The Model 41 was available in two grades, A (standard grade) and P (Peep sight). Both grades had a 27 inch round barrel, one piece American walnut pistol grip stock with a beaver-tail fore-end and a shotgun style butt plate. The A grade front sight was a white metal bead and the rear sight was a step adjustable sporting type while the P grade had a hooded front sight and a Remington receiver mounted peep rear sight. Remington discontinued Model 41 production in December of 1939 after 306,880 rifles had been produced as it was replaced by the Model 510 Targetmaster. There were a small handful assembled in 1941 from leftover parts.

With a 27 in. barrel, this boomstick comes in at a whopping 44 in. long overall.
This specific rifle was manufactured Dec, 1936. (Refer to: https://remingtonsociety.org/manufacture-dates for the date codes.)
