http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =307138605. i have never seen one of these on the block but have seen POE's go for 6,000+ dollars, so i think this will hit at least 5,000. what do you think.

Perhaps I missed noting something in the photos or the description as to this being a FBI gun. Only mention was when seller alluded to the use of this type firearm by law enforcement and the FBI. That being said it appears to be a close to mint 81 and is fetching a pretty good figure right now with a few days left on the auction.

I gotta be missing something...? All those bids...? What's behind the curtain? Based on my read and the pictures that is just a very nice 81, nothing special, plus it has 3 extra holes!

I saw the neat sight, cased, and that I don't have one in .30 Rem the other day, and then noticed the bids were up to $1000. Sure enough, it has a bunch of the features listed here: http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/?page_id=867 for an early FBI model.

The factory roll-stamping on the left side of the receiver has been moved over ,so the Lyman sight was factory installed. I don't know any thing about FBI guns but I do know that the receiver sight was factory installed,otherwise part or all of that roll-stamping would be covered up. I hope this at least clears up that aspect.
Thanks for your time

Thanks for the post. After reviewing our "sticky" I`m a bit more educated. Glad I didn`t come across this one at a gun show before with a $2000 price tag on it.I would have passed thinking it was over-priced. You know your guns uhjohnson,I see this one topped $6000 and was sold.Anyone here the new owner?

That was a very collectible FBI issued Model 81. And WOW at the condition it is in. I don't know with absolute certainty, but I suspect it drew the amount of money it did because that case is probably an original FBI case. Hot item!
