Hey Jack, Looks like you've done it big this time.I'm sure that I'm not the only member here that's in awe of this rifle. I have always believed that any FN1900, in this country, represents a "Holy Grail" of Model 8/81 collecting. However I've had to re think that belief,after seeing this rifle.I wo...

Roger

Wow, and I actually got to hold it in Kansas City! Glad I was able to go there again. I can't wait until next year s show. Any of you Midwest guys on this forum, should really consider this show. Thanks again for keeping tabs on this rare piece for us all here on the forum.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Sir,
Thanks for your continued work on this auction.It was great just being able to see this rifle in person and actually getting to hold it. It's going to be fun to see how high it goes for in this auction. And once again, thanks for your time.
Roger

Roger

Thanks for your help, guys.Ill try your suggestions

As a collector of JMBrowning guns, I own many Winchester saddle ring carbines. I find this custom addition quite tasteful.I only wish that Remington had done it themselves originally. I would definitely be interested in knowing how and where you decided to locate it within the receiver. Thanks for y...

Hey fellas, I' ve been having problems trying to find remington model 8 on gunbroker. It way be my old computer,but it continues to work on other models I go to. I' ve tried doing what Ihave been doing with the advanced search ,but it simply says there are 0 results. Have any of you guys had similar...

Roger

Sir , I'm also from Iowa, although from the southern part. I've deer hunted with many of my M8/81s. We of course had a high power late January season for 7-8 years. On e time a few years ago, I experienced some ejection problems. It was January and cold as all get out. At first I thought that the is...

I attended the Missouri Valley Arms Collectors annual gunshow in Kansas City,Mo. Yesterday with my youngest son who lives in Platte City.We saw a display for an auction company which included a model81 police gun LA Co. Police department.It was equipped with the Police Officer Equipment co.magazine....

Roger

Sir, I believe that the 8c rifles came with English walnut. They also had finer checkering,versus the deluxe checkered 8 a rifles. My 8c also has a factory grip cap. It may have been on it originally,but it may have been done at the factory when they refinished the wood and rechased the checkering. ...

Roger

Sir, great work on this family heirloom rifle. I hope it brings you many hours of pleasure in the future. I'm sure it will function perfectly. They usually do. JMB was a true American genius.
Thanks for your time, Roger

Roger

Hey Rob,
I'm sure glad you got this beautiful rifle. Those 30/30 caliber engraved pieces are quite scarce. I can't remember ever seeing one in person! I own one of the 35 caliber engraved pieces, and would like to get an engraved caliber 30 some day.Congrats again.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Welcome aboard,Sir. You'll find the membership here to be friendly and helpful. I'm very glad to see you take an interest in prolonging the life of your family heirloom rifle. I've been lucky enough to inherit my grandfather's 3 guns. Nothing from the other side of the family,nor anything from my gr...

Roger

Hey Rob, It looks like you may have a good one. I can't tell from the picture s but it appears to have the caliber engraved on the barrel jacket extension. Those are very hard to come by. Did you pay too much? I think you did fine. Hopefully it hasn't been reblued or messed with.Congrats on a great ...

Roger

My sons and I had planned to go. But once again our work has ruined our plans. I sure wish that I lived that close to Tulsa gunshow.Then I could go no matter what. We are 7-8 hrs away. Hopefully in November!
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Sir,
I've been collecting JMB designed firearms for a long time.Ive been a member of this forum for several years now.The members are friendly and helpful. I'm also from Iowa,so you are the first member that I know of that is from the Hawkeye state. Welcome aboard.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Hey there Jack,
Thank you for your kind words.I couldn't be happier than I already am with this rifle. Unfortunately our weather here in Iowa hasn't allowed me to take it to the range for testing. Maybe soon.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Hey Rob, it's great to hear from you. I bid on one of your auctions. Hope to win it.And Carl, I sent a buttplate photo to Cam. Maybe he will post it. I didn't take any pictures of the grip cap,but I will say it is UMC marked. The serial number of this rifle falls right in the pigeon hole for 1910-19...

Roger

Hey fellas, It was a difficult year in 2017. I have not been able to find much time for this forum. My father has dimmentia now,and we have had to sell everything, including our land/farm etc. in Madison county.Just to support him,as he is now in assisted living in town. He fell on concrete last Mar...

Roger

Hey fellas, I recently purchased a Remington model 8C,in 32 Rem. It's a round knob , with a pistol grip cap. That work may have been done at the factory,or not. Hard to say at this point. It's got 3 special order sights. Also may have been done at the factory. At this point, who's to say. The buttst...

Roger

Hey Cameron,
Thanks for your posting of these great pics. I look forward to seeing a new one every year.
Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all of our fellow forum members. Iowa sends out our best wishes for a happy and safe holiday season.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

I see that one of you purchased this nice Dgrade.It never even came up on my gunbroker searchs. I'm positive that I would have tried to buy it if I would have known about it. Congrats you the winner of this beautiful piece of history. Evidently I'm doing dome wrong with my gunbroker searchs.my machi...

Roger

Pretty amazing, Rob! Thanks for sharing this video with us.

Roger

Hey Rob, I'm so glad you and your family are doing well. And praises go out to him son.I too considered dragging my bass boat to Texas ,but I'm not sure my old work truck(2001) would be able to make the trip down there and back. I'm sure proud of the real Americans who have answered the calls for he...

Roger

Sir,
Welcome to our forum. You will find the members here to be very helpful. My only question to you, is what is the caliber marking on the barrel extension?
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Hey guys, I'm never going to understand what drives people when it comes to auctions of any kind. Not just online gun auctions. This rifle was a factory reblue in my opinion. Also a rebarrel and restamped barrel jacket extension. It sold for almost 2500.00$ I'm just glad that I have the model 8s and...

