Model 141 in .35 Rem - Barrel Length
Re: Model 141 in .35 Rem - Barrel Length
One of the experts will hopefully confirm, but fairly certain there is a very small number of 141's with 20 inch barrels....

Pictures are best for determining what you have but all Model 141 Carbines (18-1/2" Barrels) utilized Model 14 Carbine Barrels. Your 20 inch rifle is most likely a cut down rifle, there have been "many" of those on various auction sites over the years.
A twenty inch barrel actually looks pretty cool, practical, and never came out of the factory in that configuration! Again, a picture is worth more than a thousand words. It would not be terribly difficult to install a full length 24" barrel on your rifle but there is one problem in that the factory at the time did NOT use registry marks for barrel alignment...............thus making the job far more annoying for any gunsmith.
