I bought this nice Model 8 32 Rem awhile back and thought I would share a pic. The thingy that looks like a safety is pulled straight back to release the clip. I like it and hope you do too. Dennis

Jack

I forgot to add my first thought seeing the symbols that it might translate to a good luck hunting Talisman. Dennis

rem81auto

Jack, I put a few feelers out on a couple other boards where their are some pretty smart guys. I had more than a few people think the symbols on your FN may be from the ancient alphabet >> " Runes " <<. I guess if you think it is worth the effort google Runes and start searching. Dennis

rem81auto

Jack,

I can't help with the markings but I can offer congrats on another nice addition to your collection. Dennis

rem81auto

Cam, well done. I for one appreciate the work it took to put it together. Dennis

rem81auto

I'll bet it's the same gun. I remember it had another problem or so ??. I saw it early and thought it abit overpriced but it did change hands to another dealer ... maybe F.A.B can confirm he was with me.

rem81auto

If it's the same rifle I saw at the Louisville gun show a month or so ago it most definitely has a chrome butt plate.

rem81auto

I am at a show last weekend and walk up to a table. The guy has a Western Standing Bear box of 30 Rem Silvertips. I ask how much ? ... he says make an offer ? ... I say I don't know ? ... he says gimme $3.00 ! ... I say I guess I'll take em.

Good to have you back. Mitch

Nitroman,
Good luck that's a nice one. Dennis

rem81auto

I have a few 8's in 35 Rem w/metal buttplates .... keep looking they should not be that hard to find I would think. Dennis

rem81auto

Does anyone know if this poster has been reproduced. tks Dennis

rem81auto

A prize indeed. I bet it will be awhile before another shows up. I wish I could have walked into his shop a week ago.

rem81auto

Here's my favorite. I shoot Sporting Clays and hunt with it alot ... it will never be for sale .... 12 bore Prussian made by H. A. Lindner 1890's * imported by Charles Daly.

rem81auto

Hi Clint, tks. I always learn something here. Dennis

rem81auto

Here's another sight I found and it's basically the same as the sight posted above. The sight is clearly marked on both blade and base " Lyman ". Dennis

rem81auto

NO LONGER AVALABLE

rem81auto

Cam, you are welcome to use one of these sight pictures for the gallery if you want to. Dennis

rem81auto

I think it is very nice !!!!! congrats

rem81auto

I bought this rifle last week because I thought the rear sight was very cool. I didn't pay much so at least for me the decision was easy. I will remove it replace with another factory rear sight and most likely sell it. I will not charge extra for the custom buttstock :shock: The sight has no markin...

What sarge said +1. tks

rem81auto

Cam, sounds great. I will look forward to Bob's Disassembly Video. I have a set of his Pro Tools but have yet to try them out. Dennis

rem81auto

Well, I crapped out on the 3 lots I bid on too. I submitted my bids by phone a couple days ago and lost an item for the same high bid I offered to a floor bidder ... what's up with that ???. Dennis

rem81auto

Nice set especially the C. Dennis

rem81auto

avery,
I think if it were mine I would have a good welder fill in the holes with a mild steel/coat hanger. I would than dress down and finish with 600 grit paper and do a Cold blue or Blue Wonder touch up. I bet it would look a thousand percent better. Dennis

rem81auto

Well, you will never have to worry about the action over heating from rapid fire shooting

... too bad because otherwise it's a very nice looking rifle. Dennis

rem81auto

Seller ("win6798" on eBay, jhulett@chartermi.net - maybe an old email address ??), on ebay makes and sells them.

I saw this past weekend while working a show an outstanding painting. The piece was painted by Frank Stick ... google for more info .. he did a lot of contract painting's that were used by the big sporting magazines for cover art. I liked this one because it clearly depicts the hunter carrying a Rem...

rem81auto

Ken, nice case they are hard to find. I would suggest you get some Blackrock leather conditioner. The treatment is not an end all cure all problem solver but it will help in overall appearance and slow the deterioration process. Dennis

rem81auto

Ahh, Nebraska one of my very favorite upland hunting destinations. I guess I had been out there at least 20 times. The nicest people on average I have met anywhere ... what part of the state are you located ??. Dennis

rem81auto

Great info, tks for responding Jack. I am aware of the 1/2 grips and have yet to see one of those at a show either. I do have a C Grade Mod 8 1/2 grip already. Dennis

rem81auto

Got this 35 Rem Model 8 with pistol grip awhile back and thought I would share some pics. I don't know about the rest of you guys but I have yet to even see a PG Mod 8 at a show for sale. I got this one the hard way @ auction .... are they that seldom encountered from your experience ????. Dennis ht...

rem81auto

gunny,

Looks like you found a nice one. I hope you enjoy it. Dennis

rem81auto

Tks 45guy.
He seemed cheerful enough today we talked cartridges and he asked about the Michigan weather and Detroit Lions ... nice guy. I ordered 3 boxes of 25 Rems. Dennis

rem81auto

I have to admit that unfortunately my pictures make the reblue job better than it is in hand. The wood refinish and checkering aren't bad. Dennis

rem81auto

Bought this 1909 C Grade this past weekend ... no mask this time Mitch but I think I paid more than enough. The rifle has been redone front to back. I would not normally buy a redo but it was in 25-35 Rem. I am thinking it might be fun to shoot... we'll see soon. Dennis http://www.sportingcollectibl...

rem81auto

Pretty Cool, Joe

. Dennis

rem81auto

Anyone ever buy 25 Rem's from them ... if so ... any good ???. tks Dennis

rem81auto

Hi Joe, and welcome. Dennis

rem81auto

Has survived but barely... pretty nice huh ?? :shock: :lol: . I bought this last week. I seem to be on a crusade to save these relics one by one. I am into it pretty cheap and I think I might throw afew $$$ at it and make it a shooter. I just can't leave it as is. Dennis http://www.sportingcollectib...

rem81auto

Borrowed from another sight I frequent:

I use a hair dryer to facilitate oil removal. The heat causes the oil to come right to the surface rather quickly, and I wipe continually with a rag soaked with alcohol.

More drastic methods are out there if you case is extreme.

rem81auto

Mitch,
I thank you

, for caring and trying to bail me out but I think I will pass for the moment

. Dennis

rem81auto

The Creamer clan has chimed in via email and Bob's opinion is while not a true 81B there is a good possibility that the checkering on my rifle is factory. I suppose we will never know for sure. I want to thank everyone for there thoughts. Dennis

rem81auto

I bought this 81 300 Sav. >> w/Kreiger conversion last Sunday. The rifle is >> NOT << stamped 81B. I am seeking opinions on whether or not the checkering looks factory done .... it does have #3 stamp factory return that I guess ??? a case could be made that the checkering was done than. I only paid ...

rem81auto

I also collect high Grade English/Euro SideXSide shotguns including a nice Purdey. I have NEVER balked at taking it or any of the others Grouse/Woodcock hunting through some of the nastiest cover you can imagine rain or shine. The prices of the Rems are nothing to those mentioned above. I have a rac...
