Please help dating my 14C

Post by kaferhaus »

I did a search of the remington dates in this site but it appears the page for this number is missing.... serial number is 91163. Can anyone put a date of mfg on it?

I'm looking to restore it a bit and it'd be helful to know. The checkering is about worn off the wrist of the stock and there are a couple gouges in it as well.... might be looking for a new stock. It sports a 4x Weaver scope (steel body, El Paso) so it's obviously been drilled and tapped. One base on the receiver and one on the barrel.

Everything works, action is smooth. I am going to have to re-crown the barrel as it's suspect... lots of small dings on it. Haven't shot it yet, plan on doing so this weekend.

I'm sure I have too much in it as I traded a Browning Buckmark Camper 22 for it. But I was feeling nostalgic.... I'm often a victim of such feelings.... :D

91163 falls in among guns built anywhere from 1923-1925. They didn't exactly follow in serial number order with the receivers at the factory. On the left side of the barrel, under and right usually, of the caliber designation, you should find two letters. Send that information to me and I can date it............tom
