Bore Condition: The bore is bright with sharp rifling. There is no erosion in the bore. In this writer’s opinion, the bore rates 10/10.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 95% of its refinished blued finish. There are scattered light handling marks throughout. The screwheads show minor scuffs from use. Markings remain clear and legible. Overall, this rifle is in Very Good–Fine condition as refinished.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly and smoothly. We did not fire this rifle. As with all previously owned firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Box Paperwork and Accessories: None included.

Our Assessment: Introduced in 1936, the Remington Model 81 Woodsmaster was the successor to the Model 8, continuing John Browning’s classic semi-automatic rifle design. Chambered in .35 Remington, a favored round for North American big game hunters, the Model 81 earned a reputation for reliability, accuracy, and powerful performance.

This particular example was produced in October 1946 and has undergone professional refinishing along with the addition of new, attractive walnut furniture. The original metal buttplate shows honest wear consistent with age and field use. Retaining approximately 95% of its refreshed finish and featuring a bore rated at 10/10, this rifle remains a superb choice for collectors and hunting enthusiasts alike.
