If not and you want to know for sure within a year or so you must look at the changes that the gun has with respect to the year when they were made. If the gun is new enough to have a date code then that is correct. Guns were not produced in strict serial number order. In all, 125,020 Model 14 rifles and Model 14½ rifles were made in the 23 years of production through 1934, when they were discontinued and replaced by Remington Model 141 rifles. The Model 14½ was nearly identical to the Model 14, except for the chambering, barrel length and markings. 25 and the No.14½R Carbine (with 18½” barrel, straight-grip stock, and saddle ring) for $16.

Silly me, I always thought the point of shooting was to hit your target, and whether your. Using standard velocity ammunition in your Model 12. So think about it, you get far less barrel wear, and far better accuracy by What was even more impressive were the amount of flyers (shots well out of the normal grouping, one box of Super-X had four rounds out of a box of 50 that were almost out of the scoring area on the target or about 1.5" from Small bore 50' target (imagine what they would be like at 50 yards). Less than 40% made the 10-Ring ring on a conventional Horrific when compared to standard/match velocity ammunition and Then came the tests with the high velocity stuff, the accuracy was Standard velocity and match grade ammunition performed as you might expect blowing the ten ring out of the targets.some of course were better than others like Eley Red box or Western Super Match.
