The Remington Model 8 is a classic American semi-automatic rifle chambered in .35 Remington, notable for its long recoil operation. It features a 5-round capacity, a jacketed barrel for recoil management, and a semi-buckhorn rear sight. The rifle's design, including its curved buttplate and light trigger, emphasizes historical firearm engineering.

This YouTube video provides an in-depth look at the Remington Model 8 rifle, covering its history and showcasing it in action. The description links to another video for further viewing, suggesting a comprehensive exploration of the firearm.

This review covers the Belgian-made FN 1900 carbine, a semi-automatic firearm chambered in .35 Remington. Key features include its 8.8 lbs weight, 41.9-inch length, and a 5-round capacity via stripper clips. The carbine boasts a well-balanced feel, a heavy barrel jacket, a comfortable grip, and a light single-stage trigger. It utilizes a long recoil action, which results in a noticeable kick and locks open on the last round.

The Winchester Model 1911, nicknamed the 'Widowmaker,' was Winchester's attempt to circumvent John Moses Browning's patents for the Auto-5. Lacking a charging handle due to patent issues, it featured an awkward barrel-cycling mechanism. This design, coupled with a dangerous 'ground-cocking' method, earned it its ominous reputation.

The Remington Model 8 is a commercial semi-automatic carbine chambered in .35 Remington. It features a unique long recoil system, a 4-5 round capacity, and weighs 8.2 lbs with an overall length of 41 inches. The rifle has a smooth single-stage trigger and a semi-buckhorn rear sight for quick acquisition.

This video focuses on the barrel assembly and disassembly of the Remington Model 8 and 81 semi-automatic rifles. 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 from Vickers Tactical explores movie guns at ISS California, detailing modifications for blank firing. Larry Vickers and Ken Hackathorn showcase custom builds like the Colt Monitor BAR and Remington Model 8, highlighting the gunsmithing required to adapt firearms for film use while maintaining authenticity and functionality with blanks. The discussion emphasizes the technical challenges and creative solutions employed in prop gun fabrication.

This documentary from C&Rsenal's WWI Primer series explores the history, function, and live-fire demonstration of the US Remington Model 8 rifle. Presented by Othais and Mae, the video delves into this classic firearm of World War I, honoring the centennial anniversary of the conflict.

This Q&A session features Deviant Ollam, Karl from InRangeTV, and James Reeves of TFBTV discussing various firearms and security-related topics. Topics include comparisons between the M1 Carbine and M1 Garand, the viability of older semi-automatic rifles, the role of suppressors in firearm innovation, the vulnerability of the US military to electronic warfare, and practical advice on securing firearms during air travel. The discussion also touches on biometric gun locks, TSA lock cutting, and hypothetical competition divisions.

The long recoil operating system involves the barrel and bolt locking together and recoiling as a unit. This system's primary advantage is safety, as the long travel ensures chamber pressure drops before unlocking. However, it often results in higher felt recoil due to the mass of the recoiling assembly and can have weaker ejection due to the case being expelled after the barrel returns forward.

This Q&A video covers a wide range of firearms-related topics, including discussions on advanced recoil systems (AK-107, AN-94), the effectiveness of lever-action rifles in 2-gun competitions, and comparisons between AK-74 and AR-15 platforms. It delves into practical aspects like barrel choice (flash hider vs. brake) for competition carbines, the utility of Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs) for home defense and competition, and optimal gear for 2-gun matches. The video also touches on historical firearms (Colt 1851/1860 vs. Remington 1858), the impact of AR-15 magazine constraints on cartridge development, the future of AK platforms under import bans, and the role of binary triggers in PCCs. Other topics include firearm optics, military weapon choices, and the practicality of specific shooting stages.
