32 Remington Rimless cartridges were ballistic twins of the. And with the rifle came the introduction of four equally new cartridges designed specifically for it. The Model 8 "Remington Autoloading Repeating Rifle"-as it was originally called when it was introduced in 1906-was by far the most successful of the early centerfire autoloaders. Through the decades I have examined many Model 8 and Model 81 rifles, some showing signs of extremely hard use, and not a single one had a loose barrel. In addition to being extremely user friendly, the takedown system also compensates for wear.
This exposes a takedown lever at the front of the receiver, and when it is rotated counterclockwise about seven complete revolutions, the shank of the barrel can be pulled forward and out of the receiver. After a coin is used to loosen the forearm retention screw, the forearm is removed from the barrel.
This makes it more compact for transporting and also allows the bore of the barrel to be cleaned from the chamber end. Like a number of early rifle designs, the Model 8 is easily taken down into two short pieces.
