Model 8 Pistol Grip Plate
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 6:36 pm
I need to see a photo(s) of a pistol grip plate for a Model 8. Can someone post one or more? I have a plain Model 8 in every regard but one. It has no checkering or engraving, but it DOES have a half pistol grip with a metal cover plate. I am wondering if the plate is original. I need a photo to compare. I am overseas and cannot take one to post. But my plate is oval, has "Remington" along both sides of the oval, has a screw in the center, and I would say elongated oak leaf clusters above and below the screw. Is this a standard Model 8 grip plate? Why would it be present on an otherwise plain-Jane rifle? Thanks. Mike Jackson
