Those and their winchester counterparts generally were sold to prisons for guard guns.

Re: What Is This Rifle?
That is a model 8 Remington. They came in 25 Rem, 30 Rem, 32 Rem and 35 Rem. Later became the model 81 and 300 Savage was added. I have a 81 model in 35 Rem made in 1949. Browning designed recoil operated. Where did you find the picture? Was it from a movie? Thanks..Les
This is plagiarized from someone else, but I love it!
I was born a gun owner.
It wasn't a choice.
I didn't become one later in life.

Re: What Is This Rifle?
What levergun is it that Mr. Gable is holding?
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Re: What Is This Rifle?
Looks to me a Savage model 99.
Looks like he has cartridge belt and a knife in his lap.

I think that Gable pic was taken B 4 there was a Model EG.
AFAIK, the EG was introduced in 1938; Gable in 1901 - he looks a lot younger than 37 in that pic.

Re: What Is This Rifle?
The Remington Model 8 safety was the inspiration (from what I've heard) for the safety on the AK-47.
Re: What Is This Rifle?
I haven't read that he was of green or red persuasion, but he volunteered to fly in B-17's early in the war--when the odds definitely weren't in your favor.casastahle wrote:I'm not green or red but I declare Clark Gable an honorary member of the lever forum[/img]
Re: What Is This Rifle?
He loved his wife Carole Lombard so much, that after she was killed in a plane crash on a war bond tour, he never remarried.
Re: What Is This Rifle?
He remarried twice after Carole.

Re: What Is This Rifle?
OK, sorry and thanks; however, that was he married once after Carole in 1949. He was married before Carole when he was working as a gas station attendant, but was already separated before he went to Hollywood and divorced right before he married Carole. The divorce was a big stink, because the ex delayed it for money.casastahle wrote:He remarried twice after Carole.

Re: What Is This Rifle?
Clark Gable flew 5 missions with the 303rd of the 8th. Not downplaying his effort, but the bombers he flew on were given the safest position in the formation and did not carry bombs. I do not think this was Captain Gables decision, but that of bomber command. This is what my father told me, he was on all 5 missions, but in different aircraft.
BTW I think the Model 99 is a takedown.

Re: What Is This Rifle?
we lost Leslie Howard, Glenn Miller, among many, many others
Have you ever seen To Be or Not to Be (1942)? Carole Lombard was a significant loss.

Re: What Is This Rifle?
The Remington model 8 and 81 were fairly popular around here and the 35rem was the overwhelming choice of cartridge.
Clark Gable is fairly popular with my wife.........
