That's a beauty John! I've had several hard to acquire Model 8's with the rifle style "Top-Tang" steel butt plate pass through my hands over the years that I've bought and sold. Not one of them were numbers matching... regarding the butt plate and butt stock, matching the receiver serial ...

Nice Model 8 in 35 REM.
The fact that it belonged to your great grandfather, means the value is "PRICELESS" in my opinion. Enjoy life, Bob

Hello BrokeBodyEngineer, I've always used the 5-44 slotted blued screws as the proper replacement, for the Lyman 41R Receiver Sight. My local hardware store had a gunsmith screw assortment, but I cleaned them out about a month or two ago. These 5-44 slotted screws are 1 inch long and they'll need t...

This is a great old vintage Remington wooden ammo crate, with very unique FBI markings, and the 30 REM ammo that the FBI used as well. Very cool piece of history! Thanks for sharing the pictures John.

This Rare Model 81 was purchased by me through icollector. It was for sale by Carol Watson's Orange County Auctions, in Anaheim, California.

These sure are a nice collection of Model 81 D Grades. I'm surprised that this post didn't get more traction. I remember back when Jack bought the Model 81-D from the Sanford Estate.

Hey Jack, Thanks for your kind words about our past dealings. It has always been a pleasure dealing with you and helping you build on your fine collection through the years.

Hello JediWing19, I agree with your Barrel Code assessment regarding the month and year of the factory repair and the date of manufacture, being March of 1924. Remington started the Barrel Code stamping of the Month and Year of Manufacturing in 1921. Remington used the word BLACKPOWDER for the firs...

Hello, I was bidding on it because it's a hard to find C-Grade pistol grip Top-Tang in a great Whitetail deer hunting caliber.

Very nice Cam. Judging by the serial number, that appears to be one of the rifles that are often referred to as, "clean-up" rifles produced by Remington, when the Model 81 was discontinued in 1950. I've owned a couple of the used "clean-up" Model 81's in the 30 REM. caliber in m...

You're welcome Bob. The EE designates that your rifle was made in October (E) of 1936 (E). The first letter is always the month of the year. Remington used the word BLACKPOWDER and added the letter X to the end, for the 12 months of the year. The date code BLACKPOWDERX was started in 1921. There's ...

Very cool old Remington. What you have there is a "First Year Production" 1936 Remington Model 81, (Serial #989) with a Lyman 41 side mounted receiver sight. The Model 81 was not offered in the 300 Savage caliber in 1936. I'm assuming that you determined the 1946 year of production by the...

The auction has been ended. The seller was a New Register (NR) on Gunbroker.com. My guess is someone got ahold of the seller, gave them a song and a dance over the phone and got this rifle way below market value. The rare & hard to find Remington Police Model 8's & 81's and the F.B.I. Model...

It appears to be the hammer end of the firing pin to me.
