Attractive Remington Model 141-B Gamemaster Deluxe Slide Action Rifle
serial #79491, 35 Remington, 24'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this nice September 1950 date-coded rifle retain about 95% original blue showing a little operational wear along the magazine tube, scattered handling marks and most of the loss due to two small spots of pinprick pitting, one on the left side of the barrel shank and the other left-side edge of the action. The rear section of the magazine tube, the loading gate and the trigger all show lovely vibrant case-hardened colors, the bolt remains bright and the extractor shows fine fire blue. The checkered pistolgrip deluxe walnut buttstock and forend remain in excellent condition retaining about 95% original varnish along with some scattered minor dings and light handling marks. The heavy factory varnish is starting to take on a nice craquelure overall and the wood exhibits some attractive grain figure throughout. The original checkered aluminum buttplate is intact and there is a gold monogram plate inlaid along the toe line and neatly engraved with the original owner's name ''G.O. Schneider''. The rifle is fitted with period sling swivel studs and is sighted with a Lyman tang peep sight, standard sporting rear and silver bead on matted ramp front. A fine example of the somewhat scarce 141B in a desirable chambering. (13B11696-4) {C&R} (1200/1800)
