📋 About This Mod
REMINGTON MODEL 8/AUTOLOADING RIFLE
- Small Update: Slight texture and model tweaks, carved stock option now looks better.
- This mod replaces the Semi Auto Shotgun
- Everything is customisable apart from engravings. So that still leaves metal tints, varnishes, sights, stocks, wraps, leather and carvings that are customisable.
- Custom catalogue page, weapon wheel icon, item icon and compendium entry
- Uses the Semi Auto Shotgun's animations, this means the the loading animation is a little strange for a Model 8 but there is literally nothing I can do about this
- Iron sights line up and are functional, as demonstrated in the demonstration video
- Ammo capacity of 5 rounds, similar damage output and range to a Bolt Action Rifle, is actually useful for hunting
- Uses weapons.ymt
- Recommended to use with PabloNachoRamirez's Remington Autoloading Audio mod
- Credit to David7S for the original model, also credit to MaxLukSky for the enhanced wood stock textures
- Enjoy, - MrSweedgaming2

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community reception with 221 endorsements and over 22k downloads.
- Gives the Semi-Auto Shotgun slot a fresh, historically-inspired look.
- Lightweight mod that doesn't require extra frameworks.
⚠️ Cons
- Only replaces the Semi-Auto Shotgun, so it won't add a standalone weapon.
- May conflict with other mods that alter the Semi-Auto Shotgun.
- No custom animations or sounds—uses the original shotgun's behavior.
For players who want a classic rifle aesthetic without overhauling the game. If you're tired of the standard shotgun model and want something more traditional, this is a quick swap. Skip if you're looking for a new weapon with unique stats or mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place this mod after any other mods that modify the Semi-Auto Shotgun in your load order to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the weapon in-game to confirm the replacement looks right before committing.
- Since it's a replacement, you won't need to craft or find the rifle—it will appear wherever the Semi-Auto Shotgun normally spawns.
