AWA Lightning

Notes: This is a modern reproduction of the Colt Lightning pump-action rifle. A real vintage Colt Lightning can cost you a pretty penny, if you can find one, but the reproductions made by AWA (American Western Arms) are reasonable in price and in far less fragile condition than the originals. The AWA Lightning is made by using a combination of modern manufacturing methods (such as laser boresighting) and old-style methods (such as color casehardening). The result is a rather beautiful and well-shooting replica. Stocks are of various grades, but all use a straight-wrist stock.

The Lightning comes in several versions and grades. The Standard Edition Comes in a Rifle (with a 24-inch barrel) and a Carbine (with a 20-inch barrel). Stocks are of American Walnut, the metalwork is of steel, and the receiver has a simple engraving of the AWA company logo. The rear sight is a semi-buckhorn sight adjustable for elevation, and the front sight is a brass blade. Finish of the metalwork is polished blue.

The CCH Lightning, also available in a rifle or carbine, is essentially identical to the Standard Edition for game purposes. The CCH is finished in polished blue, except for the receiver, which is color-case hardened. The stock is of somewhat better LE American Walnut. The White Lightning is also identical to the Standard Edition for game purposes; however, the metalwork is hard-chrome plated bright. The stock is of LE American Walnut which is checkered on the wrist and pump slide. The front sight is German silver instead of brass.

The Limited Edition Lightning is a rare item – only 500 were built, and by the time of this writing (21 Dec 07), AWA had only 40 remaining in stock. As with the other Lightnings, the Limited Edition comes in carbine and rifle versions, but the receiver is beautifully engraved with the AWA logo as well as a stagecoach scene; it is also hard-chromed. The barrel and magazine are polished blue, and the trigger and hammer are also hard-chromed. The stock is of high-grade American Walnut, checkered on the wrist and pump slide. The rear sight is the standard semi-buckhorn, but fully adjustable, and the front sight is a silver bead instead of a blade. Again, this is identical to the Standard Edition for game purposes, though in real life AWA is selling them for $1200 apiece.

The Lightningbolt Handgun is a special case – it is essentially a Standard Edition Lightning abbreviated into a handgun, though it is included here for completeness. The Lightningbolt (used by Steve McQueen in the TV Series Wanted – Dead or Alive, and called the "Mare’s Leg" in that show). Has a stock almost completely sawed off to the wrist, an abbreviated 12-inch barrel and magazine, and is available from AWA in polished blue, color-case hardened, hard-chromed, or Nickel (polished, brushed, or matte) finishes. The standard sights remain (with the front blade moved back, of course). The Lightningbolt may be found in Standard, CCH, and White Lightningbolt versions. All are identical for game purposes.

Marlin 18 Series

Notes: This ancient pump-action rifle is a turn-of-the-20th-century design that proved to be exceptionally hardy. The Marlin 18 was designed in the early 20th century specifically to compete with the highly-successful Winchester Model 1890, and also to take some of the market away from the rimfire versions of the Winchester Model 1892 lever-action rifle. Designed by Lewis Hepburn (then a new designer at Marlin), the Marlin 18 was introduced to the public in 1906 catalogs. It achieved pretty decent sales, but could still not match the popularity of the Winchester 1890 initially; however, it was in production for a much longer period. Many early production examples of the Model 18 series are still quite serviceable today.

The toughness of the Model 18 series is partially due to its solid frame and receiver top, and heavy octagonal barrel. The stock is a simple straight-wrist hardwood design, with the pump slide also being of (non-ribbed) tough hardwood. The barrel of the Model 18 was 20 inches long, and aimed using a spring-leaf and elevator adjustable rear sight and a bead front sight. While a Model 18 could fire .22 Short and .22 Long Rifle, this required replacement of the tubular magazine; one could not fire both cartridges from the magazine tube, though the rest of the Model 18 required no alteration. The magazine tubes themselves were also loaded in a little-used method for tubular-magazine weapons; instead of using a loading gate, they were loaded by pulling the pump slide all the way back past its detents, removing the front of the magazine tube to access the front, sliding back the magazine sleeve, then opening the front of the tube itself enough to put rounds into it. A "takedown" version, with an easily-removable buttstock, was also made, but aside from this feature is identical to the standard Model 18 for game purposes. The Model 18 itself was produced from 1906-08. It should be noted that the Model 18 was commonly referred to as the "Baby Featherweight Repeater."

