Need help with Remington bullet knife repair

mucmuc · Post by **mucmuc** » Mon May 21, 2012 4:26 pm

I have a 50' bullet knife (I think Remington) that has been in the family for 60 years. A part (the locking part) of the lever that locks and unlocks the blad broke off. Can anyone tell me who or how I can get this repaired? Many Thanks.

I tried to attach picture, but it did not work...the upload progression bar does not progress. The picture is <1MB

Hello,
Make sure it is in .jpg format. Pictures will help get your question answered.

I would love to post the pictures...I have JPEG format, and I follow the "upload attachment" - "browse" and "add the file" path. However, no luck

I found a "how to" as well and followed it...no luck...
Maybe I can e-mail the pictures to admin...?

Remington didn't make any Bullet knives in the 50's or 40's. They were producing them in the 30's however, and if infact you have an orginal Remington Bullet I can probably either provide the part you need or install it for you. I'll send you my email address in a pm if you want to share a photo of the knife .

Mucmuc does indeed have an authentic Remington Bullet 1306 with a broken backspring. I feel sure I have some, I'll make sure later today.

RC, I have an original Rem 1123 in good condition if it's anything you are interested in.

RC, did you have a chance to check if you have the part?

I had to do some digging, but I came up with one. Send me an PM and we can discuss.

I need a backspring for a R1306 Remington Bullet knife. I would like to hear from anyone with blades for old Bullet knives. Please email: [email protected]

Remington Collector: I need a backspring for a R1306 Remington Bullet knife made in the 1930 era. I would pay top dollar. Thanks.

I'll dig around some more this weekend and see if I can find another one.

Thanks Remington Collector. I also need a muskrat blade for a 1930's Remington R4353 Bullet pocket knife. Thanks again, I really appreciate your help.

Wishful do you still have your R1123 Bullet knife? If so, what is your price? Thanks.

specializedrider · Post by **specializedrider** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 12:54 pm

mucmuc would you want to sell your R1306 Bullet knife? Let me know if you are interested in selling. Thanks.

mucmuc · Post by **mucmuc** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 2:29 pm

Specializedrider,
Thank you for asking, but it is a family keepsake, and I am not considering selling it.

mucmuc
Thanks for letting me know. I also have a R1306 and like yours it needs a backspring. If you have any knowledge of someone that has a good backspring, please let me know. Have a great day.

Specializedrider,
Look at some earlier correspondence in this thread. I got my spring from Remington Collector. Perhaps he has another one for you. I am having a hard time finding someone who can do the repair work though. I would appreciate if anyone here knew a reputable repair shop. Perhaps a member of AAPK even?

I would install the backspring for you. I have installed many backsprings and blades for over 20 years. If you are interested, let me know. Would you care to tell me how much you had to pay for your backspring? Thanks.

specializedrider · Post by **specializedrider** » Mon Jun 11, 2012 4:35 am

Remington Collector,
Did you happen to find another R1306 backspring or a muskrat blade for a R4353? If you know anyone that might have good used blades for the old Bullet knives, I would certainly appreciate the information. Thanks.

Save the pic as a j-peg not bitemap and it will.

They where out of business in 1940.

Someone out there surely has a good used backspring for a vintage R1306 Remington Bullet pocket knife. I would even buy a junk knife if it has a good backspring. I also need a good used muskrat blade for a vintage R4353 Bullet knife.
