Remington Model 14 25 cal pump action

Ser # indicated made in 1918 to 1920. Gun has some wear interested in approx value of gun?

Depends on condition. Even in good condition I can't see them exceeding more than $200 - $300. I had one for a while in 30 cal but you really have to slam them shut to get them to lock up. Indirectly that is how I ended up with the gun. The original owner saw a deer and tried to quietly slide the gun shut. Then carefully aimed but the gun would not fire (because it was not all the way forward) He tried it once more and was going to throw the gun away but my next door neighbor took it home and I think had the same problem

Probably a $300 rifle in my area if it has signifigant wear. They are very well built rifles and were expensive to manufacture, one of the reasons they were discontinued. The .25,.30,.32 Remington were designed to be direct competition to the .25/35,.30/30 and .32 Special which were loaded in the 94 Winchester. Ballistics of the two sets of cartridges are identical with the main difference being the Remington rounds were rimless to work in Remington's pumps and semis. Ammo is getting hard to find for the Remington trio and this hurts the resale value as well. The only model 14's that I have seen go for high prices were a pair that were in about 98% condition, desirable for Remington collectors.
As for the problem mentioned above, many don't realize you can't baby a pump when operating it, slam it back and forth, that is the way they are designed to operate. Even my father's old 760 Remington in .35 Rem. will not feed properly sometimes if you slowly operate the pump.
 
25 cal is among the more scarce chamberings, but many factors affect value. Pics are essential. PM me if you need help posting.
