Hey Buddy,

Lots of luck in finding the clips. Many of us are looking for the clips and they are hard to find. I would almost say non-existent. Keep trying. Welcome aboard.

Hey Guys, I am at it again and need some help. I would like to buy 2 barrel assemblies for the Model 81 in the 35 caliber. I have two decent receivers but the barrels assemblies leave much to be desired. You know the usual badly pitted barrel and poor rifling, rust and dents in the sleve, sloppy re-...

Floyd,

I forgot to mention that if you want a good resource on these rifles, buy John Henwood's book "The Great Remington Model 8 and 81". It has a wealth of information and is well illustrated.

Stripper clips are very hard to find. The last one I saw was going for $35. Good Luck.

Hey Floyd, Welcome aboard. You are among a good group of guys who love their 8's and 81's. If you have questions, ask and someone will give you an answer. I have a lot of questions and I get good feedback. A lot of the guys use photobucket to get their pictures posted. I have had difficulty getting ...

There was one on one of the auctions a while back that had a left handed Monte Carlo stock. It just didn't look right on these old rifles. The seller indicated that they had made the changes because he was left handed and the Monte Carlo felt good. The wood on it was sure pretty!

Hey Guys, What a way to start the new year. Happy New Year To Me! Patience pays off for me and I am glad that it has been rewarded. I finally found a Model 81A .30. I have been looking for a .30 for sometime and have passed on some nice rifles. This rifle was in a private collection for over 40 year...

Hey Guys, I am trying to locate a detachable 15-shot Magazine for either the Model 8 or 81. I know they are to find but I can't get one unless I ask. I know the price for them are high, but I am willing to give top dollar for one to work on a project. If you know of any leads as to where one can be ...

jack1653

Hey Guys, I must have too much time on my hands because I have been thinking of another project to work on and I need some advice. If I am wasting my time or compromising the integrity of the Model 8, let me know and I may stop wasting my time on this idea. I know that there are several members who ...

jack1653

Hey Cam, Good Job. I know you have to be very pleased to see the project completed. I am still expermenting with finding a suitable substitute for the nut removal. I have the Winchester wrench and it is okay. You may have seen my latest posting where I have attempted a different approach that works ...

jack1653

Hey Guys, They say "necessity is the mother of invention" so I did it! I figured out a way to get the barrel nut off of the barrel without damaging, marking the barrel, nut or the jacket. After I had made all the measurements, I made the tool in about ten minutes. I have tried it on severa...

jack1653

Please note the issues about the barrel stamping and give me your thoughts and opinions. I want to acknowledge Mr. Jeff Pajtas of the "S and S HuntClub" and his brother Bob for their assistance in getting the rifle. This Remington Model 8 is serial number 59! The previous owner took great ...

Hey Fellas, I am going to try to show some pictures of a Model 81 .300 Savage with a detachable magazine. It was thought to be a Krieger, but after close scrutiny of some pictures I sent to 81police, he determined it was not a Krieger, but an otherwise good conversion. I want to thank 81police for h...

Howdy Again, My last post looking for a rifle resulted in success, but at a price! I learned from it; You don't know until you ask. Sooooo, I am asking for your assistance again. I would like to find a Police Model 8 & 81. I have talked with 81police about this and know that I am pursuing a diff...

jack1653

Howdy, Here is another question from a guy who is still learning. I was talking with a guy the other day about the Remington Model 8. One thing led to another and he asked me if I had a Model 8 in the .300 Savage. I said "No, I didn't know they made a Model 8 in .300 Savage". He told me he...

jack1653

Hey Cam, I enjoyed reading the new information about Frank Hamer. I would think that setting the record straight is good. It certainly helps those of us interested in the history of these rifles to know what the facts are about the various options and features of the rifle. A good job of investigati...

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the help in locating one of these hard to find rifles. A special thanks to model8man who gave me the lead from an old Gun Broker posting. One down and many more to find.

Hey Robo, Birds of a feather do flock together!!! I use to do stained glass for stress release when I was working in the healthcare field.

Hi Robopump, Welcome aboard. It is always good to get new guys with new thoughts and ideas. You have some nice looking firearms. How long have you been into the 8's and 81's? I, for one, will be looking forward to some of your tips on tearing down and cleaning these rifles. I am interested in the ol...

jack1653

Randy, Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know the seller's name or code name used on Gun Broker? If I can identify the seller, I might be able to backtrack and do a search for that seller and dro[ him an email. Did you happen to ask any questions of the seller when you were bidding? I know when...

jack1653

Hey Guys, I am looking for an older Model 8 that has the 25-35 on the receiver. I am told there are some out there but I haven't had much luck in locating one. I chatted with "citori" on the Cabella's forum and he indicated they are very hard to find particularly since you can't get ammuni...

jack1653

Hey Kody, What a great looking rifle. I am sure you are proud of it. I read about the FBI model in Henwood's book but it left me with more questions than answers. I will be anxious to see what you and 81police can put together on this rifle. It would be nice to know if there are other FBI issued rif...

jack1653

Hey 81Police, Are you the new owner of this rifle? If you are, I want you to know that I feel better about the bidding process at Gun Broker. I still have reservations about the sellers reservation to answer questions and that was the main reason that I quit bidding. If you have some additional pict...

jack1653

Hey Mark, I have sent you an email. I look forward to hearing from you.

jack1653

I bid on that gun! I quit at $824.30. The bidding was strange and I felt it was being run up on me. Anyway, I went past my limit given the fact that some of questions about the gun left me concerned. It was a "buy as is, no inspection and no return. I have been burnt on a few auctions like this...

jack1653

Hey Griz...Is this for sale???? I looked at the gun, but couldn't figure out how to inquire aout the web page. Any suggestions?

jack1653

Hey Guys, Thanks for the thoughts. I have been one of those NR bidders and hope that I haven't caused any difficulty. I don't know how you get rated unless you are successful in the bidding process. It seems to me that some auctions aren't as important as others and you don't run into the bidding is...

jack1653

I'll be looking for that information when you post it.

jack1653

Hey Guys, I am sure many of you search the web for opportunities to acquire items of interest. Have any of you had issues with Gun Broker and it's bidding process? I have had some issues with them and I don't know whether it is my inability to use their processes or if their are issues about this pa...

jack1653

Hey, Thanks for the additional information. Every little bit helps. I am going to spend some time this winter trying to refine this tool and see if I can come up with something that all of us Remington 8 & 81 users can use. It is just hard for me to believe that there isn't something out there t...

jack1653

police81, Thanks for the reply. It was not my intention to question your decision and in fact I respect your reasoning. Having a friend take the time to re-create such an item like the "barrel wrench" is truly a labor of love and commitment. The thing that I do not like about the Wincheste...

jack1653

I recall seeing an article about the barrel wrench in a manual about dis-assembly of the Model 8. If someone can get me the dimensions of the wrench or an acurrate facsimile of the wrench, I have someone that can fabricate a model and I would make it available, unlike the fellow in the other article...

jack1653

If the barrel wrench is not readily available, what are people using in its place? I would hope there is something available other than a pipe wrench and vise grips!!
