As far as I know, it's still available.

Yepper. Still available and reduced to $35 SHIPPED.

Yep! A big ol' brain fart. I cut and pasted the text from the Gunbroker listing and forgot to include price on forums.

This is a very nice, lightly used stripper clip for the Remington Model 8 and 81. It is marked .35 CAL. over .300SAV. Asking $35 SHIPPED. Paypal or USPS MO only.

I purchased an aftermarket rear sight for my Model 8. It is unmarked, but is similar to a Lyman No. 25 base with folding leaf. The barrel sleeve has two holes that have inserts that seem to be unthreaded and wiggle around in the holes. The sight came with screws, but I am at a loss as to how to moun...

81police:
The tabs on the clip will not fit through the notched guide in top of receiver. When the clip stops at the tabs, there is about 1/2 inch between it and the top of the magazine. This allows the clip to pivot as if on a gimbal, making it next to impossible to neatly charge the magazine.

There are several variations of 8/81 stripper clips. Your clip sounds like it was made for a Model 81 (being marked .300Sav), but I have never seen any fake copies made with the proper caliber markings...at least not yet. Sometimes clips from Model 30's can be mistaken for 8/81 clips, I believe Pet...

OK, so I paid a pretty penny for a vintage stripper clip to go with my Model 8 in .35 Rem. Got it today and the little tabs on the side are too wide to slip down into the chamber. :o It is marked on one end: .35 CAL. .300 SAV. Is this a Remington product or some aftermarket job? Also, is this a comm...

Beautiful rifle. I echo the thoughts on restoring original stock. My first recently acquired Model 8 also has the Williams sight. I did not know until the above post that it had non factory holes drilled for it. Bummer.

I know these things are scarce and pricey. Can a more readily available and less expensive stripper clip be modified to work in a MOdel 8 .35 Remington?

As far as collector grade guns go, as a rule you want to leave as much in original condition as possible. With some guns, this even includes built up gunk and frozen parts, as the process of cleaning modifies the original finish to some degree. Certain kinds of surface rust can be removed with oil a...

I recently bought one with SN 69508.

I purchased a Marbles tang sight for my Model 8 in .35 Rem. that is missing its aperture. A guy makes modern replacements in different configurations and aperture sizes. I can get one with a .040 aperture for fine longer range sighting. What dia. aperture would be optimal for quick snap shooting?

I have a Marbles tang sight to put on. I need a Remington Number 68 rear sight and a new front - either Marbles #6 or Rem. Number 69,

My Model 8 that has no rear barrel sight and a damaged front sight (Marbles #6). Can anyone suggest a source for locating replacements?

Bought some reloads at a gunshow and took rifle to range today. At 50 yards I was not impresed with my shooting. I felt I was holding the same sight picture, but hard to be sure. Majority of shots grouped in about a 4"x5" cluster a bit high and to the right. I shoot single shot BPCR woth v...

Might I suggest that you try the Williams before removing it for the screw-up Marble. I have had good luck with both. But one time, I had two rifles that looked the same, were the same caliber, but one had the peep (Redfield) and the other the screw-up tang (Marble). I found that on that particular...

Couple more pics.

Just received my first Model 8 Remington in .35 Remington! :D It is in pretty decent shape, with over 95% finish remaining on metal (my estimate). Wood has been refinished and has a shiny varnish. I will strip that and oil it. No rear sight on barrel, but has a Williams peep. Plan on replacing it wi...

Hasn't happened with a Model 8 yet (though my first one is on the way as I type this), but my fullstocked Husqvarna sporting rolling blocks get the same reaction.

Since I am soon to take my first dive into the world of Remington Model 8s, I want to keep all options open. The .35 Rem. is still loaded commercially. A plus, as is the larger dia. bullet. Brass for the .30 Rem. is available, but no loaded ammo. Brass for the .32 Rem. is available, but is formed fr...

I have been watching this auction, too. Looks like somebody is going to pay alot!

New to this subject. I have always like the looks of the Model 8 and Model 81. The Model 8 is a much sleeker rifle, but I understand it is a bit more fragile. I found what I think is a C Grade Model 8 at a local shop (rounded pistol grip). Just how prone are these things to breaking? Other than the ...