The Model 20 inherited the Model 18’s mantle, and the basic Model 20 was built from 1907-11. Quite similar to the Model 18 both externally and internally, the Model 20 had a barrel lengthened to 24 inches. The stock was the same, but the pump lever was ribbed for a better grasp. The standard tubular magazine was of half-length, though a full-length magazine was an option. The Model 20 could also fire .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle interchangeably, though the loading system was similar with the exception of the lack of a tubular magazine sleeve. The Model 20S replaced the Model 20 in production; it was essentially a Model 20 with an improved locking system and, for game purposes, identical to the Model 20. The Model 20S was replaced in turn by the Model 20A (also known as the Model 20AS); this version further improved the locking system by switching to a short locking bar, which in turn reduced the size of the locking shoulder and also eliminated the possibility of getting a black eye when one was aiming repeated shots and long Model 20 locking bar and locking shoulder hit them in the eye or cheek when the pump slide was cycled. The barrel length was reduced to 22.5 inches, and the standard version used a half-length magazine (though again, a full-length magazine was an option). Production of the Model 20A went from 1913-22. The Model 47 was essentially the same as the Model 27A, but used an exposed hammer, improved-reliability feeding system and magazine (again in half-length and full-length versions), and a checkered wrist and pump slide. They were in production only from 1930-31, and are otherwise the same as the Model 20A for game purposes.

A further variant of the Model 20 was the Model 25 Gallery Gun; an unusual version designed for indoor shooting by inexperienced shooters, it was produced only from 1909-10. The Model 25 fired only the low power .22 Short or even-lower power .22 CB Cap cartridges, using the same strange loading system of the Model 20. The barrel was a 23-inch round barrel, it used a half-length magazine, and had an exposed hammer, but was otherwise identical to the Model 20. The Model 25S was virtually identical to the Model 25, but used a short locking bar and collar. It was produced from 1911-14, and is identical to the Model 25 for game purposes.

The Model 27 was essentially a larger-caliber version of the Model 20. Though primarily designed for small-caliber centerfire cartridges, a version was also designed to fire the now-obsolete .25 Long rimfire round. It used the "takedown" removable buttstock, and had an exposed hammer. The Model 27 retained the 24-inch octagonal barrel (sized for the larger cartridges), with a strengthened receiver. The original Model 27 was built from 1909-11. It was replaced by the Model 27S, which had a modified safety system allowing the action to be opened while the hammer remained locked. It too was originally built with an octagonal barrel, but in 1913 round barrels were introduced as an option. (Model 27Ss with octagonal barrels are the same as standard Model 27s for game purposes.) Production stopped in favor of wartime production in 1916, and did not pick up again until 1922. After World War 1, only round-barrel versions of the Model 27S were built. Production of the Model 27S stopped in 1932. Also in 1913, the Model 29 version began production; this was available only with a 23-inch round barrel, a half-length magazine, and a smooth pump slide. It was otherwise essentially a Model 27S. Production stopped in 1917 in favor of wartime projects, but the Model 29 was re-introduced in 1923, re-named as the Model 37, and production continued this time until 1931. The Model 37 is the same as the Model 29S for game purposes.

Remington 6

Notes: Pump-action is a rather uncommon operating system for a rifle; though it works quite well in shotguns, but tends to result in extraction failures when using necked cartridges. The Remington 6 is one of the few successful pump-action rifles using necked cartridges, and even it can be a bit picky, reliably cycling with cartridges from one manufacturer, but not from another. Other than the pump-action feature, it is otherwise a normal hunting rifle.

Remington 12

Notes: This first pump-action Remington was designed by John Pederson. It is a straightforward design with no pistol grip and is a takedown design. Variants include the Remington 12B Gallery rifle, with an octagonal barrel and chambered only for .22 Short; the Model 12C NRA Target Grade rifle, with a 24-inch octagonal barrel; and the Model 12CS, a weapon built in small numbers.

Notes: This updated form of the Remington 12 was a compact and slender design despite the long barrel length. The weapon is otherwise a simple pump-action weapon, though several different grades of finish and woods were available. Variants included the Model 121S, firing .22 Remington Auto.

