Per Ken Blauch's book....the 141R's were made only as long as the left over Model 14 carbine barrels lasted. Ken uses 2 methods used to extrapolate Model 141 Carbine Production in all calibers....Method 1 indicates a total of 123 carbines produced and Method 2 which indicates that a total of 408 carbines were produced. Ken concludes that although there are other factors involved, it appears that the actual number of 141 carbines produced falls between 123 and 408.
I have seen a 141R in a display/collection at both the Harrisburg and Split Rock shows here in PA. There was also a high condition 141R offered for sale on the Remington Society forum a little over 2 years ago.
Records indicate that there was a total of 1,218 M14 carbines produced in all calibers between 1923 and 1934. I have seen two 14R's at the Allentown show within the last year....a 35 Rem with a few holes drilled in the barrel and a high condition 32 Rem with both the thumbnail safety and dummy x-bolt safety.
