If you click on the box you can paste.The "Outlaw/Lawmen" forum has no enable HTML option, so I can't paste.Don't know why, its just the way things are.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be good now. I'll transfer this post to the Outlaw/Lawmen forum. David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim c 351 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) Darryl, If you are thinking of adding an 8 and 81 to your collection you may want to read up on them ahead of time.

darrylta Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Jim,Are you the "Jim" in the video?Do you own the FBI 81?Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c 351 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Darryl,No, I don't even own an 8 or 81. It is on my priority buy list, probably in 35 cal.I will be happy to own a nice standard 8 or 81.The book that I recommended above is really nice. It's a Collector grade, much like the Thompson, BAR and Lewis Gun, Collector grade books.It will tell you everything you need to know about the 8 & 81. I just received my copy this morning.Highly recommend.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCM Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yes, the John Henwood book- His book on the Forgotten Winchesters the same, if you can find one. Used to have a nice Rem Model 8 in 35. Nice gun, LOUD gun , cheap ammo. Good for shooting black bear thru brush, or Clyde Barrow thru a car window. Much prefer the Winchester 07 in 351. Not really pricey guns, should have both.

jim c 351 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Sandy,The 2003 Henwood book, on the Remington 8/81, states that the reason the FBI adapted the 30 cal Rem 81 was because they became dissatisfied with the WRA 1907 carbine .Is there anything in the "Forgotten Winchester" book about why the FBI dumped the 351????Funny side note,__ the FBI wanted the 30 Remington cartridges down loaded to 351 SL power.Jim CPS news flash---------- I just bought a Remington model 8 in 35 cal. It was made in the 1930s. This may be the unaccounted for firearm the B&C posse used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCM Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 No, it's fully accounted for in a Texas collection......My Henwood book was donated to a Winchester 07 expert on the West coast, so I can't tell you about the 07. News Flash..............Pictured here is ( top) Manny Gault's Remington Model 8, 35 that he used at the ambush- Below is Ray Hamilton's Winchester 07. Then a Winchester M1909 10 gauge that was recovered from the death car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANS Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Pictured here is ( top) Manny Gault's Remington Model 8, 35 that he used at the ambush- Below is Ray Hamilton's Winchester 07. Then a Winchester M1909 10 gauge that was recovered from the death car. Very cool! Where are these located? Are the serial numbers of all these listed? Where did the 10-gauge Winchester Model 1901 come from? I thought the 10-gauge was a mistake introduced by Frost and Jenkins, when they copied the list of the Death Car contents from Webb? Webb only lists a 16-gauge and a 20-gauge shotgun, and those two (Remington Model 11s) are also the only shotguns you can see on the film made by Hinton, excepting the guns of the posse of course.

OCM Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 You are correct about the 10 gauge, good catch. Clyde did have a 16 gauge " whippet" gun he used to kill Davis in front of the McBride home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
