Remington 552-GS "Gallery Special". This was described as 90%, but it is more like 95%! There was less than 100 rounds worth of residue in the action when I cleaned it. That's a counter tie down attachment on the front hanger.
These aren't even listed in the BB. The Remington authority and book author, John Gyde, told me that no more than 5% of the production, from 1958-1972, were Gallery Specials.....and he was only guessing. This one dates to 2/58. I feel like a kid again, but can only remember 1 gallery as a kid, in Upstate NY. I can't wait for the weekend!

Brings back memories of the fair coming to town in the fall. I want one!

There's something about snagging a neat gun that has had a low production rate. It makes it a "keeper" because you know you're never going to find another, especially one in that condition!
You done good but I have a little information for you.In addition to the shooting gallery that you need, you are also going to need some of this! Take your choice--29 gr lead bullet or 15 gr. "spatter-less" bullet. -------------Sixgun
The 552 GS was listed in rem. catalogs from 1958-77, and sold for around $62. It was just like the regular 552, except for the lighter recoil spring, and the .22 short chamber. It did have the attachment for a chain ring, and also a aluminum buttplate to handle the abuse that most gallery guns got. John's book says they were only made 10 years, so there must have been some breaks in production in that 20 years that Rem. offered them.
Thanks, there really is something "fun" about a semi-auto 22 short. I had a Winchester 74, chambered in 22 short, and used to get the biggest kick out of hearing that "tap, tap, tap..." as the bolt cycled.
