Continuing production of that famed bolt gun– used by Sergeant Alvin York in his famous action on the Western Front– Remington marketed the incredibly strong M1917 action on the sporting market as the Model 30 until the Second World War. Just 20 years after the Civil War– a conflict in which the common soldier used a percussion-fired muzzleloader that even the most highly trained marksman could only fire three times *per minute*– Remington leap ahead in firearms technology by bringing a bolt-action repeating rifle that fed from a box-magazine to the market– James Paris Lee’s Model 1885.Īfter that, Remington was heavily involved in making P14 and M1917 Enfield-pattern bolt-action rifles in World War I, first for the British and then for Uncle Sam.
