AND the 14's marked 25-35 and 30-30 will bring xtra $ from collectors at all other conditions equal...as to the 38-40e and 44/40s.those are models 14 1/2,so it's a basic thruth that the 25's will get you the most $ compared to other 14's. scarcity counts, and the 25 was dropped when the 141 was intr...

mY 14 1/2 is a 44/40,and nowhere near the condition of the one we are talking about,but I finally decided If I was ever to get one of my own,I would stop chasing the 90% + ones..It does have the proper peep sight and it's a fine shooter,,After doing without one since 1952 (and that was a borrowed gu...

I sold one of mine at a lgs maybe 5 yrs ago for $825...Wasn't on the market long,& wouldn't sell my last one for that or a good bit more... Would trade and include some brass and a few greenspans for an equal condition 338 Marlin,though.................. Nate

The cheapest unattached one I saw at the big Missoula show was $145(It did have the orig.box)..I am now looking at Rem mdl. 14,serial#16974,a 30 R. and # 21461.a 32 R. neither of which have those aforementioned holes.??? Nate

According to my maternal granddad, about 75% of the people in that area born after 1900 were most likely to be either honyocks or bohunkers. I'm not at all sure how he distinguished one from the other..!! Nate

MOst of the 348 Ammo I've sold at Idaho/Montana gunshows in the last two years brought $50/bx for the 200 gr, $60-65 for the old 150 gr,or 250 gr...

I'm thinking an 1896 serial # is a few years too early for the rifle to be original.. quite a few model 1886 were rebarreled (some by the factory) to 33 wcf when the original barrel was messed up with corrosive primers.. One of mine was like that ,marked as having gone back to the factory.. Winchest...

FWIW, before Remington "invented" their "own 30/30". they sold the Remington-Lee bolt rifle in 30/30(among several other chamberings).. Apparently not a lot of them,though, as I'm owning the only one I've ever seen offered for sale or on display.. Nate
