Joe, I think someone took your rifle apart and put the magazine spring back in ass backwards. I have the same problem on one of my shooter's. Dennis

Clint, I have Henwood's book for sale on my website. tks Dennis

rem81auto

OK, here's the dates. The 2 early 8's only 400 numbers apart date to 1908. The later 35 Rem. dates to June, 1929. Dennis

rem81auto

I didn't buy 40 but I did get 3 Model 8's. The 3 are in different Cal's 25/35 Rem. / 32 Rem. / 35 Rem. Dennis

rem81auto

I would attend.

rem81auto

I never really paid much attention to the underside of 8 forends but they can sure be different from one to another. The FE on the left has a raised wood bridge. The right has a stamp of the letter ' N '. I looked at another 8 yesterday that had 3 numbers stamped on underside of FE that did match th...

I have seen one 81 with that done. I have no idea who did the work.

rem81auto

norm,

Thanks for the additional information.

ironwood8959,

You did fine on your purchase IMHO. The tang sight alone would bring $125.00 or so if you could find the missing part.

I would have walked out the door with it too.

I have a Parker D Grade 10 gauge that would look good on your web site. I could make you a heck of a deal on it.

I'm listening send me an email. Dennis

rem81auto

Hi Jack,
Operator error posting pics ... it's not for sale. I will however trade it for either one of your E or F Grades though. I will even let you choose which one.

rem81auto

The rifle has deluxe walnut wood,not standard grade with checkering which is often the case on C's. It has a pistol grip which was extra. It has the rare ribbed crescent butt plate. Also, it's in the second rarest caliber of 32 Rem.... I like it !! :D Scroll down to last gun on the link below http:/...

rem81auto

Joe, I hope you can make the Southern it's the best SXS Show going IMHO. I will look forward to seeing you again. Dennis

rem81auto

Hey Joe, Dennis Wolfe here we used to see each other at the New York Vintager's Side X Side Shoot if you remember. I would set up with Carol Barnes of Gunnerman Books.

rem81auto

Merry Christmas everyone.

P.S

Cam, cool photoshoped pic ... you got a smile outta me

rem81auto

are we from trying to put together a Buy/Sell/Trade Show. I would volunteer to host a Show here in Michigan but suspect the way we are scattered across the country distance might be a big problem .... your thoughts ???

rem81auto

I bought another Model 8 this past weekend. The rifle has this neat Marbles E-6 front sight. I am still abit of a rookie collector and have never seen one other than book pics. P.S Cam, you are welcome to use this picture in the sight picture Gallery. http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL763/4281410/90...

rem81auto

I am looking for old or reproduction .... What ya got ?? plz send description and price ... dennis@sportingcollectibles.net tks Dennis

rem81auto

How come everyone is sending emails and not taking a shot at answering the man's question. I would like to see some opinions on Police gun values..... no emails plz

rem81auto

I am a far cry from being an expert but I don't buy that checkering as factory done ... not for a second.

rem81auto

WOOOOOOOW, what a transformation. Philip you did a great job bringing the rifle back to life.

rem81auto

I've had this a little while and just now got around to taking a couple pics. The gun is nice but about VG condition. I am glad to have one. Tks for lookin. Dennis

rem81auto

Jackpot indeed, very cool to have a Model 8 with that low serial number... congrats RF.

rem81auto

The $306.51 sight sale IMHO was a perfect storm for the seller. I think 2 guys that had to have it got into a pissin contest. I watch some auctions and they seem to end in the $125.00 price point on average.

rem81auto

The hardness of primers are different from ammo companies.... ar you using the same factory ammo as you were when you had no problems ??.

rem81auto

It's about a 95% in 35 Rem. The guy I bought it from would not let me drop the safety lever for fear of scratching the action frame. I hope you enjoy the pix. Dennis

rem81auto

I have Henwood's book in stock if you need one.

rem81auto

45guy,

Please don't make yourself crazy on my account. I am in no hurry. Tks again, Dennis

rem81auto

45guy,

I could use a couple. tks Dennis

rem81auto

Wes,
I agree with everyone that you did a nice job on the restock.

I hope you have not tossed the original wood. I can give you some names of people who do amazing work and could bring it back to where it would be very difficult to see the repairs.

rem81auto

Screw received, tks Joe. Dennis

rem81auto

late 20's Model 8 with wrap around steel cresent type buttplate. tks, Dennis

rem81auto

Yes it was RIA. I had to have it.

rem81auto

I just got this Model 8 35 Rem. last Friday and it is a beauty. I would grade it as Exc++ and it will go nicely with the minty 2nd year production Model 8 I bought earlier this year.

rem81auto

" Cheap " the more dents the better. I could even use the cut off tubes from the carbines you guys have been making if you have not tossed them. tks for looking, Dennis

rem81auto

JJ,
I believe the artist is Philip Russell Goodwin.

rem81auto

This would apply to 8's and 81's. I sold my 300 Sav. 81 and everything I now own are 8's in 35 Rem. I would like the boards consenus on what's been the best shooting over the counter Ammo for deer hunting. The brand name , bullet weight etc. tks Dennis

P.S
I have no intention of reloading.

rem81auto

I asked the same question awhile back .... we are still waiting for more pics ...HINT HINT

rem81auto

Cam,

the buttplate consists of a piece of leather and lots of nails ... nice huh ?? ... it's one of the many reasons why I call it " Poor Thing ".

rem81auto

Boy, some of theses guns go through alot. I bought this early 8 (*45850) for parts. I know the butt is trash but I have a couple questions for curiosity sake. The forend is smooth but the butt is checkered and appears to be correct in style at least ?? ... The cheeks have a unique shape and are well...

rem81auto

Jack, I was referring to this notch ??

rem81auto

Jack, you're the man. I like them both alot and your picture taking abilities are just fine ... what's up with the notch taken out of the forend on the 300.

rem81auto

I would prefer the variation with the barrel rib ... plz send pics and price. I can easily be contacted through my website listed below. tks

rem81auto

Very nice congrats, I want one too but can't seem to get lucky finding one.

rem81auto

a period correct gun case for the Model 8 ... if you have ... what ya got and let's see some pics. tks Dennis

rem81auto

Ok Guys, here's a few pics of my new Model 8 35 Rem. I just picked up this past weekend. The rifle dates to 2nd year production and is in about 95 % original blue and the wood near the same. I would guess 8's in this condition are seldom found. I have my doubts as to whether it's ever been shot. I k...

rem81auto

Get on the edge of your seats. I am picking up a real screamer this weekend. I will post pictures Monday and I think you'll like them.
