OH MY GOD! Grandpa died of black lung in 2016, had one of these under his couch for decades... He left the rifle to me and this is my favorite 22 rifle of all time. I love the hell out of this rifle.
@RedEagle 1 All good brother, he held on with pretty good quality of life for 24 years after he left the mine. Yep, I already have this and the Stevens 410/22 left to the youngster in the family in my will.
The first firearm I ever fired and learned to maintain. My grandfathers, then my fathers. Now it's in my safe! Love this rifle, One of my dearest treasures. Miss ya Pops
In the era of tacticool high speed gadgets and gear it’s nice and refreshing to see just simple, old school, and nostalgic firearms. They have a charm about them that the modern can’t replicate.
I have a 550-1 made in 1952. Mom bought it new as a gift for my Dad from Western Auto. Love this gun. It is accurate and shoots reliably, but must be cleaned to shoot the 22 shorts consistently. Cleaning is not that difficult. I have been doing it since I was 7-8 years old. This was my squirrel gun. I still love to take it out plinking. I taught my daughters to shoot with this gun and hopefully the grandkids will get the pleasure of shooting it too. So many good memories associated with this gun. So many yet to come. Thanks for reviewing this classic.
I inherited my Grandfather’s Remington 550-1 made in the 50s. It was his squirrel rifle, and there are a few notches cut into the stock. Now he just uses a BB gun
@@myronhornby1859 age it? I haven’t changed it at all. Every piece on that rifle is original. I can tell you when I got it there was so much carbon it was like cosmoline on an SKS.
@@myronhornby1859 well I just went off of my grandfather’s age when he recieved it and made an estimate to its age. He told me he got it around 10 or 12 and he was born in 42. So, do the math
Almost bought one about a month ago but backed down because of the price, they were asking $380. Might go back and make an offer after watching your video! Keep up the great work, love the channel!
This brings back memories. My dad still has this rifle. It was my first gun I ever shot. He had original spring taken out and a stronger spring put in. It will only shoot LR. I’ve killed many a critter with that rifle.
I got a 552 from my father-in-law that’s immaculate. The wood and bluing are better than most 22s. I too have feeding issues after shooting shorts and have to clean the chamber for the LRs to feed reliably. But I’m just amazed that it can shoot just about anything. One of my treasured items in the collection.
I had a 552 for a short time. I bought it for the versatility only to learn as a teenager that I couldn’t afford to shoot .22 shorts through it much, as they cost about 3 times what the LR ammo did at the time. When I shot .22 shorts in it, everything was fine, but when I shot .22 lr, hot powder gases and flaming powder would hit me in the face with every shot, even though I am right handed and my face was on the other side of the gun away from the ejection port. I wanted it to work well, but it was just not worth it to me. I traded it in, or sold it off decades ago, and never looked back. I bought a Marlin model 39, and it would shoot anything I cared to put in it, and being a lever action, didn’t tattoo my face with hot powder. I think a pump action along the same lines would have been awesome. I have thought of getting a Henry pump .22 as a nostalgic replacement.
My dad, who got one of these as his first rifle in the early 50's, used to back out the recoil spring knob on the back a turn or two to run CB's. Definitely a "don't try this at home" but it works.
@@TubeSteakTaco A CB Cap shell is a 22 short with no powder, just primer. It produces little.noise and a low velocity. Cycling in semi autos is often an issue due to light load. IMO, ballistics.on CB Cap slightly exceeds a modern, nitro piston pellet rifle.
My father in law passed one of these down to my wife after he passed away, after we got it I tore it down and gave it some love, after she was cleaned I ran about 50 rounds through it and I was very impressed with it, nice shooting rifle.
Eric, He said you wanted to plant some flowers. Try planting some zinnias all over that berm or anywhere you want. Just throw some seed down in the spring. They are a hearty flower they will re-seed themselves and come up year after year. And they like your climate. I’m in NC and the do great very low maintenance. And loads of great colors!
Amazing little rifle. Was at a Canadian Hunting & Militaria Show this weekend. Saw one of these in near mint condition with a great bore. Picked it up for $250 CAD so about $200 USD. Awesome rustic classic. "They don't make them like they used to" applies here!
I don't have this model but I have 2 mag fed Remingtons, a bolt action and a Semi auto from the early 60's that look about the same. Came across them at a Gun show and haven't been disappointed yet.
My dad gave me his for my first rifle when I was 11 years old. I put many thousands of rounds thru it over many years. Great memories! I'm 47 now and although I don't shoot it anymore, I'll never sell it. It will go to my son someday.
A 550-1 was my first rifle, and I still have it. Dad bought it used in 1972 when I was 14. Mine runs the CB shorts flawlessly. The CB longs don't work because they cover up the floating chamber gap. I like to alternate CBs and LRs. If I'm at the range, people always come over to see 'what's going on'!
I think the "AG" barrel stamp refers to March 1960. The first letter "A" is the third letter of blackpowder which designates the third month, March. The second letter "G" is for 1960. I have a 550-1 from 1947 that I am bidding on right now!
My dad grew up on the farm adjacent to Carbine Williams. Mr williams gave my dad and all hiis brothers one of these rifles. I still have mine. I love it.
You can adjust recoil spring on back of receiver so it can run those changes shorts. I love mine I have 3 one 550 which is the oldest and first version and then and old 550-1 and a newer 550-1 with scope mount
This was the first gun I ever owned. I inherited it from my Grandpa after he passed. Never knew he owned it but my Grandma told me he got it after getting home from vietnam. Got it at age 19 and now almost 10 years later i take it out about once a year, shoot it and clean it. It runs any ammo ive loaded it with except browning for some reason.
Nothing says fun like a Henry 22lr. Bought my son one for his first rifle and the thing just shoots. He is almost 21 now and says he wants to pass it down to his kid when he decides to have one. So many great memories with his 22's. His first pistol was a Ruger SR22.
