Re: New Member from Tennessee

Thanks so much Roger! Yep, I was honestly just looking for a basic Model 8, but I just couldn't find any for sale anywhere! I didn't intend on getting a special engraved Model 8, but for the price I felt it was a great deal. The pictures don't do the gun justice. It's much more attractive in person....

Re: New Member from Tennessee

Thank you kindly for the remarks! Hibby83, yes in my research even prior to receiving the rifle earlier this week, I learned really quick that the forearm screw was NOT to be used as a sling swivel. It's there to simply unscrew the wood forearm from the barrel, so I'm good there. Yes, the fit and fi...

Re: New Member from Tennessee

Thank you! I'm still learning as much as I can about these rifles, and the message board has been a wealth of information. Although it fits on the rifle very cleanly, and I can tell the screw is not a modern screw, but I'm not sure if the forearm screw components are original to the gun. You need a ...

Feedback Please-Pics of My Model 8

Hey everyone! New member here in Tennessee, and I have purchased my first Model 8! This is a 8D Peerless and I believe based on serial number (33335) a 1914 manufacture year. I have been looking for a basic model 8, but could only find this Peerless model, so I bought it and I love it. I've included...

Re: New Member from Tennessee

Thank you all! The rifle is on its way via UPS ground, and is set to arrive on Monday Sept. 30th. I just can't believe the lack of Model 8s for sale out there in the world! I ran across a few on-line over the past few weeks, and pulled the trigger on what I believe to be a 1914 model (serial number ...
