Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Sir, I’m sure that if you decide to sell your family’s heirloom, that some one here will be glad to buy it from you. My father passed away recently and I now have his guns, besides my grandfather’s guns too. These are precious heirlooms for my family. I am very lucky to have 3 sons and 3 grandchildr...

Roger

Hey Jack,I think it’s too late! Congrats on a great find. The 35 is definitely taking over as the king in M8/81s. If you need any advice about hunting or reloading this caliber,send me an email.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Happy New Year to everyone!
I wish all of you a safe year ahead and a good solid case of “Jackitis”
Thanks for your time

Roger

Well fellas, I can’t say that I’ll be sorry to see 2020 go. But there are always things to be thankful for, even in the toughest of times. I praise God every day and thank him for all of the blessings in my life. Having lost my Father only a few months ago, this Christmas season will be a tough one ...

Roger

Welcome aboard, glad to see that people are still interested in the model 8/81s. I’ve been a hunter/shooter all my life. I’ve been collecting JMBrowning designed guns since 1983. The model 8 is one that has grown dear to me over the years. Members here are helpful and friendly. If you have questions...

Roger

Hey Carl,
I don’t have any contact information on you. My email address is on my signature box.Maybe we can work something out.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Sir, I also have used the ftx bullets to reload for 35 Remington. Also used the Hornady factory ammunition. They all worked well in my m8/81s,several different ones. I’d definitely recommend it for deer hunting. It kills them right now.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

So maybe it was discontinued between 1927 and 1932. I’m sure coyote hunters loved that round. However it must not have sold very well.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

I’m sorry,but none of my books even list this 110 gr. Loading. The earliest book is 1932. So it may have been discontinued before that.
Roger

Roger

Hey Carl,
I have 2 that I will sell. I have a nice figured early one that’s not for sale now.
Mike has already spoken for the refinished one, but no money has been discussed. They both have buttplates that are probably numbered to the stock.
Send me your email
Roger

Roger

Hey Mike,
I’ve got some m81 stocks.I have not looked at them in a while. One is original for sure. One is refinished. I may have more. I’ll have to look.
Roger

Roger

Sir, I’ll send an email.
Roger

Roger

I may have that info in one of my old books. I’ll try to find it for you.
Roger

Roger

Sir, What caliber is your rifle ? I may have a complete barrel and jacket assembly for 30 Remington. I think I also have some barrel jackets/jacket extensions. They might not have barrel addresses that match your serial number, but they would help you get it shooting. Let me know if I can help. Than...

Roger

Sir, Be sure to look at the juncture between the barrel jacket extension and the barrel jacket. If it’s been repaired incorrectly, that may be your problem. Look for signs of welding/ braising, or soldering. This was sometimes done by people who didn’t know what else to do.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Hey fellas, I’ve been lucky enough to own a few 25 caliber Remington model 8s. They are really pleasant to shoot. Since my retirement, I’ve sold a couple to a fellow member here. But I still own 4, that are not for sale at this time. They’re a joy to own and shoot. They’ll become my three sons probl...

Roger

I’ve purchased M8s with the mag spring installed backwards before. But I’ve never had one break before. There are always first times for everything though.
Usually they just fail to load/ eject correctly. You can look that tidbit up in Henwoods book.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Hey fellas, Ihavent posted anything for awhile. But I see some of my friends posting and I must reply. Always be careful of any ammunition that is marked differently than your gun is. That being said, many brass cases are re purposed into some other caliber. If you’re unable to get the correct 35 Re...

Roger

Hey fellas, I’ve had some interest in my rifles. Actually have one 32 caliber round knob sold at this point. However I still would like to sell more pieces. I would really like to sell the whole group to one person. If any of you guys out there know of someone who might be interested,please give the...

Roger

Hey fellow members,I also have quite a few boxes of ammunition for the model 8s and 81s. Factory and reloads both . All calibers .
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Sir, It’s probably a red field. Watch eBay and gunbroker . They pop up from time to time. I’ve had several over the years. I don’t have any right now that I would sell.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

I’m retiring soon and would like to sell off some my model 8s and81s. I haven’t done anything yet ,but if some member is interested, I will definitely talk to them about it. My email address is raw4555@gmail.com. Feel free to email me if you’re interested. There are round knobs,flat knobs, straight ...

Roger

I'll have a Krieger conversion model 8 for sale soon. It is a round knob, in 35 Remington. It's in better shape than most m8s that are it's age. I'm retiring soon, and will be selling quite a few 8s and 81s
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Hey,Cam,I sure hope to meet your father someday. He sure seems like a guy I would want to know . Can’t wait to see the rest.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Sir,
I have several tang peep sights for Rem.8s How much do you want to spend?
Please email your response. My email address is found below. Don’t send me a private message. I never look at it.
Thanks Roger

Roger

Sir, I have several hunting grade model 8s. Or at least one possible parts gun.
I also have many parts ,barrels and jackets,etc. Don’t respond by private message here, I never look at it. My email address is in the address box below my name.
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

Sir, You have an early 81 in what looks to be excellent condition. It’s always hard to tell from photos,but this one looks original to me. I have an early 81 in just about perfect condition also,except in 30 Remington. I would sell mine ,but not for any less than 1000.00$ In my humble opinion,you di...

