I never understand why or how this Remington Model 8 cahambered in .35 Remington ended up with a new butt end on the stock. Whoever did the work was a skilled woodworker but forgot to finish their work. It’s a good shooter; probably reliable to 125-150 yards. It’s a takedown job too!

35 Rem doesn't get much love these days, but it's an awesome short range deer cartridge.

Now its newer brother, the Remington Model 81, chambered in .300 Savage:
 an interesting scope mount and a great old scope!

A few years ago a company in the
 ippines started to manufacture a 1911 clone. The name brand of the pistols it Rock Island. Their US corporate office is in Pharump, Nevada. Rumors abounded about the source of the tooling they used to make the guns; a common rumor was they were using old Colt Tooling. Who knows? Rock Island has never answered the question!This is a compact .45; the shop I bought it from is in Las Vegas - I probably have bought 6 Rock Islands from them so they surprised me with the custom laser engraved stocks! They were a stocking dealer and would take RIA Pistols to gun shows and after 3-4 gun shows they would put the firing pins back in them and sell them for a good discounted price. RIA treats them as a "new" gun so they are covered by the factory warranty.
