I have manuals for the Remington 81's. They're 8 pages with the parts breakdown, list of parts, how to etc. You get two manuals, one early Model 81, one late Model 81. I also include two extras! A rare 4 page copy of Remingtons "Special Sights for Rifles" and a two page "Model 8 High ...

Well, I see some "lucky" individual won it for $175. If they don't use it for a shooter, project builder or the like, I suspect it will be back around the block for yet another ride! Remcrazy And look what I just ran accross today. http://www.proxibid.com/asp/LotDetail.asp?ahid=1242&ai...

I purchased a model 8 sometime ago and never checked the butt stock. Rifle came out of Minnesota. One day, I decided to take off the butt plate just out of curiosity. Mmmnn, something in both holes!

Hello Clampdaddy! Sorry to hear you too had this same bad experience! What a shame these folks have to treat us like dirt! Well, they are just hurting themselves for a lot of future business. I have since spent the summer in my woodshop building custom jigs and tooling to make forearm stocks for the...

Wow! I can't believe how many of us have checked out this particular Remington! I too emailed/questioned all the possible aspects of this rifle. The seller stated he would not remove the butt or butt plate to verify their serial number. I asked twice, one on each auction! The reply was the same, he ...

I recently purchased a Remington Model 8 reproduction butt stock from "Gunstocks, Inc out of Bedford, Iowa. This was to be a semi-finished stock. The top & bottom grooves cut for the upper and lower tangs were so far out of alignment the stock would not come close to sliding on for fit/fini...
