Beware of scammers.

Go with the EX. I record info on 14s, 141s, 30s, and 25s, and Remington did not build in serial order. I have seen a 1914 serial to be built eleven years later. its like they grabbed a serial receiver out of a Cracker Barrel at random and built the rifle....tom

A 44 Rem is just another name for a 44-40. It was also called a 44 WCF(Winchester Center Fire), 44 Win, and the Spanish called it a 44 Largo as I recall.

I have a forearms from a 742 rifle that is the same size as my 62 742CDL. It is from a rifle of this period predating the basket weave pattern. If interested private message me.......tom

it was built in February, 1949. The rifle looks like it is in great shape.

The closest I can come on my datase is 21279, which is a 11/28 production. Most in this serial range are made in 1928, however, Remington did not always make them in order of serials, for instance, 21124 is made in 1929.

Wonderful pictures. Your rifle was made in May, 1923. Enjoy it. They are a delight to shoot.

On the left side of the barrel, in the area below 32-20 and towards the receiver, you will find two letters, generally followed by a symbol. Give me those two letters and I can tell you the month and year the rifle was made. For now, it was likely made in 1923 or early 1924............tom

I have a few questions on your rifle that was most likely made in 1920. Could I get you to send a picture to my email address? I started this typing questions but after 6 of them, I think a picture or two might save time. I maintain a database on model 14s and should be able to provide with more ...

On my 141R, it is 2" when measuring from a straight edge laid on top of the receiver down to the heel of the buttplate. Doing the same on two 14Rs, it is 2 1/2". .....tom

.680. Sorry for the delay in answering your inquiry. I haven't gotten used to a new computer.

I am assuming that you mean that you have a model 12A as a 22A is a nonexistent model. If so, your slide action rifle was made in 1922.

You are correct in the build code indicating March, 1930 on a serial range that would normally is 1923 production. Is there any number behind the AY? I list another close the that serial that carries a code indicating 6/30, but also has a 2 behind it, indicating a barrel alone that was sold on that ...

One more thing. Jim said Remington did not always produce guns in serial number order. Well the "Q" on the 25s I have listed range from 136X all the way to 10,1XX. In between I record build codes that go from December, 1922 to as late as 1934.......tom

In January, 1924 Remington started with the year code letter "Q" but they only used it in January production. On a database that records information on 800 model 25s, I find it on 14 listings and on my model 14 database consisting of 2600 entries, only 1 rifle has the Q. After January, Q was dropped ...

Chris:
Your gun is a Model 14R, in other words, a carbine with an 18½" barrel. The serial number indicates that it was made in 1914 but as they did not always produce guns in serial number order, it could have been made a couple of years later. Carbine production seems to have started during the ...
