I ran across an article put out in The Remington Society on these 141 carbines and learned some interesting information.
Link to article They were made using leftover model 14 barrels. Apparently they didn’t garner much demand so when the barrels ran out they made no more. Estimated production was 150-250 in 4 calibers, majority being.30 Remington. Estimates are between 20-60 made in .32 Rem. making it a fairly rare version of the 141. I contacted the man in the article that collects data on these carbines, he has information on 48 of them, 6 being produced in December of ‘41 along with mine. He also said the Lyman 21 sight for the Remington is quite rare. It’s probably worth more than I gave for the rifle.
You never know what will turn up on the rack, I’m happy. I’ll be happier when I find a bit of ammo. [i][/i]
