Remington Model 30R Express
Remington Model 30R Express
Looking for a little insight on my Model 30. Manufacture date is 27 but it has the initials PSP D29 stated in the right side of the butt stock. I would imagine that this is not from the factory. Has anyone heard of these or other rifles being stamped this way. I'm thinking maybe it's an armory or prison marking. any thoughts on the subject are very appreciated. thanks in advance
Re: Remington Model 30R Express
I have a database on model 30s and record three carbines that belonged to the Pennsylvania State Police. The ones on my record were June and July, 1927 production. If your serial was close, I think we could assume yours might be one of these police guns.

REMINGTON 30 EXPRESS NOW MADE IN CARBINE FORM
The Remington Model 30 Express Carbine is the latest type of arm to be added to the extensive line of Remington Sporting firearms. This new rifle has just been announced, although it is already on record that the Pennsylvania State Constabulary have officially adopted this arm and purchased several hundred of the carbines for its members.
The Carbine is ideal for mounted work, because of its compactness, light weight, length and convenience in carrying and handling. The mounted trooper carries the Carbine in a scabbard, attached to a saddle, where it is conveniently placed to enable the trooper to get into action quickly.
The Remington Carbines used by the Pennsylvania State Police are adapted for the .30-06 cartridge. Incidentally, the Remington Model 30 Express Carbine was not selected as the official arm of the Pennsylvania Constabulary until after a thorough test had been made of all arms of this type.
The new Carbine is also a good sporting rifle. The modern sportsman prefers a light but powerful rifle, and many Carbines are now in use. This Carbine weighs only 7 pounds, is 40 3/4 inches overall and has a 20-inch round barrel of the best ordnance steel; it has shotgun style butt-plate, horizontally grooved to prevent slipping from the shoulder. The fore-stock is not checkered but is grooved to afford a good grip. Like the Model 30 Express Rifle the Carbine is furnished in .25, .30, 32 and .35 Remington, and .30-06 calibers.
The sportsman who prefers a light, powerful sporting rifle of the bolt action type will find this new Remington a good arm. The price is $42.15.
