What’s Included
- Remington Model 514 .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle single-shot bolt-action rifle
The Model 514 is a single-shot .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle bolt-action with a 1-round capacity. Its bolt-mounted rotating safety provides straightforward operation, and the full-size configuration offers a traditional handling profile for a mid-century rimfire.
The 24 in round, tapered steel barrel is blued with a plain crown. Sighting is handled by a dovetailed blade front and an open leaf rear with a step elevator, giving a simple, durable sight picture correct to the period.
The receiver is steel with a blued finish and a smooth top without integral scope grooves. A red-painted band on the bolt shroud is a distinctive factory detail that remains on this example.
The hardwood stock has a straight comb and uncheckered panels, paired with a black composition buttplate bearing the Remington logo. Length of pull measures 13.5 in, maintaining a classic full-size fit.
Built in the United States during the 1940s era and dated to 1949, this model reflects Remington’s production practices of the time. The factory did not assign serial-number blocks to the Model 514, and many pre-1968 rifles in this line were produced without serial numbers.
