• History of WWI Primer ...
Mae: "A semi-pistol grip would be nice."
Remington Model 81: "Let me introduce myself."
The Woodsmaster was the first rifle I ever hunted with. Still love it to this very day.
Had a Model 81 in 300 Savage and it was a tack driver. That's one I wish hadn't gotten away.
lmao true
I have a model 8 with a semi-pistol grip. Yes it is a model 8.
8 over 81 all day
Man, that safety really reminds me of the AK’s.
In addition, I’ve seemed to have a growing crush on slender self-loading rifles with long, exposed barrels, no handguards or gas tubes to offput the symmetry.
That's where it comes from. The gas system was taken from the Garand.
If I remember correctly the safety is based off it, the gas system and rotating bolt from the garand, general form factor from the stg44, the later stamped sheet metal receivers was also pioneered by the germans. I'm sure Mikhail Kalashnikov had other influences too
Mikhail Kalashnikov took inspiration from many existing guns. I would not be suprised if the AK's safety and switch design was improved copy of this.
Standing on the shoulders of giants and such.
I was under the impression that Simonov was developing the SKS concurrently, as a carbine with the characteristics of the Garand, where the AK was being developed as basically a beefed up SMG. Keep in mind before the STG was named that by Hitler it was classified as an Machine Pistole… I am aware that getting around Hitlers initial objections to the concept of an intermediate rifle round and his obsession with WWI era marksmanship concepts made smg classification necessary for funding and all… but sources do claim the AK was developed to replace SMGs and the SKS to act as standard issue battle carbine, until they realized that AK could do it all?
John Browning was an absolute genius.
With 128 gun patents to his name I would have to agree with you
He sure was. He invented entirely new categories of firearms.
Time traveler
well it was a worse RSC 17 imo
all hail john moses browning: the gun god
The AK safety/selector must have been inspired by this system
Хм ! 🤔🤔🤔
Вполне возможно !!!
Тоже заметил сходство !!!
I’m waiting for the one time she fires the gun before the intro and I have a heart attack
That's the magic of editing: no heart attacks for you!
I've always wanted one of these because of how unique it is.
Ya gotta get the Remington 81 special police
*laughs in: BF1 Medic Class*
Same here, I had the chance, I found one at Cabelas a few years ago for a great price and didn't get it. :(
@@MrSpeedysChannel They are frequently available on Gunbroker.com. Some in pretty nice condition, for their age. Others....not so much.
@Mr. Duckhead I got the joke
Frank Hamer used one when he and his team were taking out Bonnie and Clyde
wrong! there was one there that day used by Louisiana deputy printis oaky. he borrowed it from a dentist. he shot Clyde in the head with it.
How can they tell who shot who? The pair got Swiss cheesed.
You mean "assassinated Bonnie & Clyde" don't you?
@@lightweight1974 Assassinated? Massacred more like
Good job for Frank Hamer he made the world a better place to live in!!! 👍
Uncle Al had an enviable collection of 8’s and 81’s, in all grades and calibers. Al called them “autochuckers” and he would’ve loved this vid.
Cheers uncle al
One of the guns Bonnie and Clyde went up against in their last moments.
This and a Colt Monitor would make a great duo in a gun collection
Yes, the police version with the extended mag!! Very cool!!
I love the way Mae smiles after the last shot in each of these Minute of Mae videos. Such a lovely smile.
One of the most underrated hunting rifles there are, especially in .300 Savage
the ejection is weak because it's long recoil, like the French chauchat and browning auto 5. bolt velocity doesn't contribute to ejection. The bolt doesn't doesn't remove the case from the barrel, as much as the bolt is stationary and the barrel is removed from over the case then kicked out. If anyone wanted to know.
That safety looks so smooth... and the way it seals that gap...
An excellent, if odd, firearm; plus Mae.
HUZZAH!
Please become Five Minutes of Mae - you have so much to tell us, and I really don't often have an hour and more to listen to Othias' wisdom on the same weapon. It'd still be bite size, it'd still be a leader into the full fat long C&R video, I just think a lot of us would enjoy it more if you werten't so pressured for time?
The MoM is intended as a medium that will draw viewership to the full-boat C&Rsenal episodes. As a quick teaser, it foxes the YT algorithm and actually gets recommended. Brevity is its very reason for existence. Instead of a longer MoM, a case could be made for "C&Rsenal Cliff's Notes" with the highlights of the hour-long Primer episode edited into a 5 or 10 minute format as you suggest, but I suspect that Othais doesn't want to go there as it would be treading dangerously close to his friend Ian's toes...
I could watch long recoil actins all day long. It’s mesmerizing ❤️
Been waiting for this one for so long! Love the model 8!
