Description:
The Remington Model 8 is most remembered for its use 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 its successor, the Model 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 8’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 some police models did have detachable magazines. These were only sold to police at that time. The Model 8 was available in four different cartridges, all newly developed for the rifle. These are the .25 Remington, .30 Remington, .32 Remington, and .35 Remington. They were designed to complete with Winchester’s .25-35, .30-30, .32 Winchester Special, and .35 WSL cartridges. Winchester later introduced the improved .351 and .401 WSL cartridges in an effort to beat the .35 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. 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 in good condition for its age (1927 = 93 years old) both internally and externally, though it has been modified. The majority of the finish remains. There is some finish loss on the receiver and barrel jacket. The top of the receiver and the top of the bolt exhibit light pitting. The wood furniture bears a notable ding on the left hand side of the stock, but otherwise there is only the usual handling wear. Overall, the finish appears to be original to the gun. There is a ding in the bottom of the barrel jacket but it is not deep enough to affect the cycling of the barrel. The only external modifications to the rifle are a peep rear sight being installed, the removal of the original rear sight, and the receiver was drilled and tapped for a Stith scope mount. It is not currently fitted with one. Unfortunately, the front sight blade is broken. The good news is that the base is marked Marble No.6 so the model of sight blade is at least known in order to find a replacement. Mechanically, the 8 is in great shape, and operates as it should. The trigger pull is consistent and short. The bore is in excellent condition though it should be cleaned. With the right scope and mount, or a new front sight, this Model 8 would make a nice hunting rifle.
