Beware of scammers.

Joe!

I really don't have a clue but what I can tell you is that for years I've been shooting a .257 Ackley Improved, it has NEVER been a commercial cartridge, and RCBS made dies for it back in the 70's. Was just chatting with a friend about this and he's one smart "gun guy" who says the 25-06 goes ...

I tried to make a "post" on this earlier but apparently didn't hit the "submit" button and good thing because all I saw was the 388,000 serial which sends up all sorts of red flags but the other dude who replied was smarter than I and recognized it was serial 3,880,000 which makes a big difference ...

No one has contacted me about the sight so it has been listed for sale this date on Gunbroker. For the record I had to buy an entire rifle just to get the sight.

Laurie!

Al Freeland (Freeland Scope Stands fame) had one, just saw it in passing many-many years ago and had little interest. I think his son Ted might still be around, maybe he would know??

This is a 95% sight with original non buggered attaching screws but no screw in aperture, apertures are cheap & easy to find but this sight isn't.

This by far is "the" very best tang sight for the 14/141 manually adjustable for windage & elevation using the factory drilled holes in the lower ...

Probably a little late for this post but you see .32 Remington Dies on Ebay from time to time and even on Gunbroker. I'm pretty confident that Redding still makes them.

Use only round nose bullets and both .323 (8MM) and .321 work, my preference is the 8MM. Find an old loading manual for the 70's ...

Back then almost always Walnut!

I would say its May 1941, the last stamp looks like an inspectors mark to me!

Both sights have sold to RSA members!

I still have action bar covers for the 141 if anyone needs one, they aren't cheap, and now difficult to find.

Alex!

I ended the auction on GB, price to you is $189 delivered.

Sorry but getting really old and not sure who you are........lol. Everybody seems to have my email address so here goes: nambujim@charlotte.twcbc.com.

Send me an email with your info so I can get it boxed up and ready to go, really ...

Usually they would be inspectors marks!

Don't see many standard barrel .22 40X, it was actually better for "position" shooting than the heavy version. The heavy barrel rifle was great for prone but sucked everywhere else but bench rest.

I just dismantled a "parts gun" purchased for the sights. Problem was it had been sitting so long the R8 & Wheel Sight required an overnight bath in Kroil. If you haven't used Kroil to go after stuck screws or my favorite for removal then you haven't seen magic in action.

I listed the 117-1/2 Wheel ...

Since they quit making them in 1950, I would go with 1937.

Yeah!

There are a bunch of those cast aluminum butt plates around, you usually find them on older guns. Ken Blauch, Tom Hemphill, and myself had a get together at Kens place maybe 20 years ago, I brought along a rifle with one of those plates attached to it.

Our opinion at the time (both Ken & Tom ...

At one time I had a bag with twenty four (24) left hand safeties for the 14/141, thought I had used them all up but had no reason to check, and YES I do have some.

Here's the rub, all I have is Priority mail boxes, the post office round trip is 90 minutes, and I would charge like $40 for the safety ...
