Of course the process of manufacturing the Remington 760 model was radically different than the 14 or 141. This eventually let up to Remington Pump Rifle in the Model 760 Pump. I will talk more of other models in separate articles. The model 14 ½ Remington rifles in 38-40 and 44-40 are great collector firearms. Remington Arms Company would also make other pump rifles like the model 14. The expense of making them and the labor intense manufacturing process would ultimately doom the 14 and 141 Remington rifles. This is one of the reasons that they would eventually quit manufacturing these models. Remington firearms would start looking for cheaper manufacturing options. Because of the machining required to make these models and the labor involved. The model 14 and 141 are a little on the heavy side, but they still maintain a very sleek nice-looking style to them and were quite popular before WWII. The model 141 would get a nice sleek looking forearm. They would drop the curved steel butt plate on the 14 to a black hard rubber one on the 141. Basically the 141 was the same firearm except for cosmetic differences primarily in the stock and forearm. The name gamemaster would be carried over into the Remington 760 model. By 1935 they switched to the model 141 Remington pump rifle and started using the name designation of the gamemaster. The model 14 had a lot of parts in it and even though it did have a lot of parts it was a fine functioning firearm. Every part including the firing pin and a lot of the small parts were machined and extremely well-made.
The pump model 14 and 141 were very well-made firearms and were almost totally machined. Most of those cartridges were developed to compete with the Winchester rifles, which were chambered for the 30-30 cartridge and the 32 Winchester cartridges. It was chambered in the 25 Remington, 30 Remington, 32 Remington, and 35 Remington cartridges. The model 14 was a unique design and was a fascinating gun to me and I always liked its styling. These two pump models were the predecessors of the 760 Remington pump rifles that were introduced in 1952. These were the early versions of the high-powered pump rifles that the Remington firearms company would produce. In 1935 the model 14 would become the Remington model 141 gamemaster. By the years of 1912 to 1914, the Remington Firearms Company would introduce the model 14 rifle.
