200 YEARS IN REMINGTON COUNTRY Remington celebrates its 200th Anniversary in the gun business as America's Oldest Gunmaker. The company is quite possibly the oldest manufacturer in America to still be making its original product.

Remington Products, commonly known as simply Remington, is an American personal care brand which manufactures hair clippers, electric shavers, epilators, and haircare products. It is a subsidiary of Spectrum Brands and Oak Hill Capital.

During the Vietnam War, the Marine Corps decided they needed a standard sniper rifle. After testing several possibilities, they ordered seven hundred Remington Model 40x rifles (target/varmint version of the Remington Model 700 bolt-action rifle), and gave them the M40 designation.

The Model 700 is known for its accuracy, so when a customer brings one in and says it shoots all over the paper, there is a good chance there's a problem with the rifle. A quick check of the muzzle will show if the crowning or the rifling at the muzzle is damaged.

The M24 Sniper Weapon System (SWS) or M24 is the military and police version of the Remington Model 700 rifle, M24 being the model name assigned by the United States Army after adoption as their standard sniper rifle in 1988.

THE MODEL 870 And with more than 11,000,000 sold since its introduction in 1950, it's become the best-selling shotgun of all time.