Eric, I own one these fantastic rifles. It was my father’s and he gave it to me. I am 74 years old. This rifle can shoot the eye out of a newt at 100 yards. It is extremely accurate. Thank you for reviewing this favorite!
I've have a couple of these, my last one I got was from a pawnshop for under $150, it had a bulge in the barrel. I cut the barrel down to the magazine feed tube, re cut the front sight dovetail and it is one of my favorite .22 cal rifles. It's the perfect squirrel rifle, and brush gun.
I have a 581 think? It’s the “boys rifle” bolt action mag fed.. It was a present many many years ago from my dad. One of my most cherished possessions. It’s a tack driver and tree rat slayer.
Those 550-1 are wonderful guns. I learned how to shoot by using my Dad's who he got it from his grandfather when he passed away. I agree, I have the same gripes that you have about the gun but anytime I hold one I feel like I'm a kid again. Thanks for the video.
That’s awesome!! I found a Remington 552 and the best I can tell it’s from the mid 70s to mid 80s, I put a small scope on it and it is now my favorite 22. It will eat shorts long and long rifle it’s crazy!! So much fun!!
I got a bolt action Remington Model 582. An uncle of mine used it in ROTC back in the late 60s or early 70s (back when you could bring a gun to high school without the FBI and ATF being called on you) and after that it sat in my grandfathers closet unused for decades. The safety/bolt release latch was broken (in the fire position) but when my grandfather died about 10 years ago, it got passed on to me and I took it to a smith and got the latch reattached. It's been a fun little plinking rifle ever since. Very reliable and pretty accurate for having such basic sights.
I just got my hands on an old sears roebuck model 46 (basically a marlin model 46) There's just something about shooting an old wooden stock .22 that brings a smile to my face.
Great video. I just received a 550-1 from an uncle who was is dying. He had gotten it from my dad, who died 20 years ago. Looking forward to shooting it.
My dad had a 550-A he purchased in the early 60's that gun must have fired 10, 000 rounds before it was passed to me and the cost of a box of shorts was , I believe, .25 cents back in the late 60's.
1st rifle I ever shot was my Grandfather's 550-1. I am now the proud owner of that sweet old classic after my Grandfather passed away. Runs like a damn champ
I love shooting an old 22. I've got my grandpa's old Browning SA-22. My dad learned to shoot on it as a kid, so that thing has to be atleast 50 years old.
One of my favorite 22 rifles ever made. I have had a few in my Tiny channel over the years. These are super fun to shoot if they have been taken care of.
I have one too. Your floating chamber probably needs cleaning to run the low power shorts. 22 shorts are really quiet. Almost like shooting with a suppressor. Enjoyed the video. They are cool old guns.
Personally I love tube fed guns. Refer them over box mags. Higher capacity. If you keep them clean they'll feed just fine. The Marlin model 60 for example, 500 rounds you better be cleaning it. But I have a browning BL22 that I literally put 5,000 rounds through before cleaning it.
My Dad bought one in April 1941 for $16.49 at Sears in Jacksonville, Florida. It was the first gun I learned to shoot. I now have it and love it. I also have a 552 which I bought in 1964 for $45.00 at Western Auto in Jacksonville, Florida. It is also a sweet-shooting rifle.
I love these rifles. I have my Grandpa's old one he got when he was a young man. I ended up ordering a bunch of spare parts for it so when things break I can keep that gun running. Great video
Wow...really cool to see this! I have my dad's 550-1. Best I can tell it was made in February of 1951. It's in pretty good shape...maybe not quite as good as the one in your video and yes...it is cumbersome to dissemble. Thanks for bringing back memories!
I had a nice example of one of those. Traded it and a few other rifles towards a Burnside SRC. You could mix and match ammo, S, L, LR, it cycled CCI Quiet ammo flawlessly.
I inherited my grandfather’s Remington 572, a pump action, you can work it fast enough that it feels like a semi-auto. It is beautiful and I have plans to thread the barrel and modernize it with a duracoat job. I’m not a traditionalist.
Love it. I just found one for a good price with an old tasco scope on it. Took it out and it was still sighted in dead on right from the gun shop. I think a lot of people overlook these great old guns because they are not tacticool but they are super useful.
Yep a good PSA from Eric here when switching back and forth with short and long rifle, clean it up. My 552 Speedmaster had a FTF into full battery from a previous outing months prior with short ammo. Forgot about it,, loaded the LR and it went POW at the breech, blew the deflector off because the brass case vented next to the rim. Bullet did clear the barrel on its own. Rimfire is great except the fouling in autoloaders.
Nice. Reminds me of my first gun, a Marlin 1957, Levermatic 22 mag. It handled mags and LR fine, but anything smaller, no good. It was the size and weight of a 30-06. A real heafty gun.
I got one for $150 dollars a year ago. I got rid of all my other 22 rimmed except my Ruger 10/22 and my Rossi RS22M. It does work with high velocity but take it easy on the LR HV. Short HV does great.
I lost my great uncle about 5 years ago. He had one of this and left it to me due to dad and I being his only nephews. I love shooting it and hunting with it
GREETINGS FROM THE PPRC GREAT VIDEO. I HAVE A 550-1 mom bought for dad in 1946 when he got home from the war, he was in the Navy in the Pacific. It’s still taking squirrels 🐿️ 🇺🇸
At the rear of the receiver there is a knob. You can turn that counter clockwise to loosen the spring in there to more reliably run 22 shorts, then turn it back to where it was for regular ammo or just find a happy median that will run it all if possible. Hope this helps somebody. Love your channel, happy shooting.
Reminds me of my granpa's Stevens 87A. It would run LR and Long, but for shorts you had to lock the bolt and use it as a (sorta) bolt action. If you loaded it with Plinkster's favorite Stangers and locked the bolt you could get some spectacular results from reactive targets. You could explode a 12 oz. soda can. Eggs would disappear.
I have one. When my Grandfather passed my cousin received his 550-1 and I got the Winchester model 67 bolt action single shot that also accepts S, L, and LR. Well, fast forward to just a few years ago and pancreatic cancer takes my cousin way too young and I end up with the Remington.
I'm watching one on an online auction right now that's in excellent condition from the pictures. As long as the price doesn't get run up, I'll put a bid in. Cool and versatile rifle.

