Model 14 barrel address/barrel code

[dandak]

My Model 14 has the LY barrel code signifying February 1930 yet the barrel address is the type 6 address which, based on the list here on this forum, ran from 1935 to 1937. (The serial on the receiver places mfg in 1932.) The LY code is when it was assembled correct? It makes sense the barrel code and serial may not agree since no doubt parts were made in batches and placed in bins until needed, but perhaps the type 6 barrel address starting in 1935 is an error and type 6 actually started much earlier??

The two line "type 6" barrel code using serial numbers instead of patent dates, was used from 1928 until the end of production in 1935 so your LY=2/30 gun fits in there. Receivers that were made in 1932 include from 126762 to 127267 so your gun would have to have a serial in that area. So what is the serial of your gun?

Ok thanks. This list:

https://www.remingtonsociety.org/serials-model-14/


lists 1932 mfg as 119610 to 121306. Mine is in the high 119xxx range...(I currently don't have it with me as I am out of town). The same list also shows the type 6 barrel address as 1935-1937. This list I am referencing is the source of my confusion. What you have told me fits my gun perfectly. What is your source?

in simple terms I understand that there was a barrel of barrels and a barrel of receivers... They pulled one from each and made the rifle. Mine has one part made in 1928 and one part made in 1932 based on codes/numbers. Been told this was ordinary in the day
