Hello Rob, I noticed this tang sight as well. It was the first time that I have ever seen this type of base on a Lyman tang sight myself! The extra screw hole on the tail of the sight base has me baffled.

Thanks again for all the help & I appreciate the kind comments. I also appreciate Jim & Cam adding to the story! Regarding the added bonus that Cam steered me towards, during the quest for the POE magazine... Hey Bob,... I am going to have to have a talk with him about the early model 8 tha...

S and S HUNTCLUB

Good eye Cam! One peculiar thing I noticed about the rifle is that it's serial number puts it mfg in 1908. How many 1908 rifles have you ever seen with bottom tang metal buttplates? I did not pay that much attention to the butt plate when I was originally looking at this auction, but that is peculi...

This Remington Model 8 F in 35 Rem. #10994, sold yesterday (1/24/14 - Lot #. 315) at the Carol Watson Orange County Auction for $5,500.00 + $962.50 Buyer's Premium + Taxes, Fees, etc. The on-line auction had limited pictures and the wood appeared to have been sanded/refinished.

I looked at this post again today and I sure do like the FSMR and the Tommy Gun Carbine as well! Mr. Bob Breuninger sure does some fancy looking wood work for some of us here on the site. I do enjoy all of the post with the pictures and the great stories that go along with the photos. Bob has done ...

Hello everyone, I had a tremendous amount of help from some of the great folks here on "thegreatmodel8" site & without their help, this would not have happened for me. Here's the story about how it all came together. I purchased this 1931 Remington Model 8 35 REM. Peace Officer Equipm...

Dennis, I'll be the first guy to admit that I made a mistake. It's a damn shame that they're making $9.99 per picture, from photos that were copied from the great model 8 site. I did make a mistake & assume that the some of the pictures were copied from the great model 8 site. I apologize for m...

S and S HUNTCLUB

Well folks, I guess it does not take long these days, for somebody to copy and profit from the pictures that we all post here on the great model 8 site for our members enjoyment. I was conducting a search for " Remington Model 8 " accessories & I noticed that a bunch of the vintage pi...

Hello, Here's some information taken from the book "The Great Remington 8 and Model 81 Autoloading Rifles", by John Henwood, Page 233, regarding " Rechambered Rifles ". Judging by the location of the bulge in the barrel jacket, from the pictures I viewed from the original auctio...

Ian, That is a nice looking Model 8. Nice to hear that you're happy with it & rightfully so... its a beauty. Enjoy Life, Bob @ S and S HUNTCLUB

S and S HUNTCLUB

Congrats on a very fine purchase Joe! When you take a close look at the current market prices, the Model 8 itself is worth the figure you paid and then sum to the right buyer. Add in the Marble's rear flip sight & base, plus the Lyman tang sight and you gained an additional $200.00 in accessori...

Hello, Were you able to re-stock your Grandpa's Model 8 and surprise your 86 year old Dad for this deer season? I hope it all came together for you and your Dad.

Hello again & thanks for the kind comments guys! Joe, In regards to the Dutch Oven... I will certainly take your advise. We used them for many years in Boy Scouts, for many different meals. My favorite was the "Peach Cobbler"! Jim and Cam, You both know the history on the Model 8 POE ...

One day the conversions will all be originals. That is the sad truth Jim! Ten to fifteen years down the road someone will be fooled by the copies. It's just the sad truth. It's just part of the game in today's world with the original authentic firearms, demanding such a "High Dollar". It ...

Deer camp 2013 was a success! As it is every year, the food was great, the new Outfitter's tent was really comfortable and the firearms were a blast to shoot too! The weather was pretty bad for deer hunting in northern Michigan. The temps were in the mid 40's to mid 50's during the day, with 45 - 5...

Hello olskool, That would be great to hear back about whatever you may be able to drum up on these guys. I do not have a color photo, so the black & white is all you have to go by, regarding identifying the gentleman in the picture. Looking forward to hearing what you can find out. Enjoy Life, ...

This is a great piece of FN history! The rifle shows many signs of being enjoyed afield throughout its hunting history. The re-shaping of the wood is unique as well and we like the plain barrel too. Its a great find and we sure hope that you get the chance to enjoy it! Regarding the safety detent b...

Jack... First off, let me say this is a nice looking rifle, but it is my opinion that this Model 8 has been refinished ... judging by the pictures that you have provided. First off, If you zoom in & look closely at the pictures, you can see the polishing marks going in every direction underneat...

Hello Stu, Thanks for sharing the great hunting pictures of your family. Wow, what a blessing to have those photos to look back on my friend.

It would not have come from the Remington factory that way. It would be considered a parts gun, only because of the Model 8 receiver. We would hunt with it and really enjoy it!

Hello, At first glance both rifles appear to be Model 81's. The 32xxx serial number Model 81 in 300 Savage is indeed a 1947. However, the 30 Rem appears to be a Model 81 at first glance, but the serial number location on the bottom front of the receiver, tells us you have a 1909 Model 8 receiver in...

Thanks Jack! This rifle is a keeper for me, just because of the hunting scenes. The engraver must have enjoyed hunting, as much as our family does. It does not get any better, than a day in the woods with a vintage autoloader!

The gun porn as Cam put it, has got me all excited about the up coming deer season, so I added few pictures of the wood! The wood is in very fine shape and the wood grain just dances. This Model 8 has a very cool looking "blond" butt stock & forearm, which is a bit different look than...

Thanks for the kind comments guys! To answer your question Dennis. Yes, the Moose is talking on the phone, he's actually talking to the Bear, way over on the other side of the receiver! I got a good chuckle when I read that Dennis. That's the beauty of the "Folk Art" rifles. Everyone sees...
