striker308,

IF there is a serial number, it should be stamped on the receiver, and most probably above the wood line...! !

Serialization of rimfire rifles was not required by Law in that period; are you sure they were serialized...? ?

 

The idea of not having a serial number crossed my mind. At the time of manufacture, I did not think that they would be serialized. After looking at the website, and found out they had serial numbers 001- 307,000, it made me so curious, I had to know!
So I took it out, and very carefully examined it. I found it, front, left, and bottom, of the forearm, on the barrel. It was so lightly stamped, I had to get a magnifying glass to read it clearly. Or does this mean I am getting old??
Thanks for trying to help, Mike, I appreciate it!!

 

"...does this mean I am getting old??"

Not unless you had trouble finding the magnifying glass.

Remington model 41 targetmasters were not required to have a serial number. The number that you found is a production number. i have several of these rifles and they all have production numbers. i believe that remington was not required to put serial #'s on there guns until 1967, but dont quote me on this. there should be a letter under "model 41" indicating the year it was produced. hope this helps

 

Production #s were not stamped on the M/41. The very earliest may not have had serial #s, but they were stamped in mid-1936 and after. Rem put serial #s on all rifles starting in October 1967 to comply with the new laws that started in 1968.

 

The serial number 1612XX is clearly stamped on my 41-P (barrel code of March 1937) just to one side of the bottom of the barrel just ahead of the stock. Since the 41 has the barrel and receiver machined from a single piece of steel, there is no need for a SN on the receiver. I'm afraid I can't say whether the standard 41's had a SN or not.

 

serial #

All 41 Rems. I have seen have the number on the bottom of the barrel usually just ahead of the stock. I have seen a few with the number on the bottom but back far enough that it is under the stock fore end.
One I bought at a gun show cheap I had to use a bronze brush to get the crud out to see the number.

 

I have one, the first year and a half or so didn't have serials, the rest did. But... since the receiver and barrel are one piece, it is in a weird location. Take the gun out of the stock, look on hte bottom of the barrel just about where the stock ends, and you'll see it... if yours is numbered. Mine is 4120x

 

41 Rem.

The one I still have is a 1937 (af) and has the number partly covered by the forend. The number is 1551xx. Never had one not numbered, but never had one newer than early 1937.

 

41's

good day all:
i have a 41p,date code kf(may 1937) with a serial #456xx. and a 41,date code be(jan 1936) with serial# of 051xx. both have the serial # under the forend of the stock. both are great shooters and a lot of fun.

Will pull my "regular" 41 out of the safe and see if it has a serial number. If it does, I havent seen it. I think the date code is a 39 model. Had it out a couple of weeks ago, a fun shooter! TB

 

Should have one, should be just under the end of the forend on the bottom of the barrel.

 

Anyone know where I can get a bolt for 1 ?

 

Am I the only one that notices over nine years between posts?

 

Some body found the search function??

Hey, no question goes unanswered here !!

 

Remington Target Master Model 41 Serial number location

My Model 41Targetmaster, which was my great grandfather's, has a serial number located on the barrel just in front of the stock foregrip.

 

The Model 41 serial number is at the front of the stock hand grip on the left bottom of the barrel in Plainview
