Looking at a Remington Model 8 marked 25-35 Remington on the barrel. Found a single net post delineating 25-35 Remington cartridge as Experimental (http://www.armorypublications.com/2001/4-01.htm - single UMC case headstamped...) vs a 'standard' 25 Remington.
I am seeing that maybe early 8 bbl's were marked 25-35 Rem, but that it is expected it will be a std 25 Rem (early 25-35 Rem experiment didn't go well/Mdl 8 bbls marked were REALLY std 25 Rem in production); also seeing that anything marked 25-35 Rem is/has probably been reamed to std 25 Rem. Also seeing that IF it were the experimental 25-35 Rem, it could be reamed to 25 Win and fire-formed?
Rifle is a Model 8, bbl marked 25-35 Rem. Prob collector significance (I just want a shooter) - but... don't want to get stuck with a wildcat/project either!
Thoughts?
