Model 14 / 14-1/2 Full Collection?

I love the model 14 and 14-1/2 family (no interest in 141s though). Does anyone have a full collection of 12 guns (25/30/32/35/38-40/44-40) both rifles and carbines? What would such a collection be worth, assuming average condition of the guns overall? Just curious.

Re: Model 14 - Dissassembly

Thanks NambuJim -- I managed to push the bolt assembly back to the front (closed) position and disassemble for cleaning etc. The problem appears to be that the front magazine guide and/or magazine tube was bent or misaligned and made it stick in the open position. BUT, in working on cleaning the bre...

Re: Model 14 1/2 jammed open

Hi, I bought a 14-1/2 in 38-40 but the slide is stuck in the open position so I can't disassemble. Any tips? Thanks.
