Remington Model 8 35 Remington w/ Marbles Sight (take down)

[TTundra]

Here is a fun one. Remington Model 8 in 35 Remington (take down) with a Marbles rear sight. Who doesn't love the "Great Model 8"? This rifle was built in June of 1931. Stock has not been cut down and has the original buttplate. Comes with the Marbles rear sight, barrel rear sight removed and filler screws present. Wood condition is nice, but has some dings and marks and one area a little more so (pictured, front right forend). Previous owner at one point tried to spot treat some ares with cold blue, so there are a few spots of distortion, and some minor pitting under the repair blue job. There appears to be a possible crack at the rear of the tang, I cant get a finger nail in it, but it is a slightly darker mark that is not wood grain. All in all, its not a show stopper, but still a bear stopper. Functions perfectly and fires fine. Comes with 5 dummy 35 rem cartridges with rubber primers and about (10) 8mm Mauser stripper clips (they work for the 35 rem model 8s). I'm simply selling as Ive found a slightly better Model 8 that this will help pay for a portion of. If you know these rifles, they are getting a little harder to find as time goes on.

Due to the new laws, cashiers check or money order preferred, can also do a personal check and ship after it clears. Needs to go to FFL or C&R. Feel free to ask any questions.

Asking $850 + shipping. Will trade for a BLR 325WSM takedown (specific, I know)

Legendary Texas Ranger Frank Hamer would approve of this rifle. He used a modified version of it (15 round mag) when he ended the crime spree of Bonnie and Clyde.

Very cool!

Very cool!

That, Sir, is a real classic. My Dad had one when I was a kid in the 1950s and we hunted a lot with it. I don't remember what became of it and he got an 81. Didn't like it as much.

What a shame! Great government decisions “for the better good”?

Beautiful, I have never seen one. The receiver (specially the right side) looks very similar to what the AK-47 receiver looks like even the safety selector. I wonder if the Soviets used this rifle as a prototype?

Good observation. They do copy everything. Hugo Schmeisser was a slave laborer under Kalashnikov. It’s clear who designed the AK. I always thought Hugo took the best components of weapons he saw during the war and mixed them together in an affordable platform, the AK47. Basically a Sturmgewehr style weapon with an M1 Garand two lug bolt, MP44 style gas rod, and other good ideas stolen from various weapons. Of course cost and ease of production were top considerations. But it was the best of World War II technologies in one convenient, cheap package.

Another reason to thank John Browning!

I HAD ONE & GOT A NEED FOR CASH, AGAIN!
A GREAT, THUMPER!

I love that most just like these rifles. Someone give this one a good home!

Hot damn I would take this off your hands if I wasnt saving for ring and married life. Have one in 32 Remington I got for $450 and ever since I've wanted the whole set

I Love my Model 8 and my 325 WSM BLR. That 325 did wonderfully in Africa last year and everyone was flipping out about it being lever action instead of the bolt actions they are so used to seeing.

That is a subject of some dispute.

The Great Model 8 & 81 » Frank Hamer’s Rifle

I have two of these rifles, one is a model 8 in Frank Hamers personal favorite round, the .25 Remington and the other is the later model 81 in .30 Remington.
There is a great book about Hamer's life called TEXAS RANGER by John Boessenecker, and the taking down of Bonnie and Clyde is covered.
The portrayal of Hamer in the 60's movie Bonnie and Clyde is ridiculous as "acted" by Denver Pyle.

What new laws do you refer to?

@sestoppelman new taxes for use on PP, Zelle, Venmo for anything over $600. Now, it seems there is gray area for calling it a "reimbursement" or selling at a loss. Either way, there will be more eyes on it.

IRS Delays Requiring Users of Venmo And Other Payment Apps To Report Transactions Over $600

Taxpayers who use Cash App, Venmo and similar payment apps have been given another reprieve from a change that will require more reporting to the IRS. App users are currently required to report payments if they’re in the tens of thousands of dollars, and if numerous transactions are completed dur

Thought that was just for business transactions, not private.

As I understand it, it's any sales transaction, personal or private. Though again, I'm not sure how they (3rd party apps) will determine that.

 

[sestoppelman]

This is why it seems to be business.

The new rule results from the American Rescue Plan signed into law in March 2021 and will mainly impact business owners using third-party payment network providers. The IRS is cracking down on payments received through apps, such as Cash App, Zelle or Paypal to ensure those using the third-party payment networks are paying their fair share of taxes.

"Fair share"... theres a buzzword. Its not like we are taxed exhorbitantly on everything we purchase, sell or own already
