Re: Model 14/141 Slam Fire

While I'm not Jim, I believe the part you are referring to is the "Firing Pin Catch". Please see the pictures attached. The Remington Service Manual can be found here --> https://whitebeachone.wordpress.com/wp- ... l_1973.pdf

Rifle No# 10! - July 1941 Remington 550

Writing this book on the Remington 550 series rifles is taking a toll on my gun money. I picked up rifle number 10 today that I won at auction. It's always kind of a crap shoot when you buy a rifle from an online auction because you really never know the condition of the rifle. I got lucky this time ...

1. Serial Number on the rear, left side of the receiver?
2. If the ...

Date this? Remington Sporting Firearms, Ammunition Traps and Targets

Can someone date this price catalog? Cornellpubs.com dates it at 1948, but that can't be accurate because the pricing is off for the rifles. The firearms price range in this puts it sometime in the 50's between 1950 and 1955 PDF HERE -> https://whitebeachone.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09 ...
