Pistol Grip Cap Size/Dimensions for 8/81D+ Grades
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2026 7:13 pm
Hello again,
I'm here with a someone obscure and asinine question; does anyone happen to have the dimensions of the Remington-branded pistol grip caps as used on Peerless and higher grade Model 8/81s?
I am planning to "up-trim" my 1949 Model 81 to an 81C or 81D as a summer project. I'm not going to engrave it or change any markings or anything in order to make a fake, but there are so few higher grade 81s out there (and likely next to none up here in Canada) and I like fancy wood, so why not?
