1902 Remington .22

[churchmouse]

My BIL recently found his boy hood hunting rifle in the basement at his Mothers house. It was his grandfathers/fathers and then his.
It has some issues with the firing pin (mushroomed) and the breech block will not stay up. I believe it used to have a spring that kept it up until the it was pushed it down for loaded a shell. I have it totally disassembled and find what I believe is part of the missing spring.
My question, where would I find info on this gun. All the markings tell me is it is a Remington. There is a patented in 1902 stamped in the side. No model etc. anywhere I can find.

If it were not so valuable to BIL for memory's sake I would tell him to put it on the wall as a keep sake but he wants to teach his sons to shoot with it.

Any info greatly appreciated.

Definitely will do that. My BIL's kids ask me about it every time I see them. Looks like a range day family style when I get it done.....

This thread is an example of why I spend so much time on INGO.

Got the parts today.
All the bits are soaking in the parts washer waiting for a good cleaning.

Spent about an hour fitting the firing pin in the block. Still some refinement to do.
1st clean up of some crud that has to be ancient.....

Finished the little gun up tonight. I will take it out to the woods tomorrow and see how it shoots.
