Love the Ohio BAR's! Super cool.
But, like you, I tend to think long-recoil 8's and 81's are even cooler

Re: Model 8 forend question
The hard rubber (vulcanite) butt plates were used from the beginning of production to at least during WWI...maybe longer. Steel butt plates were mixed in there too but the earliest guns all have the hard rubber plates.Cam - any info on these hard rubber butt plates, dates of use, etc.?

Hi cantgrowup, although I don't reload ammo I do recall a discussion on these forums years back about other shooters having issues with split necks using Grafs brass. You may search the forums for that.

Re: GB M8 F grade
It's possible the seller saw one of the inspector/fitter stamps of "F" on the bottom of the rifle and assumed that meant "F" grade. Have come across that misconception several times.

Re: Repair date vs manufacture date - Please help
Date codes were not present on rifles prior to 1921. So...
If yours is indeed stamped "PN" then your rifle was manufactured June, 1922. And subsequently repaired on the date you indicated via the repair code.
When present always date the rifles via the date code.

Re: What year did they start putting tang sights on Model 8's?
I would say from the very beginning, at least evidence would support Remington's intention there. This by the pre-drilled & tapped tang screw found on the very earliest of rifles from 1906. Peeps were always factory options.

You don't see this very often. A brand new, old stock, never-been-on-a-rifle Remington Model 81 forearm. With original Remington packaging!
I don't know the year of mfg, but sometime between 1940-1950.
