Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2013 7:31 pm
Hey everybody, I just received my new rifle (new to me) and I'll be posting some pictures of it this weekend, when I have the extra time to take pictures and post them. It's a very unique Model 8 in 35 Rem and I'll share the rest of the story, with pictures soon. Stay tuned in folks! You won't want to miss out on seeing this "F" grade.
Ok guys, Here it is... It's my new my new 1911 Remington Model 8 "F" grade in 35 Rem. I call it my "Folk Art" rifle! Hence, the "F" grade for "Folk Art".
This rifle sports a factory checkered English walnut stock that is numbered to the rifle and the feathering in the wood is really beautiful. The barrel jacket is a factory engraved jacket from a 1908 Model 8. The rest of the engraving is what I refer to as "Folk Art" !
The "Folk Art" engraving in no way mimics the factory engraving found on the barrel jacket, but this rifle has it own unique flair! The wildlife engraving consist of a Buck & a Doe breeding on the left side panel of the receiver (Wow, you don't see that too often & the first one that I've seen), along with a bull Moose. The right side panel has a Bear and a Hunter holding the barrel of his rifle, with his "Harvested Buck", hanging from a tree. The top of the receiver has a Wolf's head and the rest of the receiver has Pine Bowes, Pine Cones, Oak Leafs and scroll engraving. I think this rifle belonged to an Old Indian Chief, named "Two Deer Breeding".
The rifle was very well cared for throughout the years and it sports a Lyman Express two leaf rear sight and a Marble's Sheard front sight. The bore is crisp and clean too. I can not wait to put a few rounds down the pipe!
I want to give a very "BIG Thank You" to ROBOPUMP, for giving me the heads-up on this one. I truly appreciate it Rob!
This rifle is going to see the northern Michigan woods this coming deer season and it has found a new happy home.
The rifle is just a very unique "Folk Art" Remington Model 8, with its own unique flair. Hey, got to love it when you find a "F" grade like this one. We're going to enjoy this one folks!
Enjoy Life, Bob @ S and S HUNTCLUB
