Remington Fieldmaster Model 572 Description: Remington Fieldmaster BDL Model 572.22 Caliber. 22 Short, 22 Long and 22 Long Rifle. 15 Round Pump Action. Very clean.like new. Packaging and shiping not included. SOLD Rifle Caliber.22 Long Rifle Manufacturer: Remington Model: 572 Serial Number: B1597392 Barrel Length: 21.5 Condition: Very. Stamped on the side of my 572 is a diamond shape then 'XY' then just below it and slightly to the right '78'. According to the remington date codes, xy would be december 1930, which is not correct since they didnt start making the 572 fieldmaster until 1955. I does have a serial number stamped into the receiver so i know its after 1967 and would assume its 1978 except someone posted that a code of showing 78 was made in 77. I think confused is an understatement.

The Remington Model 572 Fieldmaster is a slide action, manually-operated .22 caliber (rimfire) rifle manufactured by Remington Arms Company. First introduced to the commercial market in 1956, the 572 Fieldmaster rifle incorporates a tubular magazine capable of feeding .22 Short, .22 Long, or .22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridges, a cross-bolt safety, and an aluminum receiver grooved for scope mounts.^[2] The original Fieldmaster used a 22.75-inch barrel.^[4] The Model 572 uses many of the design features first introduced on the Remington Model 870 shotgun, and replaced the Model 121 Fieldmaster as the company's slide-action rimfire repeater.^[1]

Variants[edit]

Model 572A Fieldmaster

Introduced in 1956 as well, the 572A featured a 22.75 in (57.8 cm) barrel, an uncheckered hardwood pistol-grip stock and a grooved forearm. It was discontinued in 1988.^[3]

Model 572SB

Introduced in 1961 the 572 SmoothBore (Garden Gun) had the same specs as the Model 572A except with a smoothbore barrel. It was discontinued in 1979.^[3]

Model 572 BDL

In 1966, Remington introduced the BDL or 'Deluxe' rifle to supplement the 572A and 572SB. The BDL featured a ramp front sight with gold bead, a fully adjustable rear sight modeled after the sight used on Remington 700 big-game rifle, and a higher-grade walnut forearm and straight-comb butt stock with impressed checkering. In 1991, the walnut butt stock of the BDL Deluxe version was altered to incorporate a Monte Carlo comb to improve cheek weld when using the rifle with a telescopic sight, and the impressed checkering was altered to machine-cut checkering.^[5] In 2017, after complaints that the high Monte Carlo comb made the rifle difficult to use with open sights, Remington returned to a straight comb butt stock design for current production BDL rifles.^[6] The BDL is the only 572 model currently in production.^[7][8]
