Remington 81 - 5 different grades? UPDATEPICTURES

oldgunman

Have a remington 81 in 300 savage. It has a gold front sight, gold trigger, and chrome? trigger guard and magazine. Read where there were 5 upgrades but can not find any info on what they are exactly or is there a book I can refer to? Thanks.

One model had a detchable magazine.. Think it was sold to law officers.

John Henwood's "The Great Remington 8 and Model 81 Autoloading Rifles" should have the information you're interested in...

REALLY don't think this is original. Just plain looks off for anything I have ever seen in the upper end of 8's and 81's. There should have been some scroll engraving even on the guns that HAD gold accent. Someone got bored and chromed it...excellent finish choice for a deer rifle?!?!
