Long time no see

Hey guys, sorry, kind of fell off the Model 8/81 world for awhile. My interest peaked again recently after my Uncle passed away and an offer of some of his guns came about. One that immediately got my attention was a Model 8 in 25 Rem that I tried to buy at least 25 years ago. You have to have known my Uncle, if he acquired a gun, he never got rid of it. My Aunt gave the gun to me the other day and it ends up being a Standard model made in 1920. If I remember correctly he said he won it in a poker game back in the 50s and he has never shot it. It's seen it's share of use but I'm just tickled pink about it. Now to find some ammo. I noticed Old West Scrounger has new production?

Welcome back! I'm sure that you are truly overjoyed with your new rifle. From the pics it looks like a real decent 25 Cal. Model 8. Any 25 rem. M-8 is a great piece to own. They 're'quite rare and you're lucky. To have one.
Thanks for'your time

Nothing like a neat old 25 to rekindle interest.Thanks for sharing the story of how you acquired it and all the photos.I know there is a 25 in my future one day but no possibility of falling heir to one. Hope you will keep us up to date and let us know how it shoots.

Terrific. Patience won out. Indeed, we will want to know how it shoots.

TNyoteboy that's a GREAT looking 25Rem! And it's still got prominent cheeks left on the stock, don't see that too often. Your uncle had good taste.

Glad to see ya back on here
