Was over to the gunshow and spied a rifle that looked like a Remington m12 pump but on closer exam proved out to be M25 in 25-20 win . For a 90 year old it has 75/80% condition and a bright bore. Date code says March of 1932. Just the factory irons on it for sights. Got a few loads with it and will go back in the morning to see if I can find more ammo. Anybody have some experience with these?

You my friend are a lucky dog. Those things are too much fun by half.

It's like carrying and handling a high quality 22 pump rifle. I am sure it will be around for awhile..mb

According to what I read they made 31,800 total m25's between 1922 to 1937 the code on this one indicates a born on March 1932 date...mb

I had one, killed a few coyotes with it, 60g Hornady flat point with some speed. Fun gun to shoot for sure!
