Help on Rem. 141 rear peep sight

[wiktor]

Again screws are 6X44's and a gunsmith can make you a couple on his lathe. Also, as far as the front sight ramp on 141's, the early manufacture, 1936 for sure, had a machined front sight ramp, and no,I don't mean the odd few that had 14 barrels. Later models were attached. Good luck with the screws!!

Rickster , first production 141s had some model 14 barrels on them , until that inventorey was used up . None of these 141s were stamped Gamemaster ! I have heard that there are a few 141s out there wearing 18" Mod. 14 carbine barrels too , plus a few in .25 Cal , just to use up the barrels on hand . I have never seen either of these variations though ! The solder used on the 141s and early 760s was I believe Silver Solder . It melts at around a Thousand degrees , which ruins the Bluing . Brownells has a solder that works at around 500 deg. and will hold sights on just fine .

The front sight ramp is machined on the barrel, not soldered on. You cant knock it off.

Tang sight screws are 0.140x44tpi. A 6x48 screw is smaller (.130 shaft).

My 141 front sight ramp was soldered on, i cut mine down, heated it and it came off. Resoldered it back on as well.
