Metric designation for .35 Remington
Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 10:41 pm
Don't know if you will think this an odd first post or not. To date I haven't been able to buy Henline's book which could answer this question. I glanced at the link to the FN 1900 outtake and it only raised more questions. Here is the question, sort of.
I have always had the idea that the FN 1900 production pre-dated the Remington Model 8, at least in .35 Remington. From the short outtake from Henline it would seem the FN 1900 in .35 Remington was not introduced until 1911. Is that correct?
Now the real question. If the .35 was the first introduced cartridge for the series, Remington and FN, was it originally in the Remington in 1906, or the FN at an earlier date? Does anyone have any idea what the actual Metric designation for the .35 Remington is/was? I spent a couple of hours one night trying to answer this on the internet but was unable to resolve the question. If anyone knows or has a link to a reference, please, no guesses, I would really appreciate it.
