Re: Mainspring Screw help

I was able to get it back together after dropping the trigger housing, it wasn’t difficult at all. Thanks to all for the advice.

Remington model 8 with no caliber marked.

How common are Model 8’s without the caliber being marked on the gun and WHY?
I have run across a few and just recently someone was asking on another site why.

I paid $120.00 and walked away with a giant smile and a great gun, the seller named the price and I couldn't get the money out of my pocket fast enough. There were three guys waiting for me to put the gun back on the ...
