36 cal ?

Post by muskieman »

I am a new member to the forum and recently inherited a 1941 mod 81. Please forgive what is the first of most likely several newbie questions. The rifle seems to be clearly stamped, 36 REM. Is that possible?

I've seen a few of the "5" stamps that from a distance could appear to be "6's". For the record there was no "36 Rem" caliber. I'd be interested in seeing the stamping on your rifle.

And by the way, congrats on your new-to-you Model 81
