value of rem mod 14

Unfortunately there are some old guns that just don't do it for most folks, and these guns tend to sit on the store shelf, esp. with the added ammo availability problem. The .35 rem. may draw some premium as it is the most effective cal. of the bunch and is still avail. These rifles and cartridges had to compete with the Winchester '94 in their day and the result wasn't even close!

They would range in value from $150.00 to $350.00 depending on condition and caliber.
The 25 Rem would be most valuable followed by the 35 Rem then the 30 Rem and last would be the 32 Rem.
Are they all original?
Do they all have the cross bolt safety at the rear of the trigger guard or a "thumb-nail" safety on the side of the breech bolt with a fake cross bolt?
Noel has lots of knowledge on these and could possibly get you dates of Manufacture if you wanted.
Nice set if they are all original, though.

There's an M-14 (no not that one) for sale here in .35 Remington that I'm tempted to buy, but I have absolutely no use for it; it would just be neat to hang on the wall. The fellow selling it had it stripped and couldn't figure out where this little funny looking piece of metal went, so I gathered up all of my various books on dis-assembly (he identified it as a Model 35 Remington, probably due to the small copy of a cartridge head on the receiver, and not as a Model 14). Turns out it was the cartridge stop that slid into the front edge of the receiver.
Anyone ever wonder about the spiral magazine tube on these rifles? That was a cool idea that prevented the nose of the bullet of a subsequent cartridges from contacting the primer of the cartridge in front.

Once was on a deer hunt with an adult man and his Dad. The Dad had a Model 14 in 35 Remington. After the morning hunt we gathered at the tent and unloaded the rifles. I watched the son unload his Dad's rifle. After he unloaded it I saw him work the action twice, then he handed it to me. I again opened the action, looked in it, and closed the action. I asked if I could try the trigger and he said I could.
We were hunting on a large ranch and across from our tent was a slope with cattle on it. It would have been so easy to have released the trigger of an empty rifle on a white face cow. Too many years of safety in gun handling quickly put any such idea, if it really did occur, out of my mind. I aimed at a clump of dirt, and by now you have probably guessed it. BOOM!
Shortly after that I read in a shooting magazine that one had to watch the Model 14 in 35 Remington. The article said they had a nasty habit of the last round in the magazine to sometimes hang up!
