Remington Pattern 14 Present
Hi All,
My DW surprised me with a Remington Pattern 14 rifle for my birthday. It was from Hunters Lodge and has a Century Arms import marking on the barrel front. It shoots great!!
It is marked RE on the receiver ring, the SerNo stamped in the receiver and barrel as well is 35146. The barrel is dated "16". Rifling appears to be well defined. The bolt is not matching, has a SerNo of 112269, there is an * on the extractor and the right bolt lug is of a * config. The rear sight is marked with a W and a 530938 SerNo,
The stampings on the barrel are clear, the ones on the receiver are hard to read except for the RE and the SerNo. I can make out a faint broad arrow stamp and a faint crown stamp and some other markings on the receiver ring.
The stock is what is termed a "big belly" and had at some time in the past been arsenal repaired / reinforced with "biscuit" repairs and the glue used was failing. I repaired it with acraglasss and 2 threaded brass rods across the action immediately behind the magazine and 1 up and down on the right just ahead of the bolt cut. The rear hand guard is not original as the wood color is very different. I have been told the stock is the wrong type for a Remington but as the SerNo is so early I can not be sure of that.
I will post some pics tomorrow.

The stock was repaired, and probably replaced, in India. IMHO
Any Indian mark on the stock?

Most commonly referred to as a fat boy stock and only used on Eddystone rifles.
