Re: Model 8 in 35 Remington
I would check the website in the next few weeks. I was impressed by the descriptions given on the guns from the last auction. Most auction houses descriptions are lackluster, not the case with Wards. I'd advise against trying to contact Rem8&81 through the forum considering he hasn't signed on ...
