Offered in this lot is a fine example of one of Americas very first high-powered, semi-automatic, self loading rifles, a Remington Model 8, in the desirable .35 Remington caliber. The Mod. 8 was introduced in 1906, and became an instant success with hunters, lawmen, and outlaws alike. In 1934 Texas Ranger, Frank Hamer used a Remington Model 8, chambered in .35 REM to gun down famous outlaws Bonnie Parker, and Clyde Barrow. This particular rifle features a five round internal magazine, a straight grain walnut stock, and fore-grip, original buckhorn rear sight, with a correct Lyman Blade/Bead front sight, and a 22" round barrel, which utilizes a "Long Recoil Operated" action. The Model 8 was designed with practicality, and transport in mind; the screw on the fore-grip, which appears to be a sling swivel, is actually a take down screw, remove the fore-grip, and spin the exposed take-down lever, and the barrel easily detaches from the receiver for compact transport. This rifle is marked in numerous places, reading; "Model 8 Remington Arms – Union Metallic Cartridge Co. Remington Works, Ilion N.Y. U.S.A. Browning’s Patents Oct. 9.01900, Oct. 16. 1900, June 3. 1902, May 14. 1907, Feb. 14. 1911." on the top of the barrel in front of the rear adjustable buckhorn sight, and "35 REM." on the bolt. The metal butt-plate also shows good, intact condition, showing the "Remington Arms CO." Plaque. Manufacture date of April, 1925. Serial Number: 50594. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