Roger

Welcome aboard

Everyone here is friendly and helpful.If you need help just ask.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Hey CAmeron, Thanks again for posting this new Christmas story picture. I laughed out loud when I saw it.. Merry Christmas to all you fellow members.
Thank you for your time,
Roger

Roger

Hey fellas, I finally looked at my ammo in 32rem. The cartridge length varied from 2.530-40" with Hornady 170 jsp bullets. Once again,it varied from one rifle to the next as to which one shot the best groups. I hope this is helpful to those guys that are still able to hunt with these rifles. Our Dnr...

Roger

Sir, I have shot many deer with my model 8@81s in 32rem. One loading that seems to work well for me is Hornady or Speer 170gr jsp bullets over 31.5 gr.of 3031. BLC2 also worked well especially with the Hornady leverevolution 165 gr.bullets.,with 31.3 gr. Cartridge length escapes me as of this minute...

Roger

Hey fellow members, I look at the forum four or five days a week. I don't make too many comments any more. I'm not sure why. But I don't have the desire to correspond as much now that I'm close to retirement. I'm not hunting much anymore so it's taken away my desire to develop new loadings with new ...

Roger

Welcome back,old buddy!
Roger

Roger

Being bored to tears last night,I decided to watch the Hamer movie again. I wanted to see what,(if anything) I missed in details. The first thing that I noticed, was in the gun shop scene. There are 2model 8 Remingtons, on the gunracks behind the counter. There may have been more. You really only ge...

Roger

Hey guys, I actually watched the Hamer movie twice this weekend. It was great entertainment. But I'm pretty sure they took some artistic license with their version of the story. As far as who used what firearms at the ambush, we'll never really know the true answers. All of the participants who were...

Roger

Hey guys,
My latest m8c has #2-6-9 installed. I'm not able to say when they were installed. It is pretty cool that this set is on this c-grade.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Sir, I'm not perfectly sure,but it looks like the Tang peep sight is a Lyman. It appears to be in decent
shape. And I have to concur with Jack on all the rest of the gun.I hope it shoots as well as all the ones I have.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Well Jack, I m rarely at a loss for words,but in this case, I don't really know what to say. I will say that I feel good about being able to count you as a friend.Congratulations on a great collection.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Hey Carl,
I was wondering if you sold either of your Lyman 41 sights.My email is in the address box below.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Thanks to 81 Police for posting these pictures. Also thanks to all of you who have said such nice things about the newest addition to my collection. I've already got one C- grade model 8 in 32 Rem. So this one in 35 Rem is a welcome addition.My goal is to get one in all 4 calibers. I'm halfway there...

Roger

Hey fellas, The Remington Autoloading Rifle ad at the top is one of the more rare ads that I own. It's from 1906 and I've never seen another one in person. I found the American Field paper,(it is just a newspaper) in an antique mall here that doesn't even exist anymore. I'm lucky enough to have a Br...

Roger

Hey Rifleman, I go to every Des Moines fairgrounds gun show if possible. My email address is in the address box below my name. Email me to make a plan.Id enjoy meeting another Iowan who likes JMB designed guns.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Hey guys, Due to the severe winter weather here,my m8 c is still not here. The USPS was closed for several days and it has really delayed the delivery. I'm hopeful that I will see it soon. It appears to be in Iowa now at least.
Roger

Roger

Hey fellas, I've been lucky enough to locate a C- grade model 8, and tentatively have purchased it. 81 Police and Corey Creamer have helped me with their expert opinions, and now it's the old waiting game. I'm pretty excited to get a round knob C grade in 35 Rem. Of course I won't be able to know wh...

Roger

Hey fellas, I put this collage together many years ago.I have collected old gun ads for 30 plus years. It finally occurred to me that some members here might be interested in this. I asked Cam to post it and so he did. Thanks to him for everything that he does to keep this forum/website going. Feel ...

Roger

Merry Christmas to all my fellow members of this forum.
Here's to a happier new year for us all!!
Roger

Roger

Hey Jack, Looks like you've done it big this time.I'm sure that I'm not the only member here that's in awe of this rifle. I have always believed that any FN1900, in this country, represents a "Holy Grail" of Model 8/81 collecting. However I've had to re think that belief,after seeing this rifle.I wo...

Roger

Wow, and I actually got to hold it in Kansas City! Glad I was able to go there again. I can't wait until next year s show. Any of you Midwest guys on this forum, should really consider this show. Thanks again for keeping tabs on this rare piece for us all here on the forum.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Sir,
Thanks for your continued work on this auction.It was great just being able to see this rifle in person and actually getting to hold it. It's going to be fun to see how high it goes for in this auction. And once again, thanks for your time.
Roger
