Re: Model 81 on GB

I don't know if the stock is factory, but I have a Model 8 made in 1922 with the same compass in the same location as the one shown on GB.

Re: 6 Model 8s for sale at online/live auction

The D Grade sold for $3000.00 + a 5-15% buyers premium. I don't know but that seems pretty high.

Re: 32 REM Model 8 Krieger?

81 Police
After looking at the repair stamp magnified, it is a lightly struck W U with another W U over it. Thanks for confirming that it is a Krieger conversion.

Re: Receiver Sight ID

Thanks for the Hatcher info. The sight in the Hatcher pic looks like a Redfield or Lyman sight. I also found a pic of an original US Army "Trials" Rifle in this post, http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5332&sid=b47de87357e1db9dd0817a7a7872bbc0 (pi...

1908 Model 8D With Leather Take Down Case

1908 Model 8D .35 REM With Leather Take Down Case by AL Furstnow. There are mailing/shipping labels on the back of the case but they unreadable. Wish it could talk. I don't believe the front sight is original. https://i.imgur.com/awdGA9e.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EUrX55g.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TsG52G...
