Question about an inherited gun

My great uncle, who died a while back, left an old gun, and I'm wondering about value.It is a .32 Remington pump made by Remington. The foregrip has deep ribs in it. I realize that it is a very outdated caliber, and was wondering if anyone knew of a collectors market for such a gun. I'm sorry, I do not know the serial number of any other detail about the rifle, it isn't with me at school.
When you want to dial long distance...AT&T, .223, or Jeremiah 33.3?

    Sounds like you have either the 14A or 141A model of Remington. The slide grip on the 14A has "grooves" about a half inch apart while the 141A has them real close together.Either one has a price (dealer) around $300. The best way to get a fair price for your rifle is thru an internet auction. Gunbroker.com is probably as good as any.

    I have 6 of those old Remingtons, three or which are 32s. They were made in both the model 14 and model 141 and chambered for the 25, 30, 32 and 35 Remington. A few were chambered for the 300 Savage and a sub-model was chambered for the 44-40 and another caliber I can't remember at the moment. They were a finely built old gun, especially when compared to the later Remington slide actions. I am afraid they do not as yet demand very much collector's value. I just lost a bid at the auction for a bunch of 32R brass on the auction, if you are interested in reloading for it, let me know I can give you some hints. Best, Ed

    We did reload for it. I've got a bunch of brass for it, and also a die set. My Great Uncle, who hunted from his wheelchair after polio left him crippled shot a lot of deer with it. I would put the condition at about 75%. it is well used, but functions flawlessly.I'm not positive that we are going to sell it, but I was interested in the value. We may keep it around as it would be a good gun for a small framed twelve year old to carry to the deer woods. The recoil is light, but it is as effective on deer as a 30-30 or similar caliber.

    Also,The grooves are very close together, so probably a 141A. The grooves are over 1/4 of an inch deep, which always struck me as odd woodwork on a gun.
