Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds FS: Remington Model 8, .30 Rem, made in 1915

I have a nice, original Model 8 made in 1915 that has not been messed with. The wood shows that the rifle has been in use for a century, but never abused. Metal is very good. No dings in the barrel jacket and barrel is good plus, and may clean to very good or even better. Buttplate is original and complete. Comes with the Marbles (Lyman?) folding tang peep, for which I paid $250. Also have new RCBS dies and 40-plus pieces of virgin Graf's .30 Remington brass. I haven't shot it, but can arrange to.
Asking $750 and split the shipping for this Browning classic. Can go to a curio and relic FFL. Ask if questions. Not looking for trades.

Very nice!!!!!!!

My Uncle gave me one of these for my first deer rifle, minus the receiver sight.

Same ballistics as a 30-30 except You can use pointy bullets.

If You remove the forearm there is a lever on the receiver that allows You to separate the barrel & receiver ===> Takedown.

a neat Classic.

can previous owner tell how the reloads functioned/ tHANKS

Triple, I got this from an estate, so the previous owner cannot comment. I can test fire next week if need be. Nice that the brass is available once again.

Huntington Die Co. has the brass also. Its Remington brass.

Nice traditional Deer rifle!

Killed my first coyote with one 55years ago.It belonged to the bank in my home town it was bought in the early 30's for robbery protection when Bonnie & Clyde and other gangs were working Okla & Ks.Made the mistake of reminding them i had it.It's still in town but owner won't turn loose of it.

Had a question about whether the receiver had been tapped for a scope. It has not. It is pristine for a 102-year-old hunting rifle.

Sold pending receipt of funds.

Good! Nice to see a good one still around. I've got one in 35 Rem that'll shoot homey-cast swc's like a rifle. Don't take one apart just for grins-you won't be grinning when you get it back together!
Congrats to buyer and seller.

Tom,

I've had the take-down feature on mine apart several times... no problem.

But I assume You mean the barrel jacket, which I have heard is a nightmare to get back together. My amatuerish-tinkering 13 year self tried to get it apart but it Fortunately would not budge.

Jerry-
I was referring to the receiver. Once I got it back together I decided not to tackle the barrel\shroud assembly... even monkeys are trainable!
