My father-in-law has an old pump action rifle of some make or another (he will not be anywhere near the actual gun for a week). He says he bought the gun second-hand about 30 years ago, and he is guessing the gun was made around 1910. His nephew took this gun apart several years ago and lost a spring. Does anyone have any ideas on what the make and model of this gun might be? I apologize about the lack of other details, but I will of course know more when he is able to look at the gun, assuming his eyes are up to the task. Also, does anyone know of a good website where one might obtain schematics of obsolete firearms?

Thanks,

Jeff in MN.

If it's a Remington, it is probably a model 14.

Thanks for the reply Steve. I forgot one detail that my father-in-law mentioned - he said that the magazine was "spiralled", and from looking at the schematics on your web-page, it is most likely a Remington model 41.
