Remington model 8 in 35 Remington joins the herd.

[JunkCollector]

Not exactly something on the radar.
It's cool factor and being in 35 Remington was pushing me on it.
It was also on the low end of values for these so can be a free ride if Sako needs to ever be enabled.
I think this one dates to 1908

It's a JMB design so can't be too bad.

Also found some favorite food.

Nice! I have plenty of brass if you need some.

[Zee]

Ok, that’s a cool one!! Very nice.

[JunkCollector]

Nice! I have plenty of brass if you need some.

I think I still have brass I was trying to give you around also.
Thanks as always.
I'll let you know how it performs

[JunkCollector]

Ok, that’s a cool one!! Very nice.

It is "different".....lol

[sakodude]

Well if it shoots anything like Andy’s 81, you will love it.

[Bigslug]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!

Very eager to hear how that one runs for you. I've handled a small number, but never fired nor been inside of one.

Gee. . .I wonder where Kalashnikov got his safety. . .

I thought he had an 8 or 81 but didn't find the thread.

[GrapeApe]

Nice 8 what's the story on the second rifle?

Nice 8 what's the story on the second rifle?

It's an old stevens favorite I have in 32 rimfire.
Anytime you can find ammo is a plus.
The stuff I currently have has gone bang but not often on the first try......sometimes 6 or 7.....lol

I'm hoping this may have been stored better.
Really like the gun and it's esthetics with the octagon to round barrel

[JunkCollector]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!

I have some ammo so could happen soon

[Elk Creek]

Well ain’t that cute! Now you can be just like Frank Hamer and chase down some bad hombres, “manos ariba”! Awesome!

[JunkCollector]

I'll shoot it tomorrow
Looking forward to seeing how this barrel performs with a recoil and buffer spring set up.

[sakodude]

Hope it shoots. Would make an awesome choice for you rifle bear season.

[Elk Creek]

Mine is a 300 sav, recoil is not an issue!

[Wambli Ska]

Another one of my freaking bucket list guns!!! Nice score

[JunkCollector]

Well It still goes bang.
Feeds and ejects splendidly

I called it a model 8 but I guess correctly it's just a remington automatic name wise.
Apparently they didn't get named as a model 8 until 1911

The trigger I had to get familiar with.
First shot was terrible.....next two a little better.
Last 3 were alright....lol
I was only shooting at 30 yards
I think the guns plenty accurate
The operator just wasn't driving well

The search goes on for some more reliable 32 long rimfire.
I gave up trying......to cold for dealing with duds.

Oh and Elk Creek was wrong it does kick.....lol

Yer nice! I always thought those guns we’re so cool looking

[Wambli Ska]

Next sunny day lay out your rimfire ammo out in a towel and let it get nice and hot. After a few hours put it in a Tupperware or zip lock with some of those moisture absorbing packets. Done that a few times and it works to revive the primer compound which is usually just moist from years of humidity. If it doesn’t work you didn’t lose much.

And of you don’t have the packets a few teaspoons of salt wrapped up in cotton t-shirt material works fine too.

[JunkCollector]

Thanks for the tip
Think you forgot what NE winter is though....lol
Spring or summer
I'll try it......rice would probably work good too.

[Wambli Ska]

Never tried rice but should work too. The heat is the main thing. You could try the oven but I don’t recommend it

You can sent them to me if you want. By mid April my dog’s turds turn to ash before they hit the ground. I guarantee my services, they will be FREE of of ANY moisture when I ship them back to you

Might as well try the microwave if your going to use an oven. a few sparks never hurt anyone
