1948 Remington Model 241 Speedmaster .22LR 24" Takedown Semi Automatic Rifle
Our Assessment: This a Remington Model 241 Speedmaster rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It is a vintage rimfire semi-auto rifle made by Remington on the Browning patent and is very similar to the Browning Model SA-22. The rifles were made from 1935 to 1951, replacing the earlier Model 24. With its bottom eject design, this a somewhat unusual rifle, but is great, especially for left-handed shooters and would be an all-around fun plinker for just about anyone. This one looks great and paired with the charming and affordable .22LR caliber would be a great addition to any collection. Please see our photos and good luck!
