Remington Model 514 .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle Single-Shot Bolt-Action Rifle | 24.75" Barrel, Hardwood Stock
The Remington Model 514 is a classic single-shot .22 rimfire rifle (Short, Long, or Long Rifle) produced from 1948 to 1970, and this example dates to the pre-1968 period—evidenced by its absence of a serial number. Built with a 24.75-inch carbon-steel barrel, a blued finish, and a hardwood stock, it offers the straightforward reliability that made the 514 a favorite for training and small-game work. A receiver drilled and tapped for 3/8-inch tip-off scope bases adds easy optics compatibility while retaining fully adjustable iron sights.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 514 bolt-action rifle (.22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle, single shot)
Produced during the mid-20th century, the Model 514 represents Remington’s answer to an affordable, sturdy .22 trainer. The single-shot action promotes careful marksmanship and easy safety checks—traits that endeared it to generations of new shooters.
This rifle features a carbon-steel receiver and barrel finished in Remington’s traditional bluing. While exterior wear is evident, the metal components remain mechanically sound, and the action cycles smoothly.
The 24.75-inch barrel delivers optimal velocity from standard .22 LR loads, and the drift-adjustable post front sight pairs with an elevation-adjustable rear sight for precise point-of-impact tuning. Should the owner prefer optics, the factory-drilled 3/8-inch tip-off mounts accept common rimfire scopes without additional gunsmithing.
The hardwood stock sports an oval pistol grip and 12.5-inch length of pull, offering a comfortable fit for youth and adult shooters alike. A simple manual safety provides an additional layer of control during handling.
