I took my Rem 81 out and it has that flute in the stock but the wrist is a lot shorter.
But after looking at the model 8 i think you may be right on, here`s a picture of one with a peep sight, looks the same.

I grew up in Brownsville, and am still here to this day. Tapaderos are common for brush country riders to this day. Those on this old boys saddle look new and have a Mexican flair to them, although the saddle is not Mexican. He may have bought the "taps" accross the river.
I find the cut on his jacket interesting. high on the back with long drooping pockets in the front, which look to be well filled. I don't recall seeing another like it.
Brownsville has always been an unswept corner of the border with lots of violence. That still persists today with the drug cartels. Still wild and wooly and full of fleas!
Dang cool , thanks for posting the picture, may have to make a pair.

IM thinking the M 8 Remington also . MOST of the WIn 95s had the LYman Side mount PEEP, if they had a peep . NOT THE TANG SIght . The stock configuration is NOT WIN from all the ones I have seen . SPURS ? I don't have a clue LOL
The right way is always the hardest. It's like the law of nature , water always takes the path of least resistence...... That's why we get crooked rivers and crooked men . TR Theodore the Great

Yep, I'm changing my vote to the mdl 8 also. If you look VERY closely, you can see what appears to be the round part of the action just forward of what we're taking for a tang sight (relative to the muzzle, or behind relative to the horse's direction)... That went unnoticed before.

rangerider - Well now I understand the bottle opener description of the spurs. How you saw that from the picture posted here still amazes me. You should have been a detective. - DixieBoy
