The description strongly cautions viewers against attempting these procedures without the necessary skills, highlighting the powerful recoil spring of the Model 81. It clarifies that the video is intended for learning and not as a step-by-step tutorial, emphasizing safety and expertise. The content is presented as a demonstration rather than a beginner's guide.
This video provides an in-depth explanation of the long recoil operating system in firearms. It details how the barrel moves rearward with the bolt, remains locked until the full travel is achieved, and then unlocks to allow the bolt to stay rearward while the barrel returns forward. The description highlights the system's safety benefits due to the extended time for pressure venting, but also notes its mechanical complexity and higher felt recoil. Examples of firearms utilizing this system are given, including the Chauchat LMG, Remington Model 8/81 rifle, Browning Auto-5 and Winchester Model 1911 shotguns, and the Former Stop handgun, all dating from the early 20th century.
This video details the Remington Model 81 Special Police rifle, a derivative of John Browning's successful Model 8. The description highlights the Peace Officer Equipment Company's magazine conversion for the Model 8 and how Remington later adopted and refined this for the Model 81 as a factory option. It notes the rifle's limited production and sales, with the LA County Sheriff being a significant customer. The video likely offers a historical and technical overview of this particular firearm.
This video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the history and mechanics of the Remington Model 8 rifle, designed by John Browning. It explores its production run from 1906 to the 1950s and its availability in four proprietary rimless calibers: .25, .30, .32, and .35 Remington. The description also highlights the introduction of the Model 81, which was mechanically identical but featured a heavier forestock, semi-pistol grip, and was chambered in .300 Savage. The video contrasts the Model 8's complex long-recoil action with the Winchester 1905/07/10 series' simpler direct blowback system, noting both rifles are largely overlooked today despite their historical significance and use by hunters.
Larry Potterfield, founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, examines the Remington Model 81 Auto Loading Rifle.
