UNIQUE Remington, Model 81 KRIEGER (Modified detachable clip), marked .35 Rem Cal., MFG. 1949, SN: 50262, Semi-auto take-down rifle, 22'' barrel, One of the features hunters & shooters often hoped from Remington was a detachable magazine rather than the standard fixed mag. Remington never offered this feature in the model 8 or 81& thus many a gunsmith or garage fiddler attempted a conversion. Most were little more than butcher jobs that often compromised functionality. There are a few exceptions however, & the most notable is the work of R. Krieger & Sons of Mt. Clemens, Michigan. Their conversions were done using the rifles existing 4/5 round box magazine. What sets a Krieger apart from all other conversions is the outstanding quality of the machine work, an almost factory appearance. Krieger & Sons also had a gunsmiths working knowledge of the 8/81 action & knew the necessary alterations to ensure safe, reliable operation. It is not known how many of these conversions were performed, but we do know they were done in the late 1940s & early 1950s. Originally conversions were priced at $20. In 1951 Kriegers were advertised in NRAs American Rifleman, with conversions costing $25 & $12.50 per extra magazine. A Krieger is one of the few modification to an original factory rifle that does not typically detract from its value, rather most Krieger rifles demand a premium in todays collecting environment. On this rifle, the original factory flat grip wood stock & forearm are excellent, with several minor scuffs, scratches & contusions to the excellent finish. The upper corners of the wrist on each side have small slivers/chips of missing wood. The original metal blue finish rates 90% overall. However, there is a 1''X2'' area under the bolt handle on the right side of the receiver that once had a name or number etched into the metal. That has been removed or polished away & a cold blue finish has been used to try & cover the area. The barrel carries an adjustable rear & blade front sights. Stock carries the original checkered metal buttplate. Bore is excellent. 4 shot detachable magazine. A quality & very nice looking Krieger 81 rifle in the popular hunting caliber of 35 Rem. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 1200 to 1800
