Good day at the gun show yesterday

Posted by David Hardy · 4 February 2007 12:13 PM

Saw a Remington 81, the old semiauto hunting rifle, in .300 Savage. Bright bore, only a few minor scratches on the metal. Got it for $280. From what I see, they go for more like $400+. It was a John M. Browning design, produced from 1936 to 1950.

I have no practical use for it ... haven't had time to go deer hunting in decades, and iron sights aren't much use in the desert, but just wanted one as a collector item. I know at least one expert who contends that Kalashnikov took the idea for his selector switch from its safety.

More than just the selector switch. The AK action is basically a Remington Model 8 (or 81) converted from long recoil to gas operation. When you get a chance, compare the bolt and bolt carrier to an AK.

Collector's Firearms in Houston has one in .300 Savage they want $575 for. I'd say you did quite well.
