.30 Remington Model 14

[tklawrence]

I know some of you are familiar with this caliber and rifle.

I bought one, haven't found ammo but bought reloading dies but no brass. There's an outfit in Idaho that sells brass in .30 Remington (among other 'odd' calibers) but it's out of stock at the moment.

Does anyone know if this brass is available anywhere else? The ammo itself hasn't been in production since the 90's from what I've heard so reloading seems the only way to be able to shoot this rifle.

It's not pristine and I won't really know how it shoots until I can reload some ammo for it.

I had a model 14 and a Remington model 8, both in .30 Rem. As far as I know, nobody has loaded the ammo for years. However, any decent sized gun show will have a dealer who sells older ammo, and the .30 and .32 Rem are not rare. Expect to pay a hefty price, but it is available.

Check "Old Western Scrounger" They list .30 Rem loaded ammo. Hope that helps. Geoff

Remington ran some brass last year, of course it's all gone. Some comes up on gunbroker and gunauction from time to time. In fact there's some there now on both sites. I wouldn't suggest the old Silvertip brass that's on gunauction though, too old, lots of splits in some I've shot. Don't expect a whole lot in the way of accuracy and go to the Remington Collector's forum before trying to reload. The action is very particular about bullet shape and OAL. If Remington does another run, now that 6.8 SPC is more available, it might last a little longer. In a pinch, and if you have machine tools, one can make it from 30-30.

Be advised that the original ammo is loaded with .307 diameter bullets. Ammo is usually found at gun shows in the odds and ends ammo boxes that are at every show.

Another thing on the old ammo is that the brass may split out when shot. Best to invest in new brass rather than paying high price for older ammo that may not be reloadable.

The following pics I'm hoping will help

I was mistaken in s few areas
1) replacement barrel did have s date stamped
2) serial # is 106 not 108

Please share with me as much as you can regarding my new .22 should this be my prized .22?
Is it common to have both barrels? Why no marks on the stock?

Anxiously awaiting an update.
