What's Included
- Remington Model 8 Standard Grade (A) semi-automatic rifle chambered in .25 Remington (manufactured 1908)
Made in the United States in 1908, this Standard Grade (A) Model 8 carries the early "Remington Arms Co." rollmark alongside Browning patent dates. That period-correct marking, paired with its .25 Remington chambering and 22-inch barrel, places it squarely among the earliest iterations of Remington’s autoloading sporting rifles.
The long-recoil, rotating-bolt action is paired with a top-ejecting system that includes a sliding port cover. Controls include a manual safety and bolt lock, with the bolt knob located within the ejection port. The full-length barrel jacket is integral to the design and contributes to the rifle’s characteristic profile.
This is a true takedown configuration for ease of transport and maintenance. Feeding is via an integral 5-round internal box magazine loaded from the top. Sighting is handled by open iron sights: a drift-adjustable front blade and an open rear leaf with an elevator for elevation adjustments.
Stocked in smooth, straight-grip walnut with a matching walnut fore-end, the rifle retains factory sling hardware (fore-end eyelet and rear sling eye). The checkered steel buttplate is marked "Remington Arms Co." Metal components are blued carbon steel, and the length of pull measures 13.75 inches.
