Hello to all

Post by JoeinKY »

Just found the site from a youtube video. I have a .25 made in 1929 with tang sight and two position front sight. Got it for father's day present several years ago.

Lucky you, sounds like a treasure and you have great, discerning and appreciative offspring or spouse. Quoting fellow member imfuncity, we love to see photos. Warning be careful of contacting Jackitis or you will soon have a room full of these. Jerry

Hey JoeinKY,

Welcome to the forum. I am guessing that you might be located in Kentucky. We are glad to have another member and hope that you will find us helpful. There is a lot of good stuff about the Remington's here and if you have any questions, please ask and we will try and get you an answer.

As to the "jackitis", it isn't really that bad. Symptoms usually subside after a purchase or two or three or.... :lol: There is no cure, only temporary relief. :o

Regards,

jack1653 (jackitis)

Thanks for the welcome, it will be nice to talk to people that actually know what a Model 8 is. I have had more questions like " What kind of shotgun is that?" or " is that a BB gun?" than "Wow, a model eight, what caliber is it?". Well, actually, never been asked the last one. Will try to post a pic.
Thanks again. Joe

We're glad to have ya Joe!

In regards to the 8/81, I heard a guy once ask, "where's the gas port on that thing"?
