Just joined. Reunited with my first gun givin to me by my grandfather when I was 15 or 16. Lost track of it 40+ yrs. mom called and said there was a gun case way back in the attic. She’s 84 so my brother goes there and digs it out. He said it was a Model 8. That was useless to me cause it’s been so long. The only thing I can remember about a gun I lost is was it heavy and did it have a fat barrel. He said yes. I could not believe it. That was my first gun. And It Was a hell of a recoil. Wow. I think I weighed 135 back then. But anyway that’s my story how I acquired my Model 8. Now I’m trying to find ammo for it. .30 Cal. And trying to locate tool to take barrel apart to check it out. The gun looks beautiful. Clean and no scratches. Working on dates it was produced. That’s my story

Great story. Pictures are always nice and your gun sounds like a nice example. .30 Remington is hard to find as they quit manufacturing it in 1997. I may have a box I would sell you, though.
