Hello,
I have a Rem 725 that is different than all the other 725's I have seen pictures of. S/N 7076xx, barrel code DE, 36-06, 21" barrel, no grip cap,no sites on barrel, and small two position safety lever instead of the larger three position safety. Also it has a blind magazine with no metal bottom plate. Is this unusual ?
I need a forward trigger guard screw and the nut plate it screws into. I would appreciate any help you might give me with this.
Thank You, Bryan B.

Re: Different Model 725
You mention pictures that you have seen of 725s but don't post pictures of yours. It sure would help if you can.

Re: Different Model 725
Hello again,
I am back with some photo's of my " Different Model 725". AS you can see it has a two position safety, 21" barrel, no iron sights, no grip cap, and a blind magazine, no magazine bottom metal. All the other 725's I have seen have a three position safety, iron sights, a grip cap, hinged floor plate and most appear to have longer barrels. How unusual is this ? I bought it used at a small gun shop in northern Minnesota. My son Matt shot his first deer with it a few years ago.
It is a nice rifle, but did not know a thing about it, or if it might be collectible until I found your web site. I need a front trigger guard screw and the nut plate it screws into. Any info is appreciated.
Thank You ! Bryan B.

Re: Different Model 725
What you've got is a gun that was rebuilt or put together with spare parts.
The bolt handle is not completely visible, but it appears to be a 725 bolt.....along with the action.
The stock is from an ADL model 700 from the '60's......1962 - 68.
There are no close-ups of the barrel to see if it has any Remington info impressed in it, but there were some "carbine-length" barrels (shorter than 22" or 24") available in the '60's. If it has no Remington information impressed in it, it is possibly from another barrel maker. (the information may be hidden by the stock if it didn't line up as intended when they headspaced it)
The safety is from the late '60's. Before the safeties with the round knob, they had vertical flat ones......which were easier to move on and off safety, but potentially more prone to hang up on clothing.
To check the actual barrel length, you need to measure from the pressure relief hole in the right side of the front of the action to the end of the barrel. It could be that it's actually a standard 22" barrel.