Remington 572 Fieldmaster

Notes: First introduced as the Model 572A Fieldmaster in 1959, the Model 572 is a pump-action rimfire rifle with a walnut stock and fore-end. The Model 572A is a much-modernized version of the old Model 121; and features a slab-sided receiver (a rare sort of construction for lever-action rifles at the time), and used side-ejection, allowing the rifle to be grooved for a scope mount. The Model 572A used a crossbolt safety, and a straight-comb stock with a generous pistol grip wrist. The Model 572 is fed by a tubular magazine which may contain .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle rounds – interchangeably. The rear sight is a robust leaf sight adjustable for height and windage. The stock is polished to a high sheen, and there is checkering in the pistol grip wrist. The top of the receiver has a rail for the mounting of a telescopic sight. The barrel is 23 inches long, and it was produced until 1966.

The Model 572BT Lightweight appeared in 1958, and was produced until 1962. It is similar in appearance to the Model 572A, but uses a light alloy frame and barrel sleeve, both in a color called by Remington "Buckskin Tan." The magazine, lever, and trigger were chromed, and the stock and slide are of light-stained walnut. The rifle was very light and handy, but the alloy parts wore quickly and production was stopped. A variant of this rifle, the Model 572CWB Lightweight, was identical except that the frame and barrel sleeve were in a color called "Crown Wing Black." The Model 572TWB was also identical to the 572BT except for the color (Teal Wing Blue"). They were produced concurrently with the Model 572BT and suffered from the same durability issues.

The Model 572 Sesquicentennial was built only 1966 in small numbers; it was a limited edition to celebrate Remington’s 150th anniversary, and has special engraving on the receiver. It is identical to the Model 572A for game purposes. The last model, the Model 572BDL, was introduced in 1966, and is a slightly more deluxe version of the Model 572. It is also identical to the Model 572A for game purposes, and was built until 1992.

Remington 760 Gamemaster

Notes: This rifle was intended to replace the Model 141. It looks similar to the Model 740A, except for the operating slide, but it is internally, of course, very different.

Remington 7600

Notes: This is basically a Remington 870P shotgun turned into a rifle. The Remington 7600, in its base form, is a pump-action magazine-fed rifle designed for several calibers and has a 22-inch barrel. The Model 7600P has a walnut stock and fore-end, steel metalwork, Williams ramp sights, and is drilled and tapped for a scope. The pistol grip wrist and the slide bar are both hand-checkered. It was introduced in 1984.Variants include the Model Six, which is a deluxe version of the 7600 with fine fish-scale checkering instead of the normal checkering of the pistol grip and slide bar, a finer grade of walnut, and an inlaid cartridge case cap on the bottom of the mechanism housing which indicates the chambering of the weapon. (This is identical to the Model 7600 for game purposes.) The Remington 7600 Carbine has a chopped 18.5-inch barrel and is chambered only in .30-06; it appeared in 1987. The Model 7600 Jubilee Edition appeared in 1991, to commemorate Remington’s 175th birthday; it is a high deluxe model with fine walnut for the stock and fore-end, an engraved receiver with gold inlay, and chambered only in .30-06. (A virtually identical version was issued in 1996 for the company’s 180th birthday.) In 1998, the Remington 7600 Synthetic was introduced, with synthetic stock and fore-end; the weight is the same as the standard Model 7600, so it shoots the same for game purposes, but the price is slightly different, and it is not available in 6mm Remington or .35 Whelan chamberings. (The .280 Remington chambering was also dropped in 2001.) A further variant of the Model 7600 Synthetic is the Model 7600 Synthetic Carbine; this model has an 18.5-inch barrel and is chambered only for .30-06 Springfield. Again, the weight is the same as the standard Model 7600 Carbine, but the price is slightly different.

The Model 7600P Patrol Rifle is a special version of the Model 7600 designed specifically for police departments. This was done to allow commonality of training – a lot of US police departments use the 870P, and anyone familiar with the 870P is able to easily use the 7600P. The rifle also allows greater range and penetration than a shotgun slug. The Model 7600P has an R3 recoil pad on the butt, and has a short 16-inch barrel. (Trivia note: the "P" in both cases stands for "Parkerized," and not "Pump," or "Patrol" as many believe.)

The Model 7615P is a modification of the Model 7600P; it is basically a 7600P which is chambered for 5.56mm NATO and fed by high-capacity box magazines. The Model 7615P also has a synthetic stock, a Wilson Combat ghost ring rear sight and XS Sight Systems white-dot high-visibility front sight, and an R3 ‘jelly style" recoil pad on the butt.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Model 7600P and 7615P do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline. The Synthetic models also do not exist.

Merc 2000 Notes: These weapons do exist, though most police officers have chosen weapons that offer greater firepower.
