The shotgun was chambered for multiple calibers. Other reliable break action shotguns from Remington include Model 32, Model 3200, Model 3, Model 9, and Model 1894 SXS.

Semi-automatic handguns

Only a few semi-automatic handguns from Remington’s collection have actually made it big in their segment.

1911 R1 is based on the Colt 1911. It's been in production since 2010 and uses the .45 ACP cartridge.
Model 51 was designed in 1917 and produced in about 65,000 units until 1926.
R51 became available in 2014 in the 9x19mm Parabellum caliber.
RM380 used the .380 ACP cartridge. It's still available today despite the production being stopped in 2015.

Other semi-automatic handguns designed by Remington include RP9 and RP45.

Derringer handguns

Derringer handguns from Remington were popular for their concealable profile and impressive power for their size.

Rider Single Shot Pistol was made in 200 units only between 1860 and 1863. It's considered a collectible today.
Zig-Zag Derringer was produced during the same time but in about 1,000 units. It used the .22 Short cartridge.
Model 95 was produced over nearly 70 years, with multiple small changes throughout the production. It used the .41 Short caliber.

Revolvers

Remington produced three revolvers throughout its impressive history. Model 1858 had a bunch of variations and was a top gun in multiple countries, including Canada, Australia, France, and the Russian Empire. Model 1875 was made between 1875 and 1889 and used more cartridges, .45 Colt, .44-40 Winchester, and .44 Remington. Last, but not least, Model 1890 was based on Model 1875 and came in two variants. The finish was the only difference, nickel or blued.

Other

It's important to mention XP-100, too, a bolt action pistol designed in 1961 and made until 1998 with multiple calibers and variants. On the same note, Express Air Rifle was also in Remington’s production, but it didn’t gain too much popularity. As a final conclusion, it's easy to tell what made Remington such an important player in the firearm market. While it did try to touch different segments of the industry, rifles represent the primary category for the American manufacturer, with many of them dominating their competition for many years.
