Remington, Model 81(CHECKERED), marked .35 REM Cal., MFG: 1938, SN: 5611, Semi-auto take-down rifle, 22'' barrel, This is a Standard Grade rifle which was ordered with additional factory hand checkering. These are often referred to as deluxe or semi deluxe, but not to be confused with a Special Grade ''B or C Grade), as they do not have the upgraded wood of the Special Grade rifles. The Model 81 was manufactured with two different forearms. The first 4 1/4 to 5 years of production found the Model 81 stocked with the ''semi-beavertail'' style (referred to as simply beavertail moving forward), which was far wider & longer than the Model 8s. In mid 1940, the beavertail forearm was dropped in favor of the new flat side style. The ''flat side'' is shorter & more narrow than its predecessor. Factory paperwork indicates the reason behind the forearm change was a decrease in labor cost going to the flat side style, but it was also rumored that they realized they likely over did it with the beavertail style due to complaints of it being too wide, too long & adding additional weight to an already fairly heavy firearm. Many collectors prefer the earlier beavertail rifles due to the aesthetics & more likely the simple fact that there were far fewer produced, about 1in 6 of total 81 production. This early third year rifle carries the beavertail forend. The original checkered & flat knob pistol grip wood stocks on this example are excellent. The finish on the stocks does appear original, but has several areas of scraped, scuffed & flaking finish loss, & may have had some areas of touch-up or added finish. The forend has had a small black diamond inlaid into the forward belly of the forend. There are also several minor nicks, scrapes & contusions to the wood. The original metal blue finish rates 90% overall, but is starting to tone slightly plum as it ages. The receiver was previously fitted with a scope & thus has four screw filled additional holes drilled into the left side. The barrel has been upgraded with a King semi-buckhorn adjustable rear sight & a Sheard front blade sight. Bore is excellent, clean & bright. Stock carries a period Noshoc solid rubber recoil pad. 4 rd fixed magazine. Sling loops. Smooth tight action. A sharp semi deluxe rifle. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 600 to 1200
