This "From the Vault" video from Brownells features a rare Remington Model 16 autoloading rifle chambered in .22 Remington Automatic. Gunsmiths Steve Ostrem and Keith Ford showcase the rifle's exquisite blued-steel and wood construction, slim receiver, and unique stock-loaded magazine. They discuss the proprietary .22 Rem Auto cartridge, designed to prevent the use of black powder ammunition in early autoloaders, and compare it to the Winchester Model 1903. The video highlights the rifle's elegant takedown mechanism, checkered walnut stock, and engraved receiver, noting its limited production run from 1914 to 1928. The condition of the rifle is attributed to the smokeless powder of its specialized ammunition.