I have one of these in 30 Remington mine was made in 1907 I love it!!!!
I love the simple aesthetics of this piece
Watched a guy from about 300 yards away thump 2 quick rounds at a running buck, probably 110 yards from this hunter, second round the buck folded like a wet newspaper. Figured might as well walk up n jawjack with the guy. Dude was shooting a model 8 in .35 Rem. Told me gun was handed down to him, only rifle he hunted with. What a classic, what a sound on a cold crisp morning.
What a beauty, the classic Remington is nice too. Women that like guns are so much better than other ones that don’t
I like her wholesome girl next door look. She's easy on the eyes too.
Thank you Mae
Mae is such a Queen. 🙌🏻
A video series based around a time-limited format that's actually exactly long as advertised, this is amazing stuff! Thanks for the quick breakdown on this interesting firearm.
I would love a two minutes of mae
Yep! Winchester stepped all over themselves when they refused to buy this Browning design, along with the Legendary Auto-5... Also, like my Gran-Grans model-8 in .30-Remington. It had problems with that final round being incredibly hard to fit into the magazine, It turned out that some time in the past the magazine follower spring was installed backward. The follower spring design is counter intuitive. But once assembled correctly the fifth round seated with ease during single loading, or from one of the original 5-round stripper clips we have.
On my "dream gun" list right there... ("dream" being the most accurate word to describe the list).
I would love one . Awesome cool old gun
Sooooooo underrated.
Saw 3 of these at my local gun shop. I kinda want one.
Dude. Get one. Then save the other 2 for me
How much are they asking for them?
@@TriZaba They're going up for auction this weekend. So, the price is still unknown. The shop usually has all sorts of shit that's been featured on Primer. 2 WWII Springfield Snipers, and an M1C Garand are going up for auction as well. They have a walls of just surplus arms. Berthiers, Martini Henrys, Lee Enfields, no joke, if you name it they probably have it. Even a Johnson Rifle.
Lucky. I've never even seen one on real life.
@@vive6500 I suggest sending the auctions date and location to Ian at Forgotton Weapons he would probably appreciate it
Always great shooting 👍☕😎
This is one design I'd love to see make a comeback.
Definitely!!
The smile at the end says it all ^-^
That safety selector looks really familiar.
Yes please compare it to the FN 1900.
love her smile :)
Big fan of Mae
I love this chanel!
Browning AK? Hmmmmm
Yeah, naah.
Other than 1) it's a rifle, and 2) it has an ejection port-covering safety, they're nothing at all alike.
@@lairdcummings9092 it also weighs about the same and has a similar enough rear sight
@@doublepiedavid8908 so, AK must be the Russian Remington knock-off, based on superficial data.
Gotcha. Mikhail Kalashnikov, ripoff artist.
Good to know.
🙄
That's generally believed to be the inspiration for the AK's safety. I think Ian touched on that in his video about the models 8 & 81.
The Model 8 was produced between 1906-1939 and the Model 81 between 1936-1950. That gets me thinking of an AK in 300 Savage or 35 Remington.
Enjoyable, as always. So close to a practical semi-auto battle rifle, yet so far.
Getting a time machine and telling Remington to invest in an autoloading rifle as the weapon of the future
To who? You do know the US Ordnance isn't that open to new bullet guzzlers until the 1960's. Same as the rest...
Pretty funny that these rifles did enjoy a certain popularity in law enforcement and Fed. Bureau of Prisons use. At one time, Midway Arms bought a large amount of .30 Remington FMJ ammo as surplus. They made some money using the cartridge cases to make custom ammo for Japanese Nambu pistols. Funny that the .30 Remington govt surplus ball ammo wasn't very valuable 40 years ago. Can you imagine having one of the prison guns along with original ammo now?
I love it
As the others have noted a model 81 will give you the pistol grip. It was available in 300 Savage as well!
I own one of these and it's one of my favorite rifles.
Such a smooth rifle
Hey look it's the AK selector
The adorableness factor here is off the charts.
Very nice.
Safety: I guess you aren’t ready for that, but your kids are gonna love it.
I love this rifle.
Have C&Rsenal done a video on the M1907? The gun with the charging "handle" under the front end of the gun.
yes they have. and the later 1910 variation I believe
Love my Model-81
A slow motion camera would be the peanut butter to this jelly.
Great in it's day when it was the only really effective semi-auto rifle you could buy. When WW2 came along and gas operated guns proliferated, the model 8 started looking like a quaint antique.
Thank you kind people’s
I started watching these for the guns. Now I watch them for Mae...🥰
its the first time in my life i see this gun . 1000 point for this site 👍
What type charger clips did y’all use in the rifle?
