At the gunstore to pick up a couple of guns I had worked on I saw a young guy looking at a Remingtion Model 14.
That's a pump rifle Remington made before the current pumps.
It looks distinctive because the magazine has flutes in it. They were supposed to keep the rounds offset so the bullet tip wasn't resting on the primer of the round in front of it. I always thought the 14s looked like neat, light rifles. They have a case head imbedded in the side of the action which is an intersting touch.
The caliber was .30 Remington, a rimless round that was Remington's answer to the Winchester .30-30. Ammo is hard to come by, but I told the guy that cases are still available sometimes. Midway USA had them a while ago. They were also made in .35 Remington, too bad the local example wasn't in that round.
Price was $399 which is getting up there IMO. The only guy I knew who had one paid somebody $40 for it. Of course, that was almost 30 years ago. I wonder if he'd take $150 now?
