jim c 351 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) I recently posted some pics and info on the Great Remington Model 8 society site.Since I am aware that only 2 people on this site have any interest in said rifle I could see no reason to repost here.But for the benefit of those 2 members I will provide some links.Jim Chttp://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4602&sid=19dc8eb57712f3b68ea9516ad5cf626b http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4603&sid=19dc8eb57712f3b68ea9516ad5cf626b http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4604&sid=19dc8eb57712f3b68ea9516ad5cf626b http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4605&sid=19dc8eb57712f3b68ea9516ad5cf626b http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4606&sid=19dc8eb57712f3b68ea9516ad5cf626b Edited May 31, 2016 by jim c 351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1gewehr Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I have a nice Remington 81 in .300 Savage. It's a heavy beast, but has been accurate and reliable with my 150gr reloads. It took me a while to get used to the 'Thunk-cha-chunk' of the long-recoil action operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCM Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Sure be nice to see a Lebman 351 conversion in your great collection there, Jim. Didn't know you had scored a 81. You and Darryl & CJL aught to get together, shoot an ultimate gun photos OCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c 351 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Sandy,I can thank Darryl for getting the 81. He quit bidding when he noticed I was first bidder. It worked out good for him in the end. He bought the police 81 from the same seller.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I guess I'll be 5 or 6. Got one in the 10K ser. range. in a collection I bought. Not much interest in any police or gangster collection, but I have it to go with my Chauchat and the rest of my Browning collection. It's a light gun with heavy recoil. Got the book, tool, and a stripper clip that I paid more than what I spent on the gun? Cabela's stocks 35 rem. I have not shot it for accuracy, but I'm not expecting much after tearing it completely down and looking at the design. Easy to see why they didn't sell many between the design and the cost. The book was well worth the money. I was also surprised at how many parts were numbered....almost like the Germans made them. Excellent whitetail gun for sure.

jim c 351 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Johnson,Congratulations, did you get an 8 or 81??Any gun that John Browning designed is an interesting gun.I have not shot any factory loads. The first thing I bought after the gun was reloading dies. With the 200 gr Hornady and 35 gr 3031, I have hit some 3.5 inch groups at 100 yds. Considering my age and iron sights I consider it quite accurate.Post a pic if you get a chance.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrylta Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Tom,A nice early model 8 and 21AC.Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAS1921AC Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Darryl, Thank you sir for the kind words. I had a Model 8 back in the early 80's and sold it or traded it off or who knows what. You know how it is. After 40 years you can't remember what happened to some of the things you had and you can't remember where you got some of the things you have.But I always regretted getting rid of that rifle. I've always liked the Model 8. It's just a neat rifle and it's ties to police use and the B&C ambush just makes it neater. Anyway, I was talking to my oldest gun collector friend one night and mentioned how I always wanted to pick up another Model 8. He told me his brother had a pretty nice one he would be willing to part with. I found this odd since his brother never seemed to me to be a gun person. He said he'd probably sell it for what he had in it. When I asked how much he said $275.00. A couple days later he had $275.00 and I had the rifle.

Waldo Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I have a Model 81 in .35 Remington. I have had it for 25 or 30 years. It came with the original box. It has a little rash on one side from sitting in the box for many years. I don't remember what I paid for it. I have only shot it a few times. I got it and a Model 07 Winchester within a couple of years of each other. I think they are both very interesting guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCM Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 David, about time you got a Winchester 07- Good job. Now you can join the John Dillinger Died For You Society, founded by Horace Naismith, AKA William J. Helmer .Good looking couple.Maybe a Colt mini submachine gun with a CJL conversion is next in your growing collection- I have a list if you want. John would be proud, so would Baby Face & Pretty Boy.  OCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalbert Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Scarce "UP" (Union Pacific) Railroad Marked Remington Pre-Model 8 Auto-Loading Rifle Remington at auction., I think I would want more provenance than just the stamp. It sure looks like it could have been stamped recently. Thoughts?  David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
