Note the missing take down lever and the shallow hole in lower forearm. We assume for structural integrity of forearm being so long.

Well you have seen this rifle called the John W. Hession Rifle in a couple different posts one by Hibby and a story by 81 police Cam on this forum. This rifle is pictured on page 115 of Henwood's 3rd edition of the book on Remington model 8s. First off I had the privilege of a visit from Hibby from ...

Glad to hear it will be in Journal Cam !! That's an excellent magazine \ book I get it quarterly . Remington Society is a good group and I recommend anyone on this forum to join !! Looking forward to seeing your story in print ! John Taylor

Thanks Cam that's a good story on the gun !! You're story puts words with pictures I posted and the added bonus of the pictures out of Remington's archives. There will be more break down pictures to follow. Thanks again !! John Taylor

I also received this card zip tied to trigger guard . Kina hard to read but cool. And to "Canuck2" I will get more pictures of wood and what's under it when Hibby comes up. Thanks ! John Taylor

Here is my last picture of the gun. Sorry about the back ground and lighting for these pictures as my picnic table is still under cover !! That is where I get the best results for pictures. The gun is marked "25-35 rem" which is neat !! Also remember you can see the gun pictured on page 11...

Here is a neat old model 14 D-Grade serial #14130 from 1913 so almost 113 years old. It's been around though !! Not much blue left mostly brown and many nicks and scratches in wood and metal but really cool old gun in my mind !!! Notice the pistol grip cap looks like buffalo horn or some type of hor...

Hi John Taylor here I am looking for the early model 8 rear sight marked Patent I think it's July of 1902. It was used on the first couple year model 8s. Please let me know if you might have one I could buy. PM me please, Thanks !! John Taylor
