She does now... ....nice trio..BTW.


Hey Dimitri....I didn't realize that they made a wood scaled 65-69. ....in Parkers book it only gives a price on delrin & redbone.

[RandyFew]

So---Now that it has been established that the blades are configured properly, except for the bail, what is not right about this knife?
Randy.

[johnnierotten]

Remington made 3 different patterns of 3 bladed scout knives....2 with the pattern #4783 and one with the pattern #4773.
Difference in the 3 are....the 4773 has no shackle...the 4783's differ by blade configuration and also master blade width.

Whats wrong is.. "PA knives" 4783 was put back together in the wrong blade configuration. .

[RandyFew]

In addition to not haven't a bail, the 4773 is a small frame knife, like the Girl Scout. I like it best of all the Remington scouts that I've seen.

[RandyFew]

I think that the knife is right, except for the bail.
It looks to me like the bolsters have been filled in where the removable bail was.

[RandyFew]

For reference from left to right-

RS3333
RS4233
RS4233 W/Pinched bolsters
RS(GS)4373
RS4773 Needs a blade in a bad way

[johnnierotten]

Randy....I don't think that your seeing the whole picture here.......the top pic is the knife that He sent to have a spring replaced...the bottom pic shows the knife when He received it from the repair.
Remington made 2 different configured 4783's...they each had different width master blades also. Your 4783's have the slimmer master blade while PA's has the fatter one.
I too did not realize that they made 2 different 4783's until Dimitri wrote about it in his post.....I did some research..and sure enough they did.

[RandyFew]

Now I'm totally confused!

[Miller Bro's]

Now I'm totally confused!

, Now I am going to confuse you some more

Remington made 2 different configured 4783's...they each had different width master blades also. Your 4783's have the slimmer master blade while PA's has the fatter one.

The RS4773 is 3 3/8" long closed was made between 1928-1932, it had the slim spear blade, no belt shackle.

The (2) variations of the RS4783 were made between 1934-1939 are 3 1/2" long, removable bail, both variations had the same size spear blade which is the larger size than the 4773.

[RandyFew]

Dimitri,
I was already confused enough! But you can make it up to me by sending me a new blade for my 4773.

[Miller Bro's]

Randy,

If I can find one I will gladly send it your way

Did you ask Mark (Knife-Nut) if he has one

[johnnierotten]

Sorry Bro...that’s about the best that I can explain it.
It was easier for me once I realized that they made 2 different 4783's.
This may help...

[RandyFew]

Dimitri and JR,
I appreciate, but I was just teasing Dimitri. If a blade shows up at a price that I can stand, I will buy it.
Thanks,
Randy

Glad to see that this Remington Scout generated some discussion and opprotunity for us all to learn something. I think you did a great job of sorting it out Johnnierotten.
