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 81 both used the same long-recoil method of operation as used in the Browning’s Auto-5 shotgun and the 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 not intended for civilian sales. 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 compete with 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 parent case for the modern 10mm Auto, 6.8 SPC, and .224 Valkyrie cartridges. 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. One last interesting piece of information about the .30 Remington. When it was originally introduced, the cartridge was actually known as the 30-30 Remington and a few rifles, such as the one here, where stamped with that designation. This was done apparently to let the intended buyer know that the cartridge was Remington’s answer to the .30-30 Winchester. However, due to the obvious confusion this could cause, the “-30” was eventually dropped from the name.
The rifle shown here is was made in 1910 and is in good condition for its age (112 years old) both internally and externally, though it has been modified. The thick what spacer is not likely factory and as such, it is believed the stock was slightly modified to accommodate it. As for the finish, the receiver, magazine, and barrel jacket have been refinished at some point. Some areas of the receiver and barrel jacket exhibit minor pits which have been covered over by the finish, which is the first indication of a re-bluing. The second is the glossy shade of bluing. In the days when the Model 8 was originally produced, Remington and most other manufactures utilized the rust bluing method. The general result was a bluing that was “flat” in appearance, i.e. it had no shine to it nor did it reflect light all that much. The glossy finish the rifle has now comes from the hot salt bath bluing process which is more common in recent decades. Rust bluing took a very long time to apply and has since been replaced by faster methods. However, even today its appearance is not easy to duplicate. Overall, the rifles current level of finish is nearly whole with little to no bare metal exposed. There are a few minor dings in the barrel jacket that were already present before the rifle was refinished. More importantly, the rifle retains most of the original engraving with some spots exhibiting a wiped effect. It should be pointed out that the first “3” in the “30-30” stamp on the rear of the barrel is partly wiped, leaving just the “0-30” fully intact. The magazine well has some type of paint covering the left wall. The gunsmith has tested this to make sure it is not rust. Overall, the Model 8 is in great shape mechanically, and operates as it should. The trigger pull is consistent and short. The bore is in excellent condition for its age, although it sees there a minute amount of pitting present two inches or so from the muzzle. It should have no effect on accuracy. The checkered woold furniture. has probably been refinished. Physically, the wood is in great shape with little in the way of scratches or dings. The rifle retains the original Remington butt plate. This rifle would make a nice addition to Remington collection.
