Model 14 1/2 serialization?

Post by gmkmd »

Anyone know how to date a model 14 1/2 by serial number? Mine is C 70XXX.

All 14½s were numbered with model 14s. A 70xxx receiver would have been around 1920 but Remington did not always build guns in order so we have to look at the rifle more closely to try and determine the year. Sometime in 1922 they started stamping a two letter code on the barrel in the area below the caliber that would tell the month and year of production. In the absence of these letters, clues looked for are the roll marking on the barrel, type of stock, type of shellhead on the receiver, and type of safety. You can contact me at hemphill@gvtel.com if you wish to pursue this......tom
