Re: Inherited my grandfathers Model 25 32 WCF
The AA designates "frame size), AA was used on the Model 25, the frame is actually shared with the Model 12 which are marked "RW" over the serial. What you have is an early Model 25 in near mint condition, fairly rare rifle, not many were made, and few are in that condition. Enjoy it ...

Re: Rimfire auto's that shoot Short & Long Rifle intermixed
I don't even know if this is worth talking about but I have a Browning Grade II .22 Auto that I purchased new in 1970, manufactured in 1968. It is of course the same design as the Remington 24/241 so I thought I would give some input on its ability to shoot both .22 Long Rifle & .22 Shorts. We w...

Re: Question About Model 25
Jethro! The "short" answer is "you're in trouble" but you probably knew that. The Model 25 when working properly is super-cool and a desired piece. Problem is they made very few of these, parts are impossible to find, 98.7% of gunsmiths have never seen one, few really know how th...

Re: Questions About Model 14 Carbine
Going to say this for the 100th time on the site. You do NOT use cast bullets in these rifles! You do NOT use Flat Point bullets in these rifles! You will get slivers from the cast bullets that will seriously mess with your feed system. .............and if that isn't enough, these rifles came with &...

Re: Questions About Model 14 Carbine
14 Carbines in that condition are difficult to find, nice rifle! Lyman R14 tang sight fits in the holes provided by the factory at the back/top of the receiver, so will a Marble R8 but it has a small screw that goes into the stock. Either sight would require replacement of the front sight. The Wheel...

Re: New to the forms anyone willing to help ?
The rest of the markings are usually inspectors marks for which their can be several. No real meaning unless it was returned to the plant for repair, then they could I.D. who approved it. You've identified the barrel code & serial, those are the two most important markings. Enjoy your rifle, goo...

Re: Rem 141 scope mount
They sort of look like Redfield JR rings used on early military scopes. Best source of finding that type of info (part number/make) is old Gun Digests & Shooter's Bible. You can start by dating your rifle, then find a Shooter's Bible of the same year, and would think they were still making them ...

Re: Remington 141's help identifying.
Fred! Yeah, being an armorer and knowing tube feed isn't the least bit helpful when it comes to these rifles................the feed system is unique to them. I guess the good news would be that if you messed up working on one, you can use the others for spare parts. When/if you go to take one fully...

Re: Remington 141's help identifying.
Fred! The three (3) Model 14's were all made before 1917, the Model 141 is first year production like 1935 or 36. These rifles are very "quirky" and the early Model 14's are the most "quirky" because they started making changes to the Model 14 the day after it was introduced in 1...

Re: Remington 141's help identifying.
Tom Hemphill asked me to advise that three (3) of those Model 141's are actually Model 14's. I will add that there are quite a few differences between the two models. Although I only took a brief look, all of yours have been seriously messed with. Only the rifle marked Model 141 on the side "is...
