Cool! Glad to see you're still kickin'!

Welcome to the site. Glad you are enjoying your "new" 8.

We need updated pictures!

I was Deer hunting, not Dear hunting. :o :shock: I meant instead of HER shooting the deer. She wants to shoot one. Even moreso, now. She has hunted before, mostly before we had kids. They are big enough now that we can leave them for a little while to hunt, again. Hopefully we can get her a shot thi...

A "visable" model 8! How Cool!

A BIG thanks to Al for the tutorial. Just awesome.

Thanks Cam. Sorry I haven't been as active around here lately.

I updated the original post with some more info.

I guess I didn't say it, but I was the shooter.

Fixed that in the OP

Thanks Mitch. That's actually a little older I540. Dad's had those a couple years and likes them.

Well, it's not a model 8, but it is a Remington automatic. Dad's 7400 in 30-06. This was a buck I killed in December 2011 on his property. Dad had him on camera several times and nicknamed him "Longtine." This is the first nice buck I, or anyone, has killed on their place since they bought...

I think I threw up a little....

Looks about as good as the Mossberg Lever action atrocity.

That beauty was pretty near me in Niceville, FL, too! Dang! Wasn't me, though...

Any 20 ga parts?

OK, so which one of you nuts bought it?

Very cool to see something like that on the market. I hope it's real!

.35 Whelen is simply the .30-'06 necked up to .35. It is in no way related to the .35 Remington, nor is it interchangeable. I'd stick to regular factory .35 Rem ammo with the 200 grain bullet. Buy the .35 Rem LeveRevolution ammo only if you enjoy contributing to Hornady's marketing manager's bonus....

Looking good. How does it shoot?
Glad to see you're still around. It's been a while.

I'm "pretty sure" it was the 1891 Argentine Mausers. https://www.libertytreecollectors.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=408&idcategory=5 It seems like it was a pre 1900 rifle that I remember. Looked up dimensions and the Argentine Mauser case head is about 0.016" larger, s...

Any clues as to where it came from? Region wise. A quick search shows a High School named for him (if it's the same him) in Marrero, Louisianna. "L. W. Higgins was named in honor of Lemuel Wallace Higgins, a Superintendent of Jefferson Parish Schools for 24 years." He had an M.A. from Tula...

Can anyone reccommend a gunsmith, or field service, manual for the Remington Model 11 from one of the sellers on Ebay? They have them for just about anything. Was wondering if anyone here had bought one and was it any good? I'm looking for something to help me with tearing one down and doing any rep...

not sold to me

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

I assume you need a whole assembly. They have the box, but no follower or spring. It's not cheap, either. I would be watching gunbroker.com and auctionarms.com for some parts, too.

Good luck with your search and project.

Sounds good.
Nahhh, really was "claiming" it before anyone stuck him to that price of $5. He's asking $35 plus the $5 for shipping. It's listed on the Remington Society forum.
April Fools was yesterday, so I figured this was just an honest mistake.

for $5 I'll take it!

Welcome to Long Recoil actions. The barrel will travel all the way back until the bolt reaches the end of rearward movent, as described, the bolt and barrel separate.

Good Lord, don't go grinding on those clips!!!

The ears are stops so you don't push the clip in too far. The rounds should be pushed into the magazine, stripping them off the clip. The clip is just to hold them together for easier (?) loading.

BTW, try resting the rifle on something soft (rolled up jacket, soft guncase folded in half, etc). That may be why your shots are high and right. Any rifle will tend to "bounce" off a hard rest like that.

Ha Ha! I dare ya to shoot my 35 Rem laying down like that!

Only once, I bet.

Looks like fun. Keep her running.

Mitch, and all others: Please let any of us moderators or administrators know when this stuff comes up. I have a Blackberry now, so I was actually deleting stuff when I was alerted Sunday AM, while in Sunday School...Not Fun! I think someone else was deleteing at the same time. It's a blessing and a...

Welcome and thanks for your posts. I really love the Model 11's! I'm a model 11 nut. Most recent has a Factory vent rib and Cutts comp. Really looks like a dedicated skeet gun to have those options. It's a 1948 production, so last year. It's a Sportsman (my first sportsman, all the others have been ...

The brown bad sling is cheap and easy, too. I have used it on my 1895 Winchester. Would work on the model 8, too.

1 - Model 8

Dang Pack, that's tough. Sorry to hear that.

the little 'ears' located in the middle of the clip are stops, so the clip doesn't go in too far.

But of course. And my Model 141 pump, my 1895 Wichester (repro) in 30-06.
The 141 is scoped, so it goes more.

take off the forearm. If there is a 3 or C you have a "C" grade, 4 or D for "D" grade, etc.

Why do you think it's a higher grade?

I can't wait to see the modified Police 81! ha!

Really cool. Stayin tuned to see critter pics.

Brown Bag Sling

What an odd picture. Hamer looks totally disinterested and disconnected from the others.

Hinton looks like the kinda guy not to cross!

Gault looks like a mean little cuss, too!

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you got the bug. Good.

Where's the pictures? It didn't happen if you don't have pictures!

That is some Sweet Sweet Music.
Oh I miss the sound of dogs working like that. We used to hunt deer with beagles when I was younger. It's been 15 years since I've dog hunted. It was a blast.

It's still cool as all get out. Best Idea I can come up with is to go back out and shoot it some more on camera with your glasses on, that way you get to shoot it more, and we get to watch! Cool stuff. Keep us updated on the 35. Should be a stomper!

Now that is COOL. Congratulations on the build, and Thanks for sharing.
BUT- put your "eyes" on next time you make a video, gotta set a good example.

Welcome to the site. Nice early 8 you have there. Even better it has a history.

Maine is a pretty neat place. Went there 3 years ago. Drove up from Boston, so got to see a lot, from the Interstate, anyway. went to Schoodic Lake, NW of Bangor. Had a good time.

http://www.gunsmagazine.com/1959/G0759.pdf

GUNS puts their 50 year old magazines online. On page 4 is a little blip about the Model 8 in the "My favorite gun" section.

Pretty darn good movie. The wife even liked it. A good amount of model 8 time, but I didn't see one fired. Would have liked to see the old horse in action! There were several model 11 shotguns on screen too. Thompsons ruled the day, but there was a couple 1907 winchesters, they were even mentioned b...

Well??? The movie is out, who's seen it?? Report??

I plan to see it tomorrow, so I'll let ya know.

must be a "C" grade. It's sure is a good looking rifle.
Nice checkering, too. I like it.

FALSE!!! You can HANDLOAD 357 pistol bullets (the projectile, not ammuntion) into 35 Remington cartridges for lower power plinking type loads. There is load data in reloading manuals for this. The 357 Remington Magnum will not fit properly in a 35 Remington chamber. Also, it is 0.358 inches in diame...

You got a great deal on that shotgun. Did the seller ever have a response about the bad spots? Not yet. Only response I got was the response to the "B" grade feedback. I haven't gotten any feedback for myself, either. Couldn't have got my payment to him faster, and it was a PO Money order...

Since we don't have an "other Remingtons" section, I'll put this here. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=129636998 I'll post the link, because I haven't taken better pictures, yet. This gun has a factory installed Cutts, so was most likely a skeet gun. It's in terriffic sh...

Would be nice to have this tool available. Could it be stamped "Not Original" or something to preclude it from being passed off as a "fake"? maybe a current date stamp, or "Made in China"!!!

Welcome to the forum (and the disease

)
Check out the Gallery on the main page for some pictures of Police guns. I know there are a few owners on here.
Have fun, aske questions, and post plenty of pictures.
