Now that is nice too!!!
Sweet, I just picked up an 84, but Im thinking about grabbing one of the 81s for my daughter for Xmas.....
I believe the official explanation is that the exagerated "web" is supposed to guide the gun into its holster.I think it is neat how Remington obviously wanted to make the pistol like the Colt SAA.. But they kept that large "loading arm" under the barrel just for Remington Branding purposes.

Oooooh, need pics! Very cool!A nice old Stevens 311A with walnut, case colors, perfect bores and no bad scars at the lgs wherein fill in. $150. Be a nice one for "behind the door" at deer camp.
The "high hump" upper handguard on early M1903 Springfields was supposed to guide the rifle into a horse scabbard-Really... you lie Realy, I had not heard that and will have to do some digging.. I mean how drunk would have to be to need more guiding into the holster once you get the barrel going down the holster???
But you may be right.. Believe it or not supposedly that is why there are two little wings in front of the cylinder on the Webleys, to guide the gun into the holster..
I think I made the same "How drunk" comments when I heard that, except I think I use "How Intoxicated".. Its British you know.

I wanted grandson to have something with a little class to take to the family deer camp... ThanksI do like the wood on that..
No pictures? For shame!VZ-58 by Czechpoint/CSA. Picked it up today. What a unique machine!
Such a stupid feeling to field strip it for cleaning after test-firing, and trying for 1 & 1/2 hours tonight to reassemble the striker Upside Down....despite having prev. watched YouTube. Du Dummkopf! Hast Du gar Nichts gelernt?
But what a fun gun to shoot; a good bit less muzzle rise than with my imported AKs, and this VZ only has a muzzle Thread protector, which can easily be removed. And the front post sight is very straight, hits really small objects easily from 50 yards.
Such a precision machine. Tricky to get the thin rear assembly's (it has the two odd springs) two small tabs into the track as this upper Inverted V metal goes a bit just over the bolt carrier.
Grabbed a 1897 Winchester and a Wards Western Field 15A 410 today. The Wards was produced by Mossberg from 1936 to 1938.View attachment 871936
Love the Wards 410.. That has such a nice look... How many rounds will the magazine hold?? Is it detachable??
Ohh yeah the 1897 is no slouch either 12 ga? 20 ga?
It is a three round fixed magazine, feeds from the top like a Mauser. The 97 is a 12ga.
