D Thanks for the info. I got a bit further (was unfamilliar with waybackmachine and didn't know to begin there) but couldn't bring up the videos. I did however find a couple on the web that got me through the disassembly. the acetone with 0000 steel wool (not 000 like I mentioned earlier) worked like a champ. It cleaned up very nicely for a nearly 100 year old firearm. There are a number of small dings and a couple of fairly deep scratches but that's to be expected. The only disappointment was finding a "R" stamped on the front handguard. Without disassembling the bolt, everything else seems to be Eddystone. If anyone has an Eddystone front handguard they are willing to trade for a Remmington please let me know. I did find the remains of a cartouche. It looks like "?" A - 1 in a rectangular box. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for all your help. RB