Almost bought one about a month ago but backed down because of the price, they were asking $380. Might go back and make an offer after watching your video! Keep up the great work, love the channel!
Love my Remington 552 Speedmaster. Shoots it all even CB
Yeah I love my 552 to it's can also cycle the cci .22 quiets

I got the 582 that is tube fed. Fun rifle.
That is the perfect rifle for a young boy I had a model 94 .22 magnum that I got and still have it today got it at 10 and what fun
This is the first firearm that I ever shot. My dad had it as a youth. I inherited it from him.
I own one of those! Shoots better than my 10/22!
I bought one several years ago and it was absolutely fantastic! I gifted it to my father in law and he loves it. It's a hell of a classic rifle.

This is crazy, I was just thinking about and looking up vids of these last night and this morning then boom this pops up lol.
I inherited one of these from my grandpa and i love it still to this day
I picked one at a pawnshop about 10 years ago for $85. It’s missing the shell deflector but shoots great.
Great find!
I love the savage 6A it shoots shorts longs and long rifle but shorts and long it does it as a bolt action
I have one here in Sweden with red dot and silencer. And it works incredibly well. Such a fun gun to shoot with 💥
I have one... fantastic rifle. Got it from my dad, he got when a kid, always works great just keep it clean.
That’s awesome!! I found a Remington 552 and the best I can tell it’s from the mid 70s to mid 80s, I put a small scope on it and it is now my favorite 22. It will eat shorts long and long rifle it’s crazy!! So much fun!!

I've seen a 550 with the words "patent pending" stamped into it..... very cool.
Watched this video while researching the 550-1 to see if I wanted to bid on one in an auction. You sold me. Put in my bid. Hoping for the best.
Old tube fed .22s are so neat to use. My grandpa's got a Marlin 81 DL, and that's what I learned basic bolt action repair on. Neat little baby, that
Great video. I just received a 550-1 from an uncle who was is dying. He had gotten it from my dad, who died 20 years ago. Looking forward to shooting it.

