Hey fellas, I wanted to share with y'all a little test we did seeing if some of Remington's claims from 1906-1910 were true. They advertised the Model 8 in .35Rem, firing a 200gr. soft point, could penetrate either 1/4" or 5/16" steel (mild presumably) plates. We put them to the test. Enjoy...
Old school tacticool.
Remington Model 81 in .35Rem. 15 Round magazine. Lyman 6R express style rear sight & Marbles tang sight gives this rifle 3 sighting options. Very KISS.
Kudos to Tim Watson...The Tirmax was a very well made 32ACP carbine made in Belgium in the early 20th century. I have a friend who owns one, they're quite rate in the United States.
The earliest account, that I know of, listing who carried what firearm is from Sheriff Jordan during his interview with True Detective Magazine, November 1934. His list directly corresponds to the photographs we have of the firearms on top of Bonnie & Clyde's car at the ambush site (as pictured...
LeonCarr,
I made a video discussing why the Police Model 8 @ the ambush claim is almost certainly false. Most of the supposed facts have been refuted, though unfortunately they keep being repeated even by authorities like "American Rifleman" and "Guns & Ammo". You can check it out at the link...
Great looking Model 81 you got there Mustang51 :D Both those rifles were great law enforcement guns, both in standard and "police" format. Good shooting too!
5 rounds of 30 Remington go fast, 15 rounds just takes a tad longer!
I have a Kahr/Auto Ordnance factory built M1A1 SBR (10.5" barrel). I got mine back around 2006. When the rifle arrived to my dealer the wood color was so mismatched he sent the rifle back. They replaced the stock to closer match the forearm and grip. One of the buttplate screws was boogered...
If money is no problem (and you can actually find one) then google "Cobb MCR-300". It's an AR-10 type rifle chambered in 30-06 that accepts modified 20 round BAR magazines. I think Cobb made 100 of them in 2006.
Last 2 years...

The checkering on the wood is definitely NOT original. If you'd like to see examples of original checking on Model 8's check out the link and the website dedicated to them below.

There is not one buttplate that came on Model 8's, but several in fact. As many as 6 or more were used throughout production. Generally though, you can tell depending on when the rifle was produced.
Early production 8's used gutta percha hard rubber semi curved buttplate.

I second what taliv said. I have an ATN 6900 Crusader Gen2+ on an AR15 and it's got its limitations. It's a dedicated NV scope, fixed 5x. When you have a full moon w/out overcast it really shines, good for about 125 yards. The IR is a must with it. Many disadvantages to a dedicated NV scope...
