Remington was able to shave 1 pound from the total weight of the M572A by using aluminium to manufacture the receiver, trigger guard, buttplate, and barrel (although the barrel incorporated a steel insert).
Ī lightweight version known as the Remington Model 572 Fieldmaster was introduced in 1957. This allows the top of the receiver to be grooved for scope mounting and keeps spent brass from hitting the shooter's face. Weighing in at 5 lbs., the rifle is a "hammerless" style, meaning the hammer is contained within the action and ejection is through the side. The Remington 572 was introduced in 1954 as a successor to the Remington Model 121 as the M572A having the look and feel of the Remington 870 shotgun. It is popular with "plinkers" and collectors both, along with being a good small game, or "camp" rifle. The longevity of manufacture speaks well of the popularity and durability of the action, and the overall reliability of this gun. Ammunition is supplied by a tubular magazine under the barrel which holds 15-22 rounds depending on the cartridge used. The 572 is noted for its similarity to the Remington 870 shotgun in design. The Remington Model 572 Fieldmaster is a manually-operated, slide-action rimfire repeating rifle manufactured by the Remington Arms Company.
