Remington Mle 1907-15 8mm full size

Post by GMJUNE555 »

Hello,

I have inherited a Remington Mle 1907-15 8mm rifle, full size, 32" barrel, with (2) 3rd "clips" for loading, and a very old "New" box of 20 rds of Remington 8mm ammo.

The rifle I have does not have a few of the features I see in other photos on the web. My rifle does not have grasping grooves, it is smooth like the carbine/sporter versions. My rifle has the sling ring on the right hand side of the rifle, not on the left like in many web photos. Also the sling ring is not present, there is a machined hole in the barrel strap where the ring may have been. The bayonet cap does not have the short stem like the ones on the web, it is machined smooth, and does not look like there was a stem and it broke off. The action is very smooth, and the sight is not worn at all.

My father called it his fathers "French Army Rile", that could shoot a mile with the sight upright and slid to the highest point. I believe the rifle was used for hunting in VT in the 30's and 40's. It is in pristine condition.

If anyone has any information about this version of the Remington production, and why it is different the information would be greatly appreciated. I think it is a full size version of the carbine/sporter, before it was turned into a sporter for sale to the public in the US, and not one of the French Contract Rifles due to the differences. But my father did used to mention that they had a bayonet for it a one point. But I do not know where the bayonet could be. I have seen the prices for theses rifles anywhere from $200 to $3000 on the web, but none of them have the exact features mine has, so I do not know the value of mine. The barrel has the markings of the contract rifle, and the weapon does not have a serial number. The differences are in the stock, and the barrel straps.

Thanks
