There is one for sale on Auction arms. You can see where Kalishnakov got hid idea for the saftey on the AK47. I have always wanted one and this one looks decent.

What is a realistic price for one of these? There isn't a whole lot of info available on them.

Remington 8

That one looks pretty good.

The Model 8 was the first successful autoloading rifle in the US.
It was a John Browning patent, probably not the greatest gun ever made but very cool looking and it is one of those things, if you want it buy it.

I would expect to see these priced in the $400-600 range depending on the part of the country you are in. They are still good shooters also if cared for, I've got a Model 81 in 300 Savage that's a lot of fun.

I don't want to start WWIII here but I always thought the Winchester Mod 1905 SL (for Self Loading) was recognized as the first successful autoloader - did the Remington beat it out, time wise?

Thats what I was toying with in my head whether or not the Winchester came before the Remington or vice versa.

Either way I am pretty sure these were the first two to be offered to the American public.

I do know it was designed by John Browning.

I have always thought it was a cool looking gun.
