.35 Remington Woodmaster takedown. With.... a Krieger magazine conversion!
If any of you collect Remingtons, you know these are pretty uncommon.
Lousy lighting with the pictures, so they are a little fuzzy.

Nice one. She's in great shape, too. I got a Model 8 in 30 rimless that's in decent shape, but it's near impossible to find ammo for, lol.

I am pretty happy with it so far. No I need a regular old Model 8 and a FN 1900.

That is very cool. What is the deal on the mag conversion? Did it originally not have a removable mag?

The original Model 8s and 81s had a fixed, 5-round magazine. Mine is a Krieger Conversion done by Krieger & Sons in Michigan. They had the most successful detachable magazine design and finding one of these rifles is pretty hard. I was amazed when I saw it.
The only other major conversion was the Police models with the 15-round magazines during Prohibition. They needed a car stopper that could compete with the BAR and Thommy guns, but slightly more controllable.

I have a Model 81 in pretty nice condition, in 300 Savage. I'm thinking I will get more of them. Really interesting rifles.
