I was told about this site by Hardrada55 over vintage semi autorifle and thought I'd check it out.
I recently inherited my grandfathers old Model 8. It's in real nice condition.
I want to learn more about it. The serial number is 149xx. It's the .35 Remington version as well. The action is well worn and smooth, but no cracks that I can see. The stock is in perfect shape too, nothing more than two small dings.
I'm just waiting for a nice weekend so I can go to the range and see what she can do.
