Gotta be an N-Frame with a .44 or .45 bore. As an alternative, what about a wonderful ol' Colt New Service?


A Remington Model 14R carbine in .30 Remington lives here. I got it from the original owner who said he purchased it on a close-out sale from Leonard Bros. in Fort Worth, Texas in 1936. He said the sporting goods department in the basement had big drawers like bins with the Remington Model 14s, rifles and carbines in all the calibers, stored in them. The serial number, the Remington barrel date code ( Remington Barrel Date Codes = Date Of Manufacture | Gun Values Board ), and certain other features dates the rifle to 1921. Odd how it remained unsold for 15 years.



Its accuracy doesn't really "set the woods on fire" at 100 yards. Trigger could be a contributing factor. As my old friend who originally owned the rifle said: "The thing takes two men and a boy to pull its trigger!"


A compact and potent little deer rifle for modest ranges.


One deer has fallen to it since I've owned it, taken at about 50 yards.
