Inside:

Found it at a gunshow this summer..guy GAVE it to me. I felt like I should BUY something from him for being so nice, and bought a couple of Western (Boulder Co, USA) knives off his table.

The hang tag, not the rifle!!

I've got three stripped lowers. Bought em as blems. Around $40 each. Figured it would be prudent to build at least a couple of em up before the next panic. Bought a CDNN complete carbine kit w/stainless 1-8 barrel for $429. Shoots well.

Thanks for keeping the trash out. Hope there wasn't a virus attached to that fecal matter.

No need to hang down your head, Mr Dooley. (Your first name isn't Tom, is it?). Sorry for the bad Joke. Nice buck! Good looking model 8! It answers a question that came up Saturday, as I looked at a Model 8 in a shop in town. The buttplate was the same as yours, with the return at the toe of the sto...

Was privileged to see and handle briefly a model 81 with Los Angeles County Sheriff Dept engraved on the receiver and a detachable 15 rd magazine at a gunshow in Coure D Alene Idaho a month ago. Cool! Not for sale, although the owner had a standing offer for $6000 for it.

One complete sight with broken flip up spring, nice finish. The other is missing the stem and knurled adjusting and locking nuts, but spring is fine. $200 for the pair shipped lower 48

Adam, see Johnhalf's post above!

And one more

Another shot

Sight with aperature and mounting screw shown on oct 1947 300 Savage(not included in sale). $185 shipped to lower 48

I found that Austrailian NATO 7.62x51. (308) stripper clips work great with 35 Remington in my model 81.. Worth a try.. Pitchy showed us the way.. Had a short vid on It..

Lucked on to 84 once fired, resized and cleaned 35 remington brass yesterday at a gun show..$20....bout broke my own wrist gettin' my wallet out!! There was one model 8 in 35 and a 141 pump gun in the same flavor..didn't have the moola.

I too would like to know..my 81 of the same vintage sometimes does the same thing...thanks for asking this question..Les

Glad to be here..gonna try some hand loads with the 200 gr. Hornady FTX..gummy tip pointed tips..it sure likes the Rem. coreloct round nose..laid two touching each other on paper at 50 yds while sighting in the Williams Foolproof..made an adjustment and next range time will try her at 100..I usually...

Long time hunter/shooter/accumulater here..bought this 1949 model 81 in 35 remington a couple of weeks ago..don't think it's been fired in 30 years..nice clean gun..bright crisp bore..oiled it up and tried it out..stove pipe jambs, and would leave the empty brass laying on top of the cartridges in t...
