Anybody heard of a Remington 612 ?

MartyS
I am trying to find out the story behind a Remington Model 612-P. Its a .22 with tubular mag and peep sight. (Is that why the "P" after 612?) Its not in any books that I've seen. I called Remington and all they said was only a few were made in the early 40s but they were not intended for sale. I've been playing phone tag with their historian, so thought maybe someone here could shed some light or tell me where to go. (No, I've already been there and didn't like it, so came back.[;)]) I don't know how or when my dad bought it. All I know is it was the rifle he taught me with as a kid in the 50s.

I am interested in what "not for sale" means. Why were they made? Is there anything special about them? What was supposed to be done with them? How much is it worth now?

    MartyS,

    Are you sure it isn't 512-P? I can not find a 612-P anywhere.

    If it is 512-P, according to the 24th ed. of the Blue book of Gun Values, The were manufactured between 1940 and 1962. No serial numbers until 1954. Approxamately 395,00 were made. Value ranges from $85 to $200 depending on condition.
