Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Remington did a crazy thing in 1905. They produced the first successful semi-automatic rifle. Well, they produced a John Browning design alongside FN. FN produced the rifle outside of the United States, and Remington took it to the American market. The Remington Model 8 came first and was somewhat successful. It wasn’t a dominant market force due to the premium it demanded, but it sold well. Well enough that Remington did a few updates to the gun, which went on to become: the Model 81 Woodsmaster. The changes were mostly cosmetic. The stock and forearm were changed. The stock got a pistol grip, and the forearm was enlarged. The Remington Woodsmaster would be produced until 1950.
The Model 8 and Remington Model 81 used a long recoil system designed by John Browning. Compare the weapon side by side with a Browning Auto 5, and you’ll see similarities. The humpback nature of the guns shows that they share a common parentage. With a long recoil system, the barrel recoil rearward with the bolt for a short distance.
Two springs make the Remington Woodsmaster work. The first spring returns the barrel to its front position. This allows the weapon to extract and eject the empty case while loading a fresh case. The second spring returns the bolt to the forward position. Simple but effective. Like many weapons of the day, it is a take-down design. A single screw can be removed, and the barrel can detach from the receiver.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
