It won't be of any help but I'm posting a couple pictures of a 14 1/2 carbine in 38-40 I have. It was in bad shape when I found it but the bore was fine so I had Charles Danner reblue it and I did the wood. The story I got was the man's Uncle was a deputy sheriff and had used it in a robbery shoot out where several bad guys bought it. I really enjoyed seeing your and Sarg's rifles, I love the old remingtons. I have seen several old West Virginia prison issue guns and they were the old Winchester 351 self-loading rifles.
