There were 20 some changes made during the life of the Model 14 and we know the order in which they were done. If not and you want to know for sure within a year or so you must look at the changes that the gun has with respect to the year when they were made. If the gun is new enough to have a date code then that is correct. Guns were not produced in strict serial number order. In all, 125,020 Model 14 rifles and Model 14½ rifles were made in the 23 years of production through 1934, when they were discontinued and replaced by Remington Model 141 rifles. The Model 14½ was nearly identical to the Model 14, except for the chambering, barrel length and markings. 25 and the No.14½R Carbine (with 18½” barrel, straight-grip stock, and saddle ring) for $16. Remington’s retail price list dated January 12, 1914, offered the No.14❚ Standard Grade Rifle (with 22½” barrel and pistol-grip stock) for $17. The Remington Model 14½ Slide-Action, Sporting Rifle was introduced a year after the Model 14 rifle. The 1913-14 Remington catalog offered the hunting rifle in six grades: No.14A Standard Grade (with 22″ barrel and pistol-grip stock) for $20 00 No.14C Special Grade for $35 00 No.14D Peerless Grade for $55 00 No.14E Expert Grade for $70 00 No.14F Premier Grade for $105 00 and No.14R Carbine (with 18½” barrel, straight-grip stock, and saddle ring) for $18 00. Loomis assisted Pedersen, and the Remington Model 14 Slide-Action Rifle was introduced in August 1912. Petersen began working on a high-power, pump-action sporting rifle for Remington in September 1908, receiving U.S. LW MAGNUM (ALSO INCLUDES M/1100 “LT”)ġ963 TO APPROX. “LIGHT WEIGHT” (“LW”) (ALSO INCLUDES M/1100 “LT”) REMINGTON SHOTGUN SERIAL NUMBER STRUCTUREġ950 TO APPROX 1968: NO SERIAL NUMBER PREFIXġ968 TO PRESENT: LETTERS USED (IN SEQUENCE) If you can't figure it out, maybe some of the 1100 gurus might chime in with some thoughts. Here's another list with some of the letter codes for the serial numbers. The letter "K" could be for the year 1963 and wouldn't have a serial number prefix, but that sounds a little suspicious, too. The letters "K I" would be May of 1976 (pre-1980), but then there should be a prefix letter of "M" in the serial number. ![]() As I remember this was a nice ladies gun with a minimal kick but it's been over 20 years since I shot it at the local turkey shoot, still don't need any turkeys. Because of this I've been holding onto it for the past 6 years and haven't tried shooting it as I'd be concerned it was unsafe but now my daughter is too big for the 410 and wants to shoot something bigger. If no one can help me that's fine, as soon as I register it I can take it to a gunsmith, there's a little broken clip that causes it to jam if you attempt to eject a shell. The barrel has the code AFKI or AFK1, I'm unsure as the stamping is messy. There aren't any prefix codes to the serial. The receiver has the serial 491**V, I understand V to mean 12 gauge. I know my father purchased it before 1980. I'm unsure as to how you get the exact length of the barrel. What I know it's a 12 gauge, 2 3/4 with a full ribbed barrel. I used to know a lot about guns and hunted all the time with my father, he fell ill some five years ago and passed away, before then he just randomly gave me this gun and gave the rest of them to my stupid brother I guess he figured the 1100 would be a good gurly gun and I used to shoot skeet with my little gurly 410. I apologize because I'm sure this has been asked a lot. ![]()
