Kinda pulling out my own hair trying to source all the mag parts for an 81. If anyone has them laying around please contact me. Thank you.

Looking for a Model 81 mag assembly for .30 or .32 Rem.

Nothing particularly weird, missing magazine aside. You have a repair code "due to the 3" on your barrel shroud. I don't see a production code present, not terribly uncommon. Nice score! I can't see the rest of the rifle, but I likely would've picked it up for that price. Fortunately, wit...

I’ll post more pictures tomorrow. Overall it’s in pretty good shape.

Recently acquired this .25 Remington Model 8. The date code is weird and it’s missing the magazine. Overall the condition is pretty good aside from a slight dent in the barrel shroud. But for $450 it’s hard to beat!
Maybe one of you guys could tell me more about it.

I was just curious if magazines from the other calibers would work in a .25 rem rifle.

I know it sounds out of left field. But were there any recorded .25 Rem police rifles or any .25 police rifles at all? I’m looking at purchasing a Model 8 in .25, only downside to it is a slight dent in the barrel shroud and the magazine is missing, which raised my suspicion. Could anyone be able to...

I've been kicking around something and really haven't found an answer. I have recently aquired a FBI Model 81 and im wondering if it's safe to shoot standard .30 Remington through it? I know they have .25 Remington springs in them and the FBI loaded it to .351 spec, but will it have problems of dama...

I plan on it once I get the new tube in and I clean the gun up to make it look more presentable. Not to mention replace old springs and look to see if there’s any other broken parts.

I haven't had that issue. I imigine one of few types of straight profile extractor tools could do the trick. If you plan to do it yourself take utmost care not to damage the gun. If you feel its above your level, consult with gunsmiths that know their stuff! In case you didn't know you have a VERY ...

I’m wanting to purchase one for my FBI rifle. A front sight for it would be awesome as well.

Yeah no problem. Serial number is 19352.

I acquired a Remington Model 81 in .30 Remington a few weeks ago. The rifle externally is in about 70%+ condition, it sat wrapped up in a blanket in a barn for years before being sold at an estate sell. The problem I had during disassembly is that the action spring tube broke inside the gun. Any tip...
