Designed by legendary firearm engineer John Pedersen, the Model 12C variant was introduced in 1910 as an upgraded target/field rifle to compete with exposed-hammer Winchester models. The 1920s represents the height of its production run.  Core History & Design Design Mastermind: Engineered by John Pedersen (with refinements by G.H. Garrison and C.C. Loomis), the Model 12 series was Remington's premier hammerless .22, produced from 1909 to 1936.  The "C" Variant: The 12C was built as a "Target" rifle featuring an adjustable rear sight, a distinct semi-pistol grip (sometimes called the "Tootsie Roll" fore-end), and a crescent steel buttplate.  Cartridge Versatility: The classic 12C was uniquely versatile, engineered to safely chamber .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle (LR) interchangeably through its tubular magazine.  Durability: The solid-top receiver and side-ejection port were highly praised for sealing the action against dirt, debris, and moisture. [1, 2] Production & Collectibility Production Run: Over 832,000 units were manufactured across all variations. The 1920s saw some of the highest single-year production numbers, peaking with roughly 85,500 units in 1920 alone.  Current Value: Used Remington Model 12C rifles generally trade in the $400 to $900 range depending on condition, bore wear, and the presence of original sights.  The serial number (or the two-letter code on the left side of the barrel near the receiver) What kind of sights are currently on the rifle The barrel shape (Round vs. Octagonal) Specifications The Remington Model 12C is a hammerless, take-down, pump-action .22 caliber rifle introduced in 1909. The "C" designation represents the Target Grade model, which features a longer 24-inch barrel and target-style sights designed for exceptional accuracy and classic "gallery-style" shooting.  General Specifications Manufacturer: Remington Arms Company (Ilion, NY) Production Years: 1909 to 1936 (The "C" Target Grade was introduced around 1910) Designer: John D.
