Remington Mo. 121 smooth-bores
I am interested in smooth bore rifles (.22 cal.) and am familiar with the 5 variations ofa the Winchester Mo. 61s (I own a pre-war Win. Counter-bore). I have recently purchased a Rem. Mo. 121 Mo-Skeet-o Bore and have been offered several more. What are the different variations of the Mo. 121? I understand there were 4?? I also have heard that the Mo-Skeet-o bore rifle was not a catalog item but special order only. Is this true?? The Mo-Skeet-o bore seems to be a Routledge bore but without the Routledge inscription on the barrel.

I owned a 121 Rem smoothbore that was marked Routledge. 0 -
There is the 121,121SB and 121S. 0 -
I'm doing this from memory, so some of you guys cut me some slack. There were three different smoothbores.
There is a Routledge that was a special order. The Mo-Skeet-O falls in this slot. 121A's
Standard smooth bore. 121SB
Loewi bore that was opened up for skeet. 121 Skeet? (skeetrap) Rifle
Remington marked rifles as Rouledge and as Mo-Skeet-O. They were the same bore. The Mo was sold over the counter, where as Rout was a special order from the factory. Quanities of which ones were produced is a question. Maybe Roy Marcot will answer a bunch of questions that Remington 22 collectors have when his new book comes out soon.
The 121S is a 22 Remington Special (W.R.F.) and not a smooth bore.
This is my edit. After checking my list I don't have a Mo-Skeet-O in my collection. If you get more send me an e-mail.
