Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!

Good eye! Very close: It is a Remington 580, which is a single-shot only compared to your magazine-fed 581. As an aside, I was just looking up Remington 580 and 581s and found out this 580 was made in 1967. There are tiny coded date stamps on the barrel near the receiver. You can look yours up here to see when yours was made:

The Springfield Armory Garand is all original. According to the serial number, it was manufactured in the late 50s.Notes: Derived from the earlier Model 540, the Model 580 was a rimfire rifle produced from 1967-78. The stock was made from plain hardwood and used a low Monte Carlo comb. The fore-end was rounded and large, as was the pistol grip wrist, leading to excellent handling. The trigger guard was large enough to put a gloved finger into it. They had spring-leaf and elevator rear sights, and were also equipped with a rail atop the receiver for telescopic sight mounts. The standard Model 580 had a 24-inch barrel and fired .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle ammunition interchangeably.
Variants included the Model 580BR Boy’s Rifle, which had a slightly shorter stock and was produced from 1971-78. The Model 581 was a magazine-fed version of the Model 580; a left-handed version was also built, in rather small numbers. It too could interchangeably fire .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle, but all the cartridges in the magazine had to be of the same type of ammunition to prevent feed problems. It was produced alongside the Model 580 and outlasted it, built until 1983. The Model 581S is externally almost identical to the Model 581, but uses a smaller 5-round magazine, a hardwood stock finished to look like walnut, and a tapering fore-end. The Model 582 is a Model 580 fed by a full-length tubular magazine, produced from 1967-83. The Model 591 was a short-lived variation; it was chambered for the unusual 5mm Remington Magnum Rimfire cartridge and had plastic cap on the deep pistol grip wrist. The Model 592 was a tubular magazine-fed version of the Model 591.

Here's a little more wood and steel from the good old US of A.
Hope Stainless Steel counts

It cost free 'cuz I got it in a pile of other stuff that I sold/traded. I'd buy one of the 12 gauge jc higgins with the tube mag, seems like a good candidate for an 18" barrel
