Re: Forum activity

John, I say post away! I am very much in your camp! I too received a Model 11 from my grandpa when I was 13. It was his dads! (It was made in 1910, btw).

Re: Remington IS turning out new 870s.

I’ve held one. A 20 ga . Rough to say the least. Wood fit to reciever was awful. But hopefully they get their act together.

Rem 141 highest serial number

Howdy all, I was on GB and there is a 141 in .30 that is sn 78278 and another 141 in .35 sn 78916 just sold last week. According to Ken Blauch’s book, the last known 141 was sn 76881. Just an interesting find.

On a side note , I personally own two 141’s, sn 1955 in 35 and sn 31794 in 32.

Basically I'm a Remington fan of their products from about 1906-1970. My Model 11 12 ga started it al...
