Centurion 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum

The 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum is back!

5Mmpromofr-1

The 5mm Rem Magnum was originally produced from 1970 to 1974. Only a few firearms where chambered in it. The bolt action Remington Model 591 and Model 592 where chambered in it and Thompson Center Arms offered it for a brief period of time.

In comparison the 30 gr .22 Magnum (WMR) traveling at 2,200 ft/s generates 322 ft/lb of energy.

For those who held onto their Remington 5mm Rimfire rifles in hopes that someone, someday, would revive this fine cartridge, their prayers have been answered in the Centurion made 5mm Remington. For those of you who wished for a new generation of 5mm rifles and handguns, your day is at hand. There can be little doubt that the reintroduction of this cartridge will produce a new line of firearms to augment the original Remington rifles that might be in a shooter’s rack. And with current powder technology, better bullets and a better understanding of internal ballistics, there is yet, more to come! Future development of newer, higher performance Centurion 5mm Remington ammunition is already underway! The future indeed looks bright for this old veteran cartridge…

UPDATE:

THe ammo should be available after SHOT Show. According to an bayouboy @ RFC Aguila said:

OUR WEB SITE IS DOWN FOR UPDATING, THE AMMUNITION IS BEING SHIPPED THIS WEEK
AND WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE SHOT SHOW, PLEASE CHECK BACK WITH US, THANKS
FOR YOUR INTEREST.

    My dad collects the old 5mm ammo. Maybe I’d better send him this link, huh? Might be time to unload some of the old ammo. But he’s also got a couple of rifles in this caliber, so maybe it’ll be good news.

    The rep at the Aguila/Centurion booth did say that it will be out next week.

    I posted a bit and a pic here.

    I was so excited to hear this news. I have a few boxes but haven’t spent much time out shooting with it yet. Anyone else tested it?

    I bought this fine Remington back in the 70s and wanted to sue Remington when they dropped it and vowed I would never buy a remington or rimfire again! This was my squirrel hunting baby! And now it’s going to get a new pair of shoes! G. Poling- Ohio
    . Hooray for the ammo maker that brought it back and the heck with Remington.
