Description:
The Remington Model 81 was the successor to the very popular Remington Model 8 which was famously used by law enforcement in the ambush of Bonnie and Clyde in 1934. Designed by John Moses Browning, the famed inventor of the 1911 pistol and many other firearms, the Model 8 and 81 both used the long-recoil method of operation as used in the Browning Auto-5 shotgun and the Browning M2 .50-caliber machine gun. This type of operation was used due to its greater reliability over gas-operation which back then could not be done with the powders then available. The only drawback to this method of operation is, in addition to the primary recoil movement of the ignition of the cartridge, there is a second, smaller recoil bump from the barrel stopping at its rear most position before moving back into the forward position. While this may sound uncomfortable, from personal experience it is not is not even noticeable. Like the Auto-5, the Model 81’s magazine has a capacity of 5 rounds. In this case, it is a box magazine fixed to the gun and is not intended to be removable though both the 8 and 81 have been modified in the past to successfully use a detachable box magazine. The Model 81 was available in five different cartridges, all with interesting histories. These are the .25 Remington, .30 Remington, .32 Remington, .35 Remington, and the .300 Savage. For now, we’ll cover just the Remington rounds since this rifle is chambered for one of them. The .25, .30, .32, and .35 Remington cartridges were designed to complete with Winchester’s lineup of both lever action rifles and concurrent semi-auto rifles. In other words, the .25 Remington competed with the .25-35 Winchester lever round, the .30 Remington competed with the .30-30 lever round, the .32 Remington with both the .32 WSL semi rifle round and the 32 Winchester Special lever round, and the .35 Remington with the .35 WSL semi-rifle round. Winchester later introduced the improved .351 and .401 WSL cartridges in an effort to beat Remington. Ultimately, the only two cartridges that lasted into the 21st Century were the already popular Winchester 30-30 (introduced as far back as 1894), and the very effective .35 Remington which quickly buried the .35 WSL, the .351 WSL, and even the .401 WSL. The .30 Remington however does have the distinction of being the basis for the modern 6.8 SPC cartridge. Although no longer popular, cases and reloading dies are available from a number of sources. It is effective on the same range of game as the .30-30 it was designed to compete with. The rifle shown here is was made in 1947 and is in good condition for its age (73 years old) both internally and externally, though it has been modified. The receiver has been drilled and tapped for a Weaver Number 4 mount (today known as a Number 48404). The mount is not present, but filler screws have been installed to protect the action form the elements. Unfortunately, someone has put their initials in the left side of the receiver. Fortunately, they were lightly applied and are not very deep. The 81 retains most if not all the bluing very well and is in better condition in this category than most of the Model 81s I have seen. The wood furniture bears a few scratches and dings here and there but no cracks and the finish appears to be original to the gun. Mechanically, the 81 is in great shape, and operates as it should. The trigger pull is consistent and short. The bore is in pristine condition. Like most hunting rifles, this one was fired infrequently. With a proper scope, mount, and some ammo, this would continue to be an effective short-range deer rifle.
