    Item: Remington Model 8
    Location: NW Houston
    Ship: Yes, FREE to buyer
    Payment: Cash, USPS Money Order

    Up for sale is a Remington Autoloading Rifle; this model later became known as the Model 8. It is chambered in .30 Remington. This example was produced in 1908. Bluing is about 60% (receiver is 95%, barrel shroud about 30%) and the wood, while worn, is in good condition for being over 100 years old. I have shot it; the barrel is a bit sticky and should be taken apart to be cleaned. The action is solid.

    The rifle comes with 32 rounds of ammo + 1 spent case. Ammo for this rifle is scarce and costs about $3 per round. Buffalo Arms is the only ammo manufacturer that I know of that produces this ammo, and they only make it from time to time. RCBS does make dies for .30 Remington (cannot use .30-30 dies).

    Rebel,

    VERY NICE. ---- IF it was in .300 Savage or .35 Remington caliber, I would have already sent you a 400.oo USPS money order.
    (I really don't need another obsolete caliber to load.)

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING, satx

    Gunz are icky.
    I have a Remington 141 pump rifle in the same caliber.
    It's a wonderful rifle and round. The .30 Remington caliber is the ballistic twin of the .30-30 Winchester.
    Ammo has become pretty much unobtanium these days so it never gets fired. Sad really.

    Good luck on the sale.

    Man I am tempted. If it was .35 I would have pulled the trigger already but it's a great price and a great gun.

    It's the Ship: NO that has me saying NO.

    I don't have a spare 10 hours to drive that far. My neighbor has a model 14 pump and some ammo so I thought we could get together and reload??

    Interesting self loader though.
