Re: Another new guy
First I want to correct an error on my part. In the picture of the 8/81's, I gave the wrong numbers. I have seven model 81's and four model 8's. I had stated it vice-versa. From the request of my first reply, here is my story of how I became familiar with the Remington Semiauto rifles. When I was a ...

Re: THREE DIFFERENT FOREARMS ON THE MODEL 81
No, the forearm seems to be completely factory and matches the butt stock. I can send more pictures of the gun if needed.

My other hobby.
Stained glass custom work. This one has about 850 pieces of glass in it.
I put the youngest son through college doing stained glass at night after work and on weekends.
Still trying to get some action on this forum.
I will send something new tomorrow.

THREE DIFFERENT FOREARMS ON THE MODEL 81
I said that this forum does not have enough activity for me. I was so excited to find this site. I will try to post something new each day to pep up the post. I have attached a picture of three of my model 81's. The one in the center has the "flat side" forearm, but it is the same length a...

Re: Another new guy
Oh, I did not mention the little Remington model 25 pump rifle in 25-20 on the left side of the picture. I have had that one since a kid.

Re: Another new guy
I unloaded the rack, and put in the other Remington semi-autos. There is nine model 11. I only have the newer models with the trigger guard push pin safety and the roll engraved receivers with the ducks on one side and pheasant on the other. I have the 20, 16 and 12 Ga in the model 11(5 shot) and th...

Re: Another new guy
Here is a picture of the group. There are seven model 8, two with scopes mounted. There are four model 81, one with scope mounted. I will buy rifles with the scopes in tact, but avoid the ones with just holes drilled in them.

Re: Model 8 serial numbers.
You guys will get tired of me. I forgot to let you know it is in 35 Rem and the barrel date code is AE (March of 1936).

Model 8 serial numbers.
Henwoods book list the last serial number for the model 8 in 1935 to be 68841 and 640 rifles manufactured in 1936. That would make the last serial number for 1936 to be 69481 and not 69581 as shown and duplicated on this site. Then the last serial number for 1937 to be 69485 after adding 4 rifles wh...

Re: Another new guy
The 1/2 rifle that I own is complete. I gave it to my middle son last year, but may ask for it back at any time. It was a well cared for, but very used 8 with straight stock and in 35 Rem. I have four other model 8's, but all have the semi pistol grip stock which is suppose to be rarier.

Another new guy
Hello from another newby. I have been collecting these rifles for about 6 years. I have 7 of the 81's and 4.5 of the 8's. I have Henwood's book and have spent many hours with it. I won't make this post too long, but someone needs to remind me to someday post how I became familiar with these guns, so...
