Tried to post a pic of the book cover but it just isn’t going to happen. Shows V.E. Lynch shooting his model 8 using his pack basket as a rest, also has a bobcat. Cool pic the name of the book is they called him “Wildcat”

read this book many years ago but couldn't find my copy of it. I think it fell apart and i threw it away. Recently found a copy on Ebay. It is a true story of a Maine guide V.E. Lynch. He used a .25 Remington to shoot bear deer and bobcat in Northern Maine!

Recently installed a lyman tang sight on my model 8 in .35 Rem. It shoots about 6" to the right @ 100yd. everything seems tight and 6" is too far off to drift the front sight over without it being too far out of the dovetail slot. looks like I may have to put the standard iron sights back ...

This target was shot during the sighting in process with a lyman #41 I recently purchased. The group size is what I was most happy with!

Finally found some ammo for my pre model 8 Remington Autoloader. What a joy to shoot very little recoil and it seemed quieter so you could really hear the action working. the accuracy was excellent for a 106yr old firearm!

Found the Lyman 41R sight I was looking for now I need some mounting screws! I believe they are a #5 screw with 48 tpi. Checked Brownels and others with no luck. If anyone has some they can sell me or know where I can buy some that would be great!

Did any of us win the beautiful model 8 that just sold on JB for $1800.00? it was mine for about a day! lol

Springpoles, stovepipes, crowbars, and lady's of the woods are a few names I've heard Model 8's and 81's called anyone else have any other names for them?

My first deer! I shot it with a model 81 in .35cal while hunting with my dad and uncle DJ nearly 30 years ago.

built the display myself, figured I might as well be able to look at and enjoy some of the ammo I have been collecting!

another pic!

Another pic and a display case for ammo I've been working on filling. Those 25's are hard to find there going on the bottom shelf when I find them!

Its been a while since I posted but meanwhile I have picked up a few more 8's. A 35 on top a 30 another 30 with Krieger conversion followed by a 25 #3 grade!

my gun is in better than average shape it is a #3 grade in .25 Rem. Does anyone know the correct screw size for this sight and where you might have them made? Also is there an additional plate that goes between the sight and receiver of the #41 lyman sight?

looking to buy a Lyman # 41 sight complete with mounting screws to fit on my 1910 Remington Autoloader which appears like it had one on it before! I have a a Williams receiver sight I may be willing to trade.

I need 2 rear sight screws for my model 8 with a rear flip sight, the heads on the regular sight screws are too large so they don't work well, I need screws with a head size of .250!

I'm all set, I found the parts needed at Jack First! allitle pricey but everything looks good and fits good and I received my parts fast.

I just picked up a box of Winchester Silvertip ammo for $45.00, the box is yellow with a big Red W on it, I havent been able to find much info about it (aprox age) was wondering if this was the going price becouse I can buy 8 more boxes at the same place some winchester some remington most boxes are...

I am looking for an operateing handle bushing, operateing handle plunger, and spring for my model 8. Or if you have the whole handle with everything that would work allso!

just won Marples tang sight for it on ebay, now all I need is the ammo I ordered for it from Buffalo Arms and I'll be in business!

It is a 30 rem that was made in December of 1928! I cleaned it well, it has a nice shinny barrel and seems to function corectly. I have shot it once and it fired and loaded the next shell in properly but I did notice the the next shell it loaded into the chamber had a light dimple in the primer ware...

after a year of seaching I have finaly found a decent model 8, hopefully the first of many!
