Remington M-41 .22 rifle
The .22 Remington M-41 I bought today has a little wobble in the cocking piece knob/safety. Is this normal for this model? Can it be tightened up, or is it a "live with it" thing? Thanks.

I just went and looked at mine, and it has that little wobble also. I say its nothing to worry about, live with it. Since I don't really trust the safty(it does work, its just a little differnt) on this model, I'll leave a round in the chamber and cock it when I'm ready to fire. But something to be wary of when cocking it. Make sure you pull it all the way back and you hear it "click". It is capable of firing if you pull it back and let it go. These are some good ol' and very accurate .22's. Your gonna like it.

Thanks for the information. I thought maybe the looseness was functional but wasn't sure. I just didn't want it pulling loose and maybe letting the gun fire by accident. I really like this .22. I've already got it cleaned and test fired. I don't plan on using the safety either. I checked the barrel code; mine was made in Sept 1937, an oldie but hopefully a goodie. 0 -
You got me curious,so I just checked my 41P. It has the wobble,too.Maybe they were made like that,I've never had a problem with mine. It's a really accurate rifle. 0 -
Where did you date your gun? I'd like to do that with mine. You are knuckle-dragging ape with a gun.0 -
On the left side of the barrel is a 2 letter date code. Look at the woodline almost under the "Remington" trademark. The first letter is the month code, use B-L-A-C-K-P-O-W-D-E-R-X, B is january, L is February, etc. The second letter is the year. Look closely, the letters are very small.
E=1936
F=1937
G=1938
H=1939
I= No I code
J=1940
To find the entire code do a search under Remington barrel date codes. Some sites have it complete, some only partial.0