Very nice :)
0:26 I guess we knbow where Mikhail Kalashnikov got the AK's safety mechanism inspired from.
I have one model 8 and 2 of the model 81's. The 8 is in 32 Remington and the 81's are in .300 Savage and 35 Remington.
Now that is a neat rifle.
It's funny that the AK47 is the symbol of the Soviet Ingenuity, while its concept was heavily inspired by STG44, It's aesthetics was inspired from Thompson SMG, it's trigger group wascopied from M1 Garand, and its safety switch was copied from Remington Model 8, all American weapons except for its concept
I keep finding these in .32 Remington. You'd think the .35 Remington would be more common.
@Mr. Cool Actually, there was the very similar (if a touch hotter) .35 Winchester, introduced in 1903 for the Model 1895. Doesn't seem to have done that well commercially though.
My local Cabela's is full of these
I wonder how much influence the safety had on the Russian AK ?
I bet this rifle's safety lever would be use for the Kalashnikov
Almost got one of these. But picked up a Winchester 1907 instead. I wish I had the money for both.
these are fantastic guns.. ihadone with an customised detachable magazine
Who else misses the shot groups?
Those are in the longer videos.
Muy bueno tu vídeo saludos desde Argentina
Nice looking rifle
Weak ejection you mean??? As a reloader, I would love to have any of my SA battle rifles be like this... My Galil ARM, AG42, and Argentine FN49 in 7.62, in particular, send brass into a low earth orbit.
John Browning was a Genius!!!
Browning was so early that he made that safety lever.
My Lord, this is a good as Netflix.
Model 8 Mae
The American Sks
I have a pair of 81's in 300 Savage that I use for deer. One is mint other than some idiot drilling it for a scope, and the other has some dings but also a Lyman tang sight. I use the scoped rifle at dawn and dusk, and the open sighted rifle for daytime hunts. Both kill deer stone dead. Shot a 1/2 inch group with the open sight rifle at 83 yards this year using 60 year old soft point ammo. Crazy.........
Loooove all of Browning rifles
I would love to have 1 of these in .35 Rem. I would also like to have an 81 in .300 Savage. That was probably the high point of the design. I believe the USMC used model 8 or 81 rifles in .30 Rem., in combat during the first offensive raid against a Japanese held island after Pearl was attacked. Kind of a special ops and equipment one time deal. Why they didn't use M1s is a mystery to me.
Not enough M1s to go around. The Army was in a massive expansion using all the M1s that could be produced. Marine Corps having the secondary equipment until the Army has its fill.
The Model 8 is not a good military weapon. Look at anyone disassembling the weapon. Too many small parts. But for closer range combat a .35 isn't all that bad and in the hands of troops who can exercise the required level of care, I can see the benefit over a Springfield 1903.
@@iansneddon2956 The .30 Remington was the cartridge that the USMC used in their Remingtons. I believe the Federal Bureau of Prisons also made extensive use of it in these rifles too. That might well have been why there were enough rifles and ammo available or rapidly made to minimally outfit 1st Marine Raiders.
Muito bom, gosto muito destes vídeos curtos.
Please show us her group!
I like your cool videos
Спасибо.
There are a lot of weapons I had never seen or heard before.
This is a sweet little whitetail rifle if you can get your hands on one.
Can you make a video about the mas 36 rifle
What about the Police Special with the extended detachable magazine?
I wish I had mine still.
I inherited an SA 8. I cleaned it up. But I am not changing anything on it. Semiautomatic s are not my thing. But it is a very nice rifle. Is it a long recoil a tion?
Did this get made before sks? Has similar shape but different.
Fan from India 🙏
I have one of the rare semi pistol grip variants (you could special order them), and it's not much better. The grip itself is comfortable, but the the trigger is so far forward of it that's not ergonomic, even with large-ish hands.
The 35 Remington is a damn fine round plenty of power but not too much recoil.
Are you insane? The model 8 kicks like a fucking mule. I’ve shot 50 bmg guns that kick less than a model 8 in 35 rem.
Never realized the buckhorn sight was for estimating bullet drop. Very ingenious.
For a guy that never scored a dedicated combat rifle that was pretty much the forerunner
If they remade this model what could they do ?
- Multiple calibers like 243,270,.300 BO,7.62x39,308,30-30,30-06,.300 Win Mag
- Peep sights and front gold bead
- Variety of stocks and finishes . Including wood or polymer. ( Like how the Browning BAR Mark III does it they use both)
- Match barrel target models
- Magnum caliber models
- Threaded 5/8x24 barrels (.30 caliber)
- Use Browning BAR Mark III 3 or 4rd magazines. Alternatively you can also use the BAR Mark III DBM 10rd magazine ( 308). Maybe contract Lancer to make polymer versions of those .
