I am having to sell a model 14A Remington in 35 Rem. caliber. It was handed down in my family and I got it in 1968. In think sentimental value is clouding my value. It has minor surface pitting from being gun cased except for cleaning 1 time a year. The action is VERY smooth. It also has some notches on the butt from bucks killed. Any value opinions would be greatly appreciated. The serial # is C 24298Thanx

added Hawk is correct the others are even smaller and yes its a lot of work to make them from 06.
It is an odd head diameter not used by anything else I can think of.
As suggested, the 35 Remington brass cases are plentiful. Check for them on Midway's website, and scoop up a bunch. Anything that can be turned into the 35 Remington case, is much more expensive, and/or time consuming.
Almost any cartridge that can be made from the 35 Remington brass, except the 25, 30, and 32 Remington, can not be turned into 35 remington. All of the others, require removal of material, that cannot be added back on.

EDIT 1
quote:It can, and has been made from 30-06 cases..
The head would need to be swaged down to .453 diameter, trimmed to 1.92, and then full length sized in a 35 Remington die....
The head detail, cannot be merely swaged down, as that would weaken the internal web. It has to be turned down, along with the rim/groove detail, in a lathe, by someone experienced enough to do so.
quote:You can NOT turn the 25, 30 or 32Rem cases into 35Rem brass (not to mention that those 3 are much more expensive than the 35 is). Going the other way, 35 into the others, is also not a practical conversion.
The 3 share a .419(ish) rim and a .415(ish) base (ish being production tolerances), while the 35 has a .455 rim and a .453 base
I stand corrected. For some reason, I was thinking they were all based off the same case.

I have used 6.5 Carcano before; because I'm cheap, when one has a split neck I size down to .35 Remington without the expander, then trim and fireform.
