Remington Society

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 ...

I have been using a brass punch I made 45 years ago to remove the bushings, have no idea as to the actual size. I also use the punch to hold the trigger in place during the installation of the trigger spring, spring rod, and cap. I don't have a left hand safety at present but have seen them ...

Its the same process with the same parts, only real difference is the "trigger spring cap" on the 141 was re-designed for a MUCH easier installation. Just to be clear, there is a difference between a right and left hand cross bolt safety so you can't just turn around the existing part.

Sold the sight to an RSA member yesterday!

Rather sell items this way than pay the fees & taxes.

I have one of these I just obtained, cleaned it up, installed an aperture you can drill out if you like, added some new attaching screws. These are near impossible to find,this "is" the best tang sight for these rifles because of low profile, and windage/elevation adjustable. Picture attached.

$289 ...

There are a lot more qualified than I to answer your questions but its normal for the stock & butt plate to have one set of serials and the upper/lower receiver to have another set. Some "special order" rifles might have had matching serials and most Model 121's will have all matching serials.

Yeah ...

Sometimes they were on the underside, hidden by the wood. Worth a look!

Are you looking for the "tang sight" that goes in the factory holes on the lower receiver?

If so, the most common is the Lyman R12, the R25 is also a fit. Marble has has one as well AND they are all a bit difficult to find but they appear on Ebay from time to time. I would think an R12 in decent ...

This posting is really for the Model 14 & 141 owners, to a far less degree for the Model 8/81 owners, the latter of which don't suffer from their brass being beat to hell from the loading system, and can use a variety of bullet configurations.

For those of us that have some "age" on us we got used ...
