While I check and read the link above that the OP listed (remingtonsociety.org) from time to time, I enjoy 'thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com' forum alot more. It deals only with Models 8, 81, and the European made FN 1900 series. Not sure if it is an offshoot of the forum/link the OP posted, how they are connected if at all. When I joined it 8-9 years ago it was really active but has gotten quiet the last few years. Not sure if the older members who are very knowledgeable lost interest or what the circumstances are, some of them post once in a while. At times it will get active, then get quiet for awhile. There is a wealth of info in the archives if ya search it though. Still a good forum to check on.
