5mm Remington (Magnum)

[HERMIT]

Does anyone remember what happened to the 5mm Remington(Magnum)?

 

[K-22hornet.]

I have had mine since about 1969, with 199 factory rounds left.

Overall, good performance for a rimfire. I shot lot's of stuff with it.

By about 1974, Remington stopped production of them, most likely due to slow sales.

There is a rimfire-to-centerfire conversion kit available, known as the 5mm Craig.