I have a Remington speed master. The ability to shoot most .22 is awesome.
I run shorts through my '46 121 fieldmaster and the loudest part is the action. It's so much fun!
grew up with one, it was grandfather's, was stolen one day while we was both at the V.A. hospital in the early 90's.
I have one when I shoot it, it reminds me of the old arcade days that's when I first shot one
One of my favorite 22 rifles ever made. I have had a few in my Tiny channel over the years. These are super fun to shoot if they have been taken care of.
I have one too. Your floating chamber probably needs cleaning to run the low power shorts. 22 shorts are really quiet. Almost like shooting with a suppressor. Enjoyed the video. They are cool old guns.

That’s a cool old rifle. I have a Remington 572 fieldmaster pump. Super cool gun.
I've owned a 550-1 for 20 years now. Numrich has saved it many times, as repairs are needed.

found myself one of these babes for 145 and it is currently my favorite gun
I had a nice example of one of those. Traded it and a few other rifles towards a Burnside SRC. You could mix and match ammo, S, L, LR, it cycled CCI Quiet ammo flawlessly.
As I recall Remington back in the day each craftsman that would build a rifle would have their our personal stamp that they would apply to the barrel.
I just purchased oneand I love it, prolly one of my favorite plinkers.
In my opinion the 550-1 is the best plinker ever made. I love mine to death. A Speed loader makes it a bullet hose!
Hey Eric love your videos. Thanks for the content.
I inherited my grandfather’s Remington 572, a pump action, you can work it fast enough that it feels like a semi-auto. It is beautiful and I have plans to thread the barrel and modernize it with a duracoat job. I’m not a traditionalist.
Ours is still going strong since my dad bought it new back in the 50's and is a blast to shoot.
Love it. I just found one for a good price with an old tasco scope on it. Took it out and it was still sighted in dead on right from the gun shop. I think a lot of people overlook these great old guns because they are not tacticool but they are super useful.
good luck with the new range looks good

Forgot about it,, loaded the LR and it went POW at the breech, blew the deflector off because the brass case vented next to the rim. Bullet did clear the barrel on its own. Rimfire is great except the fouling in autoloaders.
Nice. Reminds me of my first gun, a Marlin 1957, Levermatic 22 mag. It handled mags and LR fine, but anything smaller, no good. It was the size and weight of a 30-06. A real heafty gun.
I got one for $150 dollars a year ago.
I got rid of all my other 22 rimmed except my Ruger 10/22 and my Rossi RS22M.
It does work with high velocity but take it easy on the LR HV. Short HV does great.
Love the new range! Such a great 22 rifle 👊 Thanks for sharing your old/new Remington. Keep rocking it👊🇺🇲🇺🇲
I lost my great uncle about 5 years ago. He had one of this and left it to me due to dad and I being his only nephews. I love shooting it and hunting with it
I like my nylon 22 it's tube fed also I like the new range I wish I had the room to do my own
GREETINGS FROM THE PPRC GREAT VIDEO. I HAVE A 550-1 mom bought for dad in 1946 when he got home from the war, he was in the Navy in the Pacific. It’s still taking squirrels 🐿️ 🇺🇸
Very cool .22, I’m the caretaker of a friends Winchester Model61. Tube fed pump action, it shoots .22 short, long & LR. It’s super fun to shoot.
Love mine 550 -A1 with its original Weaver scope on it
One of my favorite 22s Thanks for Sharing this with us Sir
I recently picked one up at a local pawn shop. Haven't had it out much, but it's been a very fun little shooter.
At the rear of the receiver there is a knob. You can turn that counter clockwise to loosen the spring in there to more reliably run 22 shorts, then turn it back to where it was for regular ammo or just find a happy median that will run it all if possible. Hope this helps somebody.
Love your channel, happy shooting.
Reminds me of my granpa's Stevens 87A. It would run LR and Long, but for shorts you had to lock the bolt and use it as a (sorta) bolt action. If you loaded it with Plinkster's favorite Stangers and locked the bolt you could get some spectacular results from reactive targets. You could explode a 12 oz. soda can. Eggs would disappear.
I have one. When my Grandfather passed my cousin received his 550-1 and I got the Winchester model 67 bolt action single shot that also accepts S, L, and LR. Well, fast forward to just a few years ago and pancreatic cancer takes my cousin way too young and I end up with the Remington.
I have a regular Remington 550. Beautiful rifle and a great plinker.
I'm watching one on an online auction right now that's in excellent condition from the pictures. As long as the price doesn't get run up, I'll put a bid in. Cool and versatile rifle.
would love to see a review of a remington 34. i was handed down one that was my grandma's dad's. still shoots dead on and bolt is smooth as glass.
I see these at a local shop on occasion.
Nice looking guns
Very cool gun. Like those old classics. Keep up the great work.
My dad has one I learned on this. We've been able to mix up the tube with longs and shorts and it cycles.
