Coogan, thanks for tackling this! You've got a LOT of Remingtons!

Here's mine:

1918 Remington, 5-dot "dice" pattern on left side of shank - total mismatch, NIM, wire sling hangers - S/N 10481

Scrubbed buttplate, very faint traces of numbers and tiny "R" stamp. No US markings on stock. Bolt stamped "S48325" on left side (top flat when bolt closed), has been X'ed out. Bolt and cocking knob both Remington proofed and numbered 222599, bolt head also Remington proofed. Copper riveted handguard.
