Re: Remington M14 1/2 on British sevice.

Curl,
The Remington Model 14, introduced in 1912, and was chambered for the Remington cartridges developed some years before, the .25 Rem., .30 Rem., .32 Rem. and the famous .35 Rem.
They also develope the M14 1/2, almost the same rifle but chambered for the .44-40 and .38-40 Winchesters.
Production of the M14 1/2 cease about 1920 IIRC and the M14 was replaced by the M141 by 1936. The Remington M141 was little heavier than the M14 and have some shortcuts to reduce production costs.
Three of the Remington cartridges emulate some Winchester cartridge (were almost identical)but rimless. The .25 Rem. the same ballistic as the .25-35, the .30 Rem. as the .30-30 and the .32 Rem. as the .32 Win.Special.
Thanks for your interes
Martin
