Sweet! The extra 719,587 rifles should bring the price way down, on the other 4,913 FN Model 1900 rifle's. If any one can find the other 719,000 + rifle's, it would be Jack. Maybe he can get the dirty 12,000 now! Thanks for the good chuckle Huges! In all sincerity though Huges, welcome to thegreatm...

Hello sir, The Remington model 16 has two screws on the forward front left side of the receiver. The bottom screw is in an elongated hole. When the screw is slid towards the rear, it moves the plunger backwards. This will enable you to twist the front barrel assembly and detach the barrel. Check ou...

Hello, They're some folks out there that'll tell you not to add any additional holes to your rifle's, as that can hurt the value. Maybe so, but my opinion is that if you favor the Redfield and/or Williams peep sights, then go ahead and install them. I have a Model 81 Krieger in .300 SAV., with a Gr...

There's an "Old School" box of Peters HIGH VELOCITY 200 Grain 35 Remington "Metal Cased" on GunBroker right now. I do not know the seller. The box is very nice. The brass may have some split cases from the looks of the pictures that the seller provided. http://www.gunbroker.com/...

Hello sir, I just replied to your email question. I think you have purchased a unique piece of Remington history. The steel shotgun style butt plate is a rarity with any Model 8. I also feel that the omission of the cheeks during production of late 1916 through 1918 Model 8's was a common practice ...

I bought the first edition many moons ago. Apparently, the first edition was produced in very limited quantities. My copy is an autographed copy, signed by John Henwood. On the inside first page, it reads as follows: 176 of 500 TO SAMUEL S. ROSS, JR., A FELLOW REMINGTON ENTHUSIAST. Then, The signat...

What's your point here with this auction reference? It looks like a rusty old throw down. Are we missing something here. Please explain the significance of this pistol.

Hey Roger, I just sent you some extra pictures that I received from the seller. It is my opinion...judging by the pictures, that the metal finish is original. The pitting area under the safety lever has been touched up with a bluing pen in my opinion. You'll only see that when you're firing the rif...

I just absolutely love this picture! Three Elk, three goats, plus a Mule deer and a Stake Bed truck. How cool is that? That is a family photo to cherish for sure! You just know these guys were some serious hunter's, not only by the game they bagged & the rifle's they carried, but the "We m...

Great advise Joe. I would agree with Joe regarding installing a scope mount on a Model 8 or 81, that was not already drilled and tapped for a particular scope mount. I myself actually prefer to hunt with a Model 8 or 81 that has a scope. To answer your question tjmga62, The vintage scope mounts &am...

S and S HUNTCLUB

Hello sir, We have had several emails / conversations regarding your issue at hand. It appears to me that the rifle has been dry fired, as you can see the hammer resting against the back of the bolt carrier assembly. I can not see any sign of the safety rocker in the pictures you have provided. The ...

Hello chickenpants, Sounds like your friend made a nice purchase. I personally think that $1,500.00 would be a steal on a Model 81 Special Police without a magazine. They have fetched $3,500.00 in past sales without the 15 round magazines.

After seeing the additional pictures that "chickenpants" posted after my first reply, I would have to agree with Cam that this rifle does have some authentic looking features. The fore-end, the condition of the wood and the sling eye-lets certainly appear to be factory work. I also noticed...
