Model 141?

[LeftyDon]

I got a Model 14 in 30 Remington handed down to me too. Most of my rounds were spotted with green and nasty looking. I tried to shoot some of the better stuff and each case split. Tossed it all out. Some of that old stuff had brass that wasn't up to today's standards and storage makes all the difference too. If the gun has no mechanical problems and the rounds look okay, then if it was mine I'd try shooting a few rounds, but check the cases when they eject. My $0.02.

The pics you posted look like a Mod. 14 , but the date code could be in the Mod. 141 era . Is it stamped The Gamemaster on the left side of the receiver ? If not it's a model 14 built in 1927 . 141s had a 24" barrel with a ramp type front sight and are stamped The Gamemaster . 14s had a 22" barrel , and the front sight dovetail was cut into an estucion that is part of the barrel . they have different wood also ! As far as shooting it , as long as the ammo looks good (no corrosion) , I'd shoot it if I wanted to , .30 Rem. ammo and brass is not easy to come by . I think if I had a full box of factory loads , I'd hang onto them for posterity , they do have some collector value also .

It looks like someone put a Mod. 14 forend on it ! The buttstock is correct for a 141 .
