44 REM OR 44 WCF

Post by Pooly »

I am also trying to find out some information on a

Pump action/centre fire

The info stamped on the barrel:

REMINGTON ARMS UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE CO.
Remington Works ILION, NEW YORK, U.S.A.
Pedersen's Pat Oct 12,09 July 5,10 Nov19,12
REMINGTON UMC
REM UMC 44 REM
44 REM OR 44 WCF
Serial # 32569

Evidently it was given to my grandfather as a present on his 21st birthday in 1937

You have a Remington Model 14-1/2 . The receiver was made in 1913. This rifle was made in two versions, a 22-1/2 inch barrel and a 18-1/2 inch carbine. The loger rifle was also made with a "half" mag (short carbine mag). It came in two calibers, 44-40 and 38-40. Take good care of it, they are getting hard to find.
