Definitely not a Stith.

I'd agree on the old Weaver #4. Cam knows his stuff.

$600 for rifle.
$300 for components, minus the powder.

Price is plus shipping.
Ammo/components would ship separately.
Prices are firm.
Thanks!

Price reduced to $75

I've got it listed on gunbroker, but if am member here wants it, I'd prefer to deal direct. If interested let me know.

There should be a "thief" emoji.

They appear to be period Correct at least, which is nice.

Like these. That's all I know.

Found a little bonus.
The rifle has Paul Jaeger marked quick detachable sling swivels. I've seen these selling in the $50 neighborhood.

Does anyone know the significance of them? Were they the first detachable?

I will likely spend more time in a safe.

I will take it on a trip or two, but I don't get to go hunting as often as I'd like to these days.

Holy moly!!
Awaiting more stories. And pics!!! (Sorry Cam)

Oh, and the magazine is really neat. It works great.

Finally got to pull it apart.
No markings in the forend.
The stock has the serial number stamped on the lower tang inletting.
The grip cap is somewhat inletted along the bottom of the stock, so it's not like it was just stuck on there.
Interesting gun.

Yes, worth $400.
That rear sight is worth around $150-200 these days

Early receiver! The BK3 barrel marking indicated a repair (3) done in January (B) of 1941 (K). They probably didn't have any more Model 8 front ends, since the 81 had been in production since 1936 and/or the customer wanted to upgrade to the 300 Savage. I'm sure other parts may have been replaced at...

Yes, the numbers should match. It looks like the upgraded wood was taken from another rifle and out on yours. Notice the metal on the tang is exposed on the side. If it was fit to the rifle, that wouldn't show.

It's pretty, but that seems like New in the Box money, to me. No rib, 30" full choke. No, they aren't common in that condition, but that's kinda steep.

Watch it in action here:

The POE one really does look inspired by Jack's with the vertical foregrip.

I'm no gamer, but watching a youtube video discovered the Mode 8 has a role as a weapon you can use in the game.

A very nice story, indeed.
I do hope hope he will share, but that's a personal decision. Very happy for them.

Thanks Mr. Jack. It's a nice example. Hope to get to shoot it soon and maybe put it on some game in the fall. There are hogs around here, but I've not had the opportunity.
I'm excited to add a kreiger to the collection. Just a neat piece of history.

It's not yet in my grubby paws, but I'm excited to have picked this one up.
Tell me what y'all think!

The Cutts gives great patterns. It can add length back to a shortened barrel. The Lyman chokes are good as well. There were several types of these early choke tubes. They worked pretty well, but weren't as pretty as the internal tubes that phased them out. Interestingly it took about 50 years before...

Still have it. Will entertain offers

I wanted an example of a Model 11 with a vent rib. They aren't extremely common. This one is has a factory installed (no chaoke marking on barrel) Cutts Compensator. This exact configuration model was used by Robert Stack (yes, the actor) in his younger days to win a Skeet Championship. I like the c...

Many of you know I'm more into the Model 11 shotguns. I'm no high end collector, but have accumulated a good deal of knowledge over the years. Anyway, when I had the opportunity to pick up a C (trap) grade Model 11 I jumped. Got it for a good price, which is always nice. It's not perfect, but you ju...

I know I haven't been really active here in a while. Apologies to all the fine folks here. I picked up a sweet little Model 25 pump rifle in 25-20 over the holidays. It's been a little project. It's in great functioning shape. It came to me drilled and tapped for some unknown scope mount. Well, I st...

Original clip for the 25, 30 & 32 Remington Model 8's

Ammo not included.

$100 shipped
REDUCED to $75

2nd edition that was NRA reviewed

First Edition (not signed to me)

Thank you Norm. He did say they returned it. I'm sure he shared the rest with me at the time, but I don't recall.

My first edition is also marked XXX of 500 and signed as above. I'll snap a pic of it and the NRA Library markings later.

I've got a box of 30 in the classifieds

An El Paso made Weaver K4 would be great, maybe even a 2.5

For modern stuff, a straight tubed fixed power would look the best.

I wouldn't go any bigger than a 2-7x32mm Nikon Prostaff or Leupold (33mm)

Just picked up the 1st edition yesterday! I bought the 2nd Ed from Mr. Henwood's personal collection in the early 2000's. When I called him all he had was 2 copies, as it was printed in 1995. The one he sent me is one he sent to the NRA Library for review. They returned it to him, stamped on the edg...

if it works fine with 4+1, why push it?

25's sold to Bob. Thank you, Sir. A great transaction.

30's still available

Which gun show?

How about $50 per box plus shipping

ha ha! No, it is used. I haven't shot it in a few years, now. But it's been a good one. Might take it along to put in the blind in case a shot presents itself. Here lately it seems shots don't happen until near dark. Not ideal for iron sights.

Have one full box of each 25 & 30 Remington ammo. The 25 is really clean in a nice box The 30 box is rough but all rounds are clean and appear to be shoot able. I can not guarantee that they will fire, based on age. I'm in SE AL and shipping will probably run about $15 I'm not sure what the valu...

Took a couple pics of my Model 8 today with a wooden ammo box I picked up recently

Just saw this. I haven't been active enough here...
He will be missed here, for sure.
I did correspond with him regarding some of his very nice Model 11's. I didn't find one that I NEEDED so we never made a deal, but he was a great guy.

"Big Enough For The Biggest Game!"

What's a Model 11 C worth these days? :D Got it in today. Felt like it took a year! LOL The barrel serial # matches the receiver. It's original. Not sure why it's not marked "11-C" Another oddity - The forend has the # "4" stamped on it - As in #4, or D grade wood. I haven't got ...

Happy belated Birthday!!

Buy low, sell...well, nevermind that part.

Glad to see a Creamer on here! Bob outbid me on a stripper clip on Ebay in the late 90's, them emailed me that he would sell me one of his. Really nice gesture. Still have it. Also got me into the RSA, which ultimately lead to me finding the "old site and Packmule, which lead to this site. Than...

Nice SAVE! The wood, alone, was worth bringing her back. I like that carbine.
