Welcome to the forum and model 8's...you will want more ("jackitis")!

Great job on fixing the messed up wood....looks good.

Welcome....and congratulations on your grandfathers Model 8. I also inherited my grandfathers Model 8....it is stamped 25 Rem on the barrel extension, but he had it changed to 30 Rem...re-bored. It is a rifle that I dearly cherish, and hunt with.

Enjoy your new acquisition.

Went to Cabellas today, and traded my Ruger Red Label 12 gauge over/under for a Remington 11-87 12 gauge semi-auto Upland Special with an English butt stock, with a 23" barrel and screw in chokes, and CASH!!! I felt that the Ruger was too expensive a shotgun for field use, and I prefer the semi...

ctgodog

I like it though!!!! For 1/3 that price!!!!

Clint

That'll burn up some ammo, and your shoulder for sure.

Way to bring it in to the center of the target Mitch.... I need to do a little more adjustment on mine to be that good....I had some groups in the 2" range, but ran out of time.... going to go out and sight in a couple more as soon as the weather gets a little better....woke up to a couple inch...

ctgodog

Ditto on the welcome..... Glad to hear that you found the rear site for your new 30 Rem. That is a pretty important part of a functional rifle. Have fun sighting it in. It's great that you got the seven boxes of ammo for it. I was able to pick up seven or eight boxes of 30 Rem last summer. I am alwa...

Hi Keenan, Nice looking 30....I have two model 8's manufactured in 1907 and 1911. The 1911 30 Rem was my Grandfathers' that he hunted with for most of his life. The 1907 is one that I stumbled on at my local gun shop. Love to shoot both of them. I also have a 1949 Model 81 that I purchased on Gunbro...

This beautiful example of a Model 8 25Rem sold for some very nice $$$$!!!

Did someone here on the forum get this one? Sounds like it is in mint condition.

Congrats to whom ever was the successful bidder.

Thought that I would point these out....in case anyone (Mitch) was interested!

Clint

ctgodog

I can't believe that Mitch and everyone else missed out on this one.....Looks to be all original except the stock refinish.

Outstandingly written article and a project that is so cool. Great end result. Congrats to you Jack for taking the initiative to do something a little different.....as is normal for you, I guess. I envy you and your collection, and your intuitive imagination, and the guts to "get-r-done"!!...

ctgodog

Sweeeeeeet!

Clint

ctgodog

Mitch, Thought I would let you know about the gun and knife show this weekend, at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, in Roseburg, Oregon. I am thinking about going on Saturday, "to just look"!!! BUT,you are probably going to be busy bidding on the Rem 14 on Gunbroker this weekend. Good luck!!...

ctgodog

That is a very rare specimen indeed....don't think I would be interested if it was across the street!!! But, it could be a good shooter.

Clint

ctgodog

Going on Gunbroker this afternoon starting at $5, with no reserve.....here is your chance Mitch.

Gun"BROKER".....the more I look the "BROKER" I get....now I get why they named it that!!!

Clint

ctgodog

That is a nice looking Rem 14....the purchase price is now $435 as of yesterday...and that includes shipping.... After looking at all the 14's and 141's on gunbroker, I feel very fortunate to have gotten the Rem 141 in 35 Rem that I did for $455...it is all original and very pristine, with a deluxe ...

ctgodog

Did anyone on the forum happen to snag that one?

ctgodog

This one went for a nice price.....I liked it at the very beginning of the auction, but didn't think it would go that high!

Enjoy....

If the rubber recoil pad is a detraction and is old , hard, and cracked, a replacement with an aluminum butt plate like 81police suggests would probably be an enhancement...pictures would help us be more helpful. If it was a factory original butt pad, would it have a Remington insignia on it? I woul...

ctgodog

Yeah....everyone thinks original is better....I have three old cars, and every one of them has been repainted, and the new paint is way better than the old paint. Better product, and better looking, not to mention better protection against the elements. If you are going to keep and preserve, and use...

Joe,
Thanks for the pictures, and the links to your websites. Lots of great information there...a well organized and easy to use website...ordered a book and a subscription to the Upland Almanac. Looking forward to enjoying them.

