Hello, The problem you're having is most likely debris in the butt stock action spring hole. Take a long straight faced screw driver and drop it in the action spring hole of the stock. With moderate pressure, spin the screw driver to loosen the excess debris that is at the base of the action spring...

You're welcome Bob. The EE designates that your rifle was made in October (E) of 1936 (E). The first letter is always the month of the year. Remington used the word BLACKPOWDER and added the letter X to the end, for the 12 months of the year. The date code BLACKPOWDERX was started in 1921. There's ...

Very cool old Remington. What you have there is a "First Year Production" 1936 Remington Model 81, (Serial #989) with a Lyman 41 side mounted receiver sight. The Model 81 was not offered in the 300 Savage caliber in 1936. I'm assuming that you determined the 1946 year of production by the barrel co...

Wow olskool, Your cabin is absolutely gorgeous. I've been a custom home builder for the past 27 years and I can certainly appreciate the time and effort it takes to create a "work of art" like that. Very nice job sir. It's Perfect! Thanks for sharing the pictures. Enjoy Life, Bob @ S and S HUNTCLUB

S and S HUNTCLUB

Cam, I hope I'm not correct. I would like to see the rifle relisted & the auction run its coarse on GB, just to see the real market value. Let's hope that isn't the case. It was a good looking rifle and it would have brought some big money...considering folks are spending $2,600.00+ on standard Mod...

The auction has been ended. The seller was a New Register (NR) on Gunbroker.com. My guess is someone got ahold of the seller, gave them a song and a dance over the phone and got this rifle way below market value. The rare & hard to find Remington Police Model 8's & 81's and the F.B.I. Model 81's al...

A very unique model 8 indeed. It would be a great deer rifle for the Michigan woods. Enjoy Life, Bob @ S and S HUNTCLUB

It appears to be the hammer end of the firing pin to me. The groove to the left in the picture, appears to be the groove/slot for the firing pin retaining pin, that holds the firing pin in place in the bolt carrier. Your rifle may have had the firing replaced at some point in time and this portion ...

Hello, You could try Vintage Gun Grips. I have purchased the hard urethane reproduction butt plates for the Remington Model 8 from www.vintagegungrips.net in the past.

Hello, Your model 8 receiver previously had a Weaver #4 side mount base ($12-$20 w/S+H) attached to the receiver. The Weaver #4 base accommodates the Weaver Detachable Side Mount with 1" Rings ($27-35 w/S+H). This is the easiest scope mount set-up to find for the Remington model 8 & 81's and it is ...

A friend of mine calls his model 8... "The Dirty B _ _ _ _". The last word is not appropriate to write in on the forum, but you can fill in the blanks. His rifle is a dirty ol' rifle, but it does the job.
Enjoy Life, Bob @ S and S HUNTCLUB

S and S HUNTCLUB

Wildgoose, That will work just fine, as the bolt carrier and bolts are the same on the model 8's and model 81's. However, I have noticed in the past that firing pin lengths will vary. Therefore, once the new firing pin and firing pin spring are installed, "push in" the bolt carrier latch spring and...

I agree with you, about how the stories add to the fun. The thrill of the chase is always exciting too.
Congrats again on a cool piece of Remington Model 8 history.

Wildgoose, That is a neat Model 8 and a great story that correlates with the September, 1930 (DY) date code on the barrel. However, the method used for the inscription on the receiver, is a tell tale sign that the inscription was done in later years by one of its previous owners, to perhaps commemo...

This was a sweet project. I recall being contacted by Tom via email and he wanted to resurrect his Model 81 that was in pieces, so that he could use it for hunting.

The serial number dates the receiver to circa 1909. The K E indicates May (K) of 1936 (E). Does your barrel jacket have engraving as well?
