The Remington Model 14 stands out in early 20th-century rifle design for practical, user-focused innovations that remain interesting to collectors and shooters today. Its compact takedown capability and thoughtful safety measures make it both a historical piece and a functional platform for those who value mechanical ingenuity.

REMINGTON 14 — a pump-action repeating rifle designed by John Pedersen — integrates a rare spiral magazine tube intended to prevent bullet tips from contacting the primer of the cartridge ahead of them. This spiral magazine moves with the fore-end when pumping the action and is loaded through an opening in the magazine located between the fore-end and the receiver. The bolt features an unlock button accessed through the ejection port, though firing the rifle automatically unlocks the bolt. As a takedown rifle, the REMINGTON 14 uses a single knurled screw on the left side of the receiver; withdrawing that screw allows removal of the trigger group and buttstock from the bottom of the gun.

Design and mechanical advantages

From a tactical and maintenance standpoint, the spiral magazine is the signature feature. By eliminating straight-line stacking that risks tip-to-primer contact, the REMINGTON 14 reduces the chance of feed-related detonation problems and improves safe handling of pointed bullets. The moving magazine tied to the fore-end simplifies feeding geometry and gives a positive feel during cycling.

The bolt-unlock button accessed through the ejection port is an uncommon convenience on period rifles, and automatic bolt unlocking on fire adds a layer of smooth operation for follow-up shots. The takedown system with a single left-side knurled screw makes field stripping fast and tool-light — useful for collectors who also like to test-function an historic rifle.