Nice looking rat terrier in picture #3....I raised rat terriers for a few years....own the last two of the pups that I produced.....they are a great pleasure to me when I am hunting.

Clint

Welcome Timberhunter, Hope that you enjoy the forum. The guys here are very knowledgeable and helpful. I am from western Oregon, and the blacktail deer hunting here is mostly short range shooting also. The mulies in eastern Oregon in most cases require a little longer range shooting. I prefer huntin...

ctgodog

Wildgoose, I think you are correct...it appears that the barrel is from a 141.

He has another 14 in 32 cal that has the correct barrel and front sight.

Big difference.

I can't post pictures......but here is a link to the pictures on gunbroker....

IT IS AWESOME IN EVERY WAY, if I didn't know better, I would think it was new. Action is tight, metal is almost perfect....(better than I expected), bore is excellent, wood is just like new!!! I do not think that I could do anything to it to improve it!!! It shoulders really nice....can't wait to ge...

Happy belated birthday Jerry.....wish you many more!!!!

Just picked up a Remington made Browning A-5, in 16 gauge, with a Weaver choke system. It also includes 5 weaver chokes. A little finish flaking on the heel of the butt stock, but that I can fix. The guy has owned it for the past forty years. Can't wait!!!! http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem....

ctgodog

Just want to say how much I appreciate everyone here who participates in all the discussions......and wish everyone a very
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! You have all been very helpful!!!!

Clint

ctgodog

Looking forward to receiving mine real soon....and see how it shoots. I really like my Remington pump 22lr, which is of the same design...hope this Rem 141, 35 Rem is as sweet to shoot.

Clint

ctgodog

Mitch,

Is this the book you were thinking about?????

http://www.remingtonsociety.com/rsa/books/Remington14

Clint

ctgodog

Mitch...let me know if you find the book on the 14's and 141's, as I just won a bid on a 141 in 35 Rem, with a date code of DU U. I tried to look up the date code on the remington society charts, and near as I can tell it is a Sep 1949 manufacture date. Not sure if I am reading it correctly though. ...

ctgodog

Wow!!!! Isn't it nice to find these old girls in such nice shape....and at a priceless bargain. You did well. Any one part of that rifle is probably worth more than what you paid.., but all together, well, who knows....

By the way, welcome.

Clint

ctgodog

Very nicely done!!!

Clint

ctgodog

Both!!!

How good are Weaver chokes in comparison with polychoke and cutts?

STLmodel8,

Welcome to the forum....nice looking rifle. What caliber is it? I also have a 1907 Model 8 in 30-30 Rem. This is a neat forum, with a lot of guys with a LOT of knowledge.

Hi Jim, and welcome.... I also have a 1911 Model 8,30 Rem, that my Grandfather hunted with for most of his life, and my father for many years. I also hunted deer with that rifle this year, in honor of my grandfather and father, and its' centennial birthday. Welcome to the forum....there are a lot of...

ctgodog

This one is getting some major attention.....

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =260985062

Wouldn't mind owning it, but it is way to nice, (and probably end up way to expensive), to use in the field.

Clint

ctgodog

What is the difference between the two manufacturing locations, in regards to functionality and quality? Is there a difference? Belgium seems to demand the premium in price, but is there really a difference? Other than bragging rights.? Japanese products can sometimes be a far superior product..... ...

Maybe he owns and runs it.....

Very interesting and informative Dwalt. I totally understand the statistical analysis of what you are saying, as I studied and loved the subject in college. Your development of the program to do this, however is way out of my league.

This is really a neat study.

Jack, that is absolutely,stunningly, awesome!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful one of a kind, diy project (with a little help from friends), and simply great idea!!! You should be very proud of yourself. Very unique and classy.

I know that this a 8 & 81 forum, but as rifle enthusiasts', and collectors, I know that we all collect a lot of different rifles and pistols!

I agree with Dwalt and Imfuncity, I also think that the stock lines of the 8 are sleeker than the 81 pistol grip. Having made that statement,...and checking the rifles in my gun cabinet....every one of them have the pistol grip stock except my Model 8's and my Rossi 22 LR pump. I still stand by my p...