Roger

Hey Cam,thanks for the heads up on this one. I fear it may bring more than I'll want to spend. But it's now on my watch list,anyway.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Hey Carl and Jack,
I hope you both have a speedy recovery. I'm going through some life changing issues with my 84 year old father right now. Our lives will never be the same again! So take care of yourselves, my friends. Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Thanks guys, I'm glad it isn't me alone. Although this is still a pain in the rear end. I'm on gunbroker and guns international almost every day. I'm always lucky to post or pull up anything on my computer as I'm basically computer illiterate. I'll try there stupid suggestions, but I doubt it will m...

Roger

Hey guys,
Is anyone else having problems with Gunbroker and Remington model 8 listings. Just curious. My tablet keeps pulling up several thousand listings.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Hey guys, I'm going thru family health issues with my father right now. Sorry this has taken me awhile. If and I stress if!! This is the same rifle I tried to buy,then it was priced at 1100-1200. Quite a difference.
Roger

Roger

Hey guys, this may be the same rifle that I tried to buy off of Guns international a few weeks ago. I called and !left a message at the Cabelas gunroom that had it listed but they didn't get back to me in time. I think it was in Maine or Pennsylvania, but I'm getting old and forgetful. But it may ha...

Roger

I'd like to congratulate Jack1653 on his great luck at Tulsa. It's nice to see that one of my friends was able to score on such a large level!! My son's and I had planned to attend the Tulsa show, but work schedules wouldn't allow it this spring. We reluctantly cancelled our room reservation and wat...

Roger

Sir, I have 2 of the rifles you are seeking. Actually I own 4,but 2 of them are 32rem. 2are 35 REM. I don't know how much you want one ,but everything I own is for sale for the right price. Make me an offer and we will see if it will work out. My email address is in the box below. Thanks for your ti...

Roger

Thanks again Cameron, for bailing me out of this issue. Which was a user issue,as usual for me . thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

This is to whomever it concerns.On my tablet computer,this new format is OK except for one thing. I have always used the active topic icon in the past. But now it simply isn't there anymore. This may just be an anomaly with my tablet. But if it is everyone ,then I would like to register my complaint...

Roger

Hey Jack,
Maybe all those old ads were right. They always claimed that 35 REM. Was big enough for any game in North America.
I guess you never know until you do something ,whether or not it will work.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Hey guys,first off,thanks to Cam for posting the pictures. Second,congrats to Jack on another FN 1900 added to his collection. I sure hope that my son's and I can make it back to Tulsa in a few weeks. Jack,I'm looking forward to hooking up with you and the Creamers.Hoping to see this latest FN at Tu...

Roger

My congrats to the new parents and their newest addition. Being a parent is the greatest gift we get here on earth.
Or maybe it's being a grandparent. Well anyway, my love and best wishes to you all!!
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Sir, exceptional gunroom you have. Your collection looks impressive. You are braver than I am, as I'm not comfortable posting pics of mine online. It's a sad state of affairs, but that's the world we live in. I'm especially interested in your Spencer's. I only have one but it is a legitimate Iowa fa...

Roger

Hey fellow members,
I'll have to concur with Cam . This gun has been revoked and the color and sheen aren't even close to original FN Browning's. But it will bring alot even in this condition. But not from me.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Hey guys, I'll have to second Carl's view of these rifles reliability. Very seldom do I find any that won't function properly, even in cold weather. However that seems to be the case with all JMB designed guns. My collection is pretty much all of his design. Browning auto -5 s were mentioned, and I ...

Roger

Sir, Some of my 30 Cal. M-8s like slower burning powders . I use 3031 alot for many calibers. It's a very versital powder. If you have any, you might try win 760 or imr 4064. I also use Leverevolution powder with good results with the Hornady ftx bullets and actually other ones too. Thanks for your ...

Roger

Sir,
You didn't mention what powder you were using to load your 30 rems. Also what was your overall cartridge length.
My model 8s can be finicky about certain powders and or cartridge length.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Hey Cam,
I agree with Jack. Your video is fun and informative. Thank you for posting it for all of us to enjoy.
Roger

Roger

Happy new year to you,Jack. I'm proud to call you my friend. My only input at this early date is to make sure it doesn't fall on the Kansas city gunshow weekend. After going to that show with two of my son's,I really want to go back again this year. It is an excellent event,and I was able to buy 2 J...

Roger

Thank you to Cameron for posting the Christmas Story pics. They're great!! Also thank you for all you do to keep our forum up and running correctly. I'm hoping to be able to go back to the Tulsa Gunshow in April. Maybe we can meet up again for some good conversation and story telling. Time will tell...

Roger

Hey Wildgoose, I'm guilty as charged. My reloading was started by my first Winchester 1886 in 33wcf. ( By the way a great hammer on deer). Now I reload 33 or 34 calibers. Wade in with both feet and never look back. But I'll warn you, it can become addictive.
Roger

Roger

Hey guys, I just watched "Ride the high Country last night on TCM with my father. We both were really impressed by how much different the shooting sound of the Model 8 used by Warren Oates was. One scene showed him firing several rounds in a row from a frontal view. Very cool movie scene. Thanks for...

Roger

Sir, I love it when these model 8s and 81s just show up into our lives. Here in Iowa,we actually see very few of them in the local market place. Congrats on a good find, I don't know what you paid for it, but you have 225.00--250.00$ worth of special order sights on that rifle. Anyway, 8s and 81s ar...

Roger

Sir, welcome aboard. You made a great choice with the M-81.Any family heirloom gun is a true treasure. I have 3 of my Grandfather's guns. Only one is a JMB designed gun but they are all treasured heirlooms to me.
