Hey there nutter's

I have acquired said gun and it seems to be in really nice shape. Original condition I would say.

What are my options with this beauty? Can't find ammo, and I don't reload. What would the gun be worth to deal it? Can it be rechambered or should I not bother with that??
Or am I just better off hangin it on the wall???

I know it's a lot of questions, but any help would great!

Thanks,

Brian
 
Brass is not that hard to find. Reload using a lee Loader in .30-30 using .30-30 load data. If you have a hobby lathe brass can be made from .30-30 brass. Great project and lot's of fun.

Ammo is available, pretty much equivalent to the .30/30 ballistically. Value if in nice shape $350-$450 in my area.

I have searched and never found any available ammo. It's not listed by any major or minor ammunition manufacturer, though some US custom shops sell the stuff for about $3 a pop. It is identical to the 30-30 ballistics as it is a 30-30, but rimless. Having said that, brass can be readily found at larger gun shows and all other 30-30 components and recipes work for the .30 Remington. Try asking for components on the EE and see what you can get. I can guarantee you won't shoot the rifle unless you reload for it or someone gifts you some ammo for a reasonable price.
 
I picked up a very nice 141 in 30 Remington just last week from Accuracy Arms out of Peterborough.Some light bluing wear on it and couple light marks on the wood but appears to have seen limited use in my opinion.I'm pleased with it for sure and it is actually a gift for wife when Christmas rolls around.As for ammunition, I have been to a lot of gunshows in the past while and you do see the odd box of ammo here and there as well as a few brass now and then but in my experience it seems kinda scarce.I was extremely surprised to happen across a guy selling new old stock 32 Remington brass at the last Woodstock gunshow so I cleaned him out,the 25,30 and 32 Remington are all the same basically except for bullet diameter so I now have a lifetime supply of good quality reloadable brass.I got what I think is a pretty good price on the rifle at 350.00 considering the shape it is in, many of the examples I have seen were selling for the same money but were,in some cases,beat to hell with cracked stocks and not a speck of bluing left anywhere.My first experience with one of these guns,we'll see how it works out.
 
They are very well made guns with a lot of intricate machining and fitting. One of the reasons they were discontinued; very expensive to manufacture. I have owned a 141 in .32 and a 14 in .35 Remington, both were good working and well balanced woods rifles. The spiral mag is interesting as you can use pointed bullets without the chance of recoil causing an explosion in the magazine. There seems to be a lot of old ammo at gun shows here in the Maritimes but from what I'm reading not a lot in other places.
 
My old 141 in .35 in my go-to gun.
There is an article on the model in the January 2014 issue of Rifle Firepower.

Just get together with someone and turn a few hundred from 30/30 brass. Two cuts on a lathe: one for the rim, one for the extractor groove, and you're done. Doesn't take long with a good guy at the helm.

Hey fellas,

Thanks for the advice and options, I'm still not real sure what I will do. I have absolutely zero experience in reloading, so obviously no gear to do it................Maybe I'll just sell it.

Thanks again,

Brian
 
Just so you know, they are a great hunting rifle. Easy to carry, well balanced, fast to reload, mild recoil. Don't be too quick to sell it. If you look for ammo, you will find it.
