Remington 81 in 35 Remington

Post by TNyoteboy »

Hi all. I just picked up a Remington 81 in 35 Rem and I have a question. Did any of the grades come with nickel screws, safety lever and magazine side springs? All of the screws, even the rear sight screws are nickel. This rifle has a plain buttstock and forearm, but at least for the buttstock, it looks like a replacement as it has a gap between it and the receiver. The barrel appears to be nickel too (not the jacket). Any thoughts?

I'll see if I can get some better pics close up to show you.

I dont believe your sccrews are nickled. I just dont think they were reblued when they reblued the rest on the metal. Looks like they cleaned them up and removed the old bluing and jusy left them silver.

Makes sense, does add a little something to it.
