The Sixes are hard to find. I've been told Rem only made 1000 of them. Good Luck. Wx permitting I'll take a few close ups tomorrow.

Here is the Remington page on them. No production numbers are given.

According to Eugene Myszkowski's book, Remington Autoloading & Pump-Action Rifles, Remington's production numbers for the Model 6 totaled 36,236 which included three engraved models.

The breakdown by caliber: '06/50.2%, 270/29%, 243/10.3%, 308/7.6%, 6mm/2.9%.

Jerry-that 6mm you have is, indeed, one of just a tad over 1000.
