Rem. 141 date code question

[nambujim]

Tom Hemphill who maintains a data base for the 14/141 rifles shows a smattering of serials in the 79,000 range, the last being 79708 with a barrel code of DWW or September of 1950. There is no doubt Remington had some frames/parts left over and probably filled a few orders after serial 79708 and keep in mind the rifles were probably NOT produced in exact order of serial number.

For one reason or another a frame or trigger guard could have been rejected or set aside, then made right, and put back in inventory. I ask that you pass on the serial, barrel code, and caliber so we can add it to Tom's data base. In short, I have little doubt as to the validity of your rifle & the barrel code. It might well be the last or one of the last 141's produced, thanks for sharing your information and glad the rifle remains in original condition and not drilled or modified.

Jim,

I jopined this forum so I could ask you a question.. hope you see it. What is the last S/N that you have in your Remington 141 database? I might have something interesting

79764 was the last when Tom last printed the data base out but he might have something later now. Best I can do until I talk with Tommy!

The highest serial we currently have was made in August of 1950, 79864.
