Remington Model 81 Woodsmaster Semi-Auto Rifle with Krieger Conversion
serial #46381, 35 Rem, 22'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this February 1949 date-coded rifle retain about 97% original blue with scattered fine oxidation, handling marks and light high edge wear. The bolt is a pewter gunmetal gray with overall fine oxidation staining and the safety lever has an added bead of metal likely to make it more user friendly as it does not appear to be a repair. The front face of the triggerguard has been converted to accept a detachable magazine and the smooth pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend rate about very good as lightly cleaned with overall handling marks and an added finish. The aluminum buttplate is intact and the rifle is sighted with an added Lyman tang sight and raised bead front sight. The rear sight has been removed and a blank added in its place. A fine large caliber semi-auto rifle with Krieger conversion that appears to function well mechanically. These conversions were advertised in the NRA's American Rifleman magazine in the early 50's. Included is a single four round modified factory magazine. (10A11696-6) {C&R} (1200/1800)
