Found you one. https://www.gunboards.com/threads/wts-r ... n.1259426/

What condition is your Model 81 in? Is it already drilled for a scope mount? If it is a nice gun and not already drilled and tapped for a scope mount, I would look around for another Model 81 in your caliber which either already has a scope mount or is already drilled and tapped for a scope mount. O...

Oliver, Welcome to the forum! I do not think that a regular magazine or a Krieger conversion type magazine will work on a POE modified Remington Autoloading rifle. I have seen POE magazines for sale maybe once or twice in the past 28 years.

Hardrada55

Got mine! Thank you, it looks absolutely perfect.

Hardrada55

I paid using the email address.

Hardrada55

If your gun is in the 26000 range it is 1910-1911.

Hardrada55

That is such a wonderful setup. I think this is the second cased Remington Autoloader I've ever seen. This is a magnificent example.

Hardrada55

I want one 2XL "tall" for $33.

Hardrada55

Let me know....I want a 2X tall...

Hardrada55

Which issue? One of the old paperbacks or the hardback version?

Hardrada55

I vote for No. 1 and/or No. 3, with No. 3 a slight favorite. Hats are way cool. I have one of the hats Packmule made years ago now.

I think that's very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Hardrada55

Very good idea! Sounds like the .35 will make a good shooter.

Hardrada55

I have a similar one and it's my favorite.

Hardrada55

Your rifle shipped from Remington in 1915. The "N" and "circle K" are called "assemblers and fitters markings".

Hardrada55

I really enjoyed the pictures of the old ammo boxes, especially the .30 Remington Hi-Speed 110 grain!

Hardrada55

I don't know if the trigger guard serial matches, but the barrel matches the receiver. The only thing bad about this gun is that someone drilled holes in the bottom of the forearm and stock to mount now long gone sling swivels.

Price reduction! Was $1400 now $1200. Heads up forum members! I would like to sell my 1911 vintage Remington model 8 autoloading rifle chambered in .25 Remington for $1200 plus actual shipping costs. It has a 1931 repair code and a nice peep sight. Shipped to FFL or C&R. No sales out of USA. IMG...

Thank you! I imagine it’s not due to the obsolete ammo. I assume you’re a reloader?

Yes, I reload, but in this case.... I happen to have several boxes of ammo ready for when I do acquire a nice one.

Hardrada55

That's a pretty one. A .32 is the one I don't have...yet.

Hardrada55

That's very nice...

Hardrada55

First thing you need to do is find a source of brass cartridge cases for .30 Remington. The major ammo companies stopped selling loaded .30 Remington cartridges in 1997. Graf's used to sell brass for about a buck apiece, but I think they're out of stock. Some other companies like Midway or Old Weste...

Alleged to have belonged to Texas Ranger W. L. Barler.

I peaked, and that's a good looking rifle!

This is what I would call a "round knob" Model 8. It's a type of rounded shallow pistol grip style stock.

Thanks, A Remington 8 and 81 collector from New Jersey had a box like that back in 2011.

SOLD PENDING FUNDS I have a Standard Arms Model G rifle in .30 Remington which is substantially complete (as far as I can tell) but is in non-operating condition. I had intended to fix it myself but never got around to it. The ladder on the rear sight is missing. The gas valve seems to be a little ...

Hey from Lawton. Awesome looking rifle...

Hardrada55

Now you gotta' tell us what he paid for 'em so we can turn green.

Hardrada55

Definitely a Wow! Where do these things come from! I guess I really know the answer....they've been sitting in someone else's collection for years and years. But, what a neat thing to have.

I never realized that .32 Remington was available at one time with a 110 grain "Hi-Speed" "Mushroom" pointed bullet.

I really like this forum. I check it almost every day.

Posting for a family member. Looking for a nice original functioning Model 8 or 81 in .35 Remington. Want a nice shooter.

Hardrada55

MinnesotaDan, Did you ever sell your Model 8 for $800 range?

Hardrada55

I know I have struggled several times with the refinish vs leave original conundrum. In the final analysis, I would do what makes the gun most enjoyable to you. It's not like you would be refinishing some super rare variation or a one of a kind gun or one that is historically significant that would ...

The production code, "RT" indicates it was made in November 1926. According to John Henwood's book, "The Great Remington 8" though, the last rifle shipped from the factory in 1918 was 40,917 and in 1919 was 42,009, which puts your rifle 41033 shipped from the factory in 1919. A R...

Hey Derek, former North Texan here. Good to have you on the forum, of course. I hear those AR's are getting so cheap some of the kids are getting interested in decent rifles. Got to pass along the knowledge. Walt

I found a list of guns used by a hunting party of the Prince of Wales in India in 1921. Thought it was mildly interesting because of reference to two of our favorite firearms. Apparently the "Royals" were intrigued with the Remington Autoloader and took it "shooting". Imagine som...
