Remington Model 14C

I have a model 14 C serial 11XXX I've taken in for consignment. I'm sure everything on this rifle is original but I do have a question about the rear sight. The gun I have has a fold up peep sight. Did Remington offer this on the model 14? I've nailed down the manufacture date to 1913.

In 1914 Remington offered tang sights in Mable's and Lyman. They also had a wheel elevator with a cobination peep and straight bar hinged leaf rear sight. When you say you have a 14-C do you mean a "C" grade or a rifle that has a "C" by the serial number? If it doen't have checkering and graded wood, you have an "A" grade.

The C is above the serial number so I guess I have an model 14A
Thanks for the info

Prior to 1921 the model 14 did not carry a model number. The receiver was marked with a C above the serial number on the bottom of the receiver. This C denoted the model of the gun not the grade. Shot1too is right on about the peep sights. Model 14 specific sights by Lyman and Marbels were offered as "factory Options".
