I tried Winchester and Federal 150-gr loads for the .300 Savage, and also Hornady’s new Superformance load in that caliber. This featured rifle (# 48XX) was originally from Val. I may also need to be concerned with function, as I had a few jams during the shooting sessions, in spite of earlier statements about how well Browning designs work. Both parts can be removed with clockwise rotation of the T handles without fear of the components flying across the room under spring tension! $19.99. According to the FN manual, the position for standard shooting is set for 100 meters.
The Remington Model 81 Woodsmaster The resemblance born by this arm to the A5 semi-auto shotgun is apparent in the first picture.
The bolt, therefore, rotates to lock into this barrel extension, not into slots machined in the receiver, as would be the case with the vast majority of rifles. Well, we know from experience with another Browning invention, the Model 1911 Government Model .45 ACP, that the answer is “pretty darn good!” An army of NRA Bullseye shooters have proven that.
One version had a standard barrel jacket like the Model 8, the other a solid barrel rib running the length of the jacket.Below is a list of features unique to the FN Browning Patent 1900,– Stocks and forearms were made of European walnut hand cut checkered to 20 lines per inch– Buttstocks were round knob semi-pistol grip style.– Buttplates were made of horn, identical to the A5 shotgun. In 1936, Remington dropped the Model 8 and introduced the Model 81 Woodsmaster with improvements by C.C.
It’s estimated from studying serial numbers that this version accounts for 15% or less of all FN’s produced.The tangent rear sight on this version is marked with adjustable gradients from 100-500 meters.
Now a couple of failed marriages ago. But you know the old saw. NR Rare .
In 1911, the rifle earned the designation “Model 8.” It was Remington’s first modern, high-power, repeating rifle design, coming to the market six years before Remington introduced its slide-action Model 14 in the same chamberings and 15 years before it offered its first modern sporting bolt-action rifle.

– The Great Remington 8 and Model 81 Autoloading Rifles: John Henwood– FN Browning Armorer to the World: Gene Gangarosa, Jr.– Browning: Sporting Arms of Distinction 1903-1992: Matt EastmanThe Remington Model 8 rifle is long recoil-operated and uses a In 1936, Remington dropped the Model 8 and introduced the This picture should show pretty well the compact size of the 81.That and the very hard to find Police model with high cap magazine.One of the better pictures of the clean lines of this rifle looks like.
The Winchester and Federal loads gave nominal velocity for the caliber, and the Hornady Superformance did deliver a bit more than 100 fps higher velocity than these two, as advertised. It seems to me that this design is quite appropriate for a semi auto action in which recoil must rotate the bolt to unlock it from its seat, something that would be more difficult to accomplish if the bolt locked in channels in the receiver. It is currently used, for example, in the modern Browning lever action and semiautomatic, centerfire rifles, although the BAR is gas-operated.A consequence of this design is that the receiver does not have to contain the energy of a round being fired. Three engraved FN 1900’s were observed during this study, all in a private collection in the United States.The first rifle has almost 100% scroll coverage on the receiver, safety lever, trigger plate, magazine, buttplate, and barrel jacket. Thanks for Reading this note of mine this far! While many parts are interchangeable between the two rifles, many are not and a select Difference between FN (left) and Model 8 (right) operating handle arms.It was once thought that the FN was manufactured with more than one operating handle since some variations have been noticed. With each shot, the barrel moves back against a spring inside this tube, and that movement transfers energy to the bolt and allows the recoil of the shot to cycle the action. It is a taller bead, something that is needed for use with an aperture rear sight.
All of the Remington model 81 parts I'm listing here on eBay came from the same gun. I think it will be fine with more shooting.
During its 14-year run, 56,091 had been made. The Great Model 8 & 81 A fter about 69,000 Model 8’s were produced, Remington felt the old workhorse needed a facelift and in 1936 introduced the Model 81…basically the same gun with a few minor cosmetic differences such as a heavier pistol-grip stock and more robust fore-end.
I then retreated to the Local Noise Factory / Rifle Range. In two pieces, the 41" Model 8 was reduced to 23".In 1936, the Model 8 was updated as the Model 81 “Woodsmaster.” The changes were mainly cosmetic, with the Model 8’s straight-grip buttstock gaining a pistol grip.
