Looking at a 1950 rem 722 in .222.
Date provided by Remington.
The stock has a black tipped fore end.... cap with white spacer on pistol grip and butt plate.
It sure looks stock but I've never seen a 722 other than plain jane, with fancier wood and checkering.
Since 1950 introduced the.222 rem, could there have been such a fancy stock for marketing purposes?
I'm wondering if it was restocked with a rem 700 stock somewhere along the line?
Can't take pics in the gunshop, so no photo available.
Thanks, Joe

If it's actually a 722, it sounds like someone put a 725 stock on it to dress it up. I assume that the 725 was produced in both long and short actions.

Or it could be custom. porsche1600 (Larry Root) is sending OP a PM, so don't ya know, it'll be taken care of, for sure. But OP's new to the Fire, no clue about ole Larry or his many handles. Welcome to the Fire, Raritan. Beware of wolf in sheep attire... DF

Too funny, porche1600s sounds like a Craigslist escort handle!

My M-725 does not have white-line spacers. They were produced in both long and short actions. Sounds like it got re-stocked to me.

Beware that charlatan poser Porsche1660. He's been banned here multiple times. He's a crook and a liar.

725's did not have a black forend cap. If it's a 700 BDL stock, the checkering pattern will certainly go a long way in helping to confirm....

I saw a dressed up Fajen stock on a 722, maybe that is what you have.

No 722's or 721's came from the factory with black forend tips. The black forends didn't come into play until the 700 BDL's in ' 62.
The 721 (long action) and 722 (short action) never had black forend tips. Even the 721/722 "B's" had the normal stock with upgraded wood and checkering but no black forend tips.
725's, both short and long actions, had checkering but didn't have black forend tips either.

Waiting for a call from the shop gunsmith as to integrity of the firing pin and extractor. May be looking for an old 722 stock, have a nice steel tube weaver K10 that would be period....though a nice 12x and DNZ mounts would be the preference..getting too far ahead of myself....
Thanks for your quick responses,
will keep you posted
Joe

I have this K-8, pictured mounted on a CZ Hornet rifle. It spent almost a year at Ironsight in FL, being cleaned and serviced. Cost about what the scope is worth. I'm not using it and would make someone a good deal for a great vintage scope. Those old scopes track really well and the A/O works great. This one was on a 722, .222 for many years; a lot of stuff killed with that rig. DF
