Indeed, great fun to know - thanks for sharing it with us.

So, Y614 will not go away ... $80 would be about right, just to see what it really is

Way-cool. You guys are way out there - I'm eating it up, keep it coming.

Anyone else got stories about yours, how you got it, or how you have used yours? Even Noel's quest a couple years back to replace the family arms was a fun read.

Nope, no issues with any of your stuff, we did well all the way around. As to the Lebel, it's in the same condition as it came. It‘s going to take some serious time to figure out what I have there :? - way down on the list. Good point regarding buying issues though. Think this would be about my Poin...

Sounds like you do have a NICE dilemma: a fine used rifle. I have a couple rifles that would easily fit into your description - they are fine shooters. Sounds like a keeper to me... dying to see pictures

Indeed, the wait ... what hast thou wrought with thy hardearned ... like Christmas all over each time! I've learned to enjoy it very much. (My wife says way too much - something about needing a life!)

Enjoy

To Wildgoose and others who have asked and added their observation and questions, this is my short buying history. My wife wishes that I also had some selling history to add to this!! :o I'm not a collector, more of an accumulator of irons that make big noise while throwing lead. 8-) At the beginnin...

And indeed you should be "you done good". Also, if you should decide to remount a scope, the hole pattern looks to be a relatively common one - a bit easier to find then most. Plus, very often the barrel nut is damaged and I would have expected this one to to be looking, noticing the beati...

I second the idea for a "picture forum/thread for non-factory mods". Would be interesting as well as helpful - perhaps keep some of us from falling for something we didn't want.

Welcome to 8/81 addiction!

Nope, not normal as to your safety manipulating to get it to fire and all my safeties operate easily. Unfortunately I can't tell you what your problem is either - never had that one. Enjoy the adventure inside and keep us posted as to what you fine.

Welcome to the forum. 96% Model 8 - sounds like a nice one. What caliber? And can we see pictures ... please. 8-) As you may know, after 1921 the barrel markings indicated DOM (date of manufacture) "EZ" being Oct. 1931 and the serial number was closer to the actual shipped date which has b...

"Buy with confidence" seals the deal for me!

Does look nice - from a distance.

And for something totally different but .25Rem - take this one!! GB #200110250 And a good price, I want it so bad I can taste it but ...! :oops: But ..., I just did the husbandly thing and used all my "rat holed" gun money and bought the wife what SHE really wanted for Christmas. :( (I'm t...

Very cool display. Congrats.

Would enjoy seeing the old wanted poster if it wouldn't cause an issue posting it.

Cam, sharp eyes! Thanks for the tip on the book "A New Chapter in an Old Story", I'll now start a search for it.

Good one on the JB Weld - always wondered where the JB came from!

Ah, finally gotcha on one Jack 8-) Is there another way to buy shooting irons then from the "rat hole"? :o "that project rifle" is about to become "our project rifle" and then there will be the "w/ that kind of money we could have ..." :shock: Not that being m...

Thanks for the picture, very cool. I've got a piece of buffalo in the freezer that I'm planning to BBQ for T'day - tried another last year but it was tough (must be doing something wrong). Looks like you'll be doing a lot of BBQ'ing!!

Interesting choice 30Rem, I'm not a reloaded (yet?) why would you choose that one? (I'm allergic to recoil thus I like the 25 but I've noticed that the 30 is not bad at all.) Also interesting, that when I first start getting "some" of these rifles that was the one I found the hardest to fi...

It's my understanding that our illustrious leader is going to be (already is) somewhat pre-occupied for a few days/weeks/years. :shock: And that Saturday he will become domesticated! And then he will understand the term "sleeping on the couch" if he should spend too much time on the forum ...

Obviously... you build a bigger gun room!

I'm working on feeling sorry for you and your problem Jack but somehow I'm just not getting there.

I'm excited just reading 'bout your hunt. At least you weren't "chasing them" on horseback - modern age does have it's advantages ;) When it comes time to post your pic, if Cam is otherwise occupied :D (for the next week or two) feel free to send them to me - one way or another we'll get '...

Patience is going to be necessary. I try to keep an eye out for mounts as I have several rifles w/ extra holes but I have never seen the one you are looking for. That doesn't mean it's not out there just that it is likely to take awhile to find it. As a long shot you might try calling Weaver: Onalas...

I agree with 81Police from a different perspective. I'm allergic to recoil. Some deny it, others like my son and 81Police could careless, but I want to enjoy the shooting experience. So, I like 25's - that said, I have several 30's that I enjoy shooting. A gun builder and gunsmith once told me that ...

Another "Lumpen know-nothing" tea-bagger did all he could to votes the bums out!

Good news. Not being a reloader or gunsmith I've been interested to know what the issue was and how to solve it. Thanks for the update.

Reckon a guy would need a video camera it you are going to have all of that kind of excitment!

44 indeed!

RJ, if you have pics of you work on the stock I'd sure like to see it, I too have a stock that needs remodeled.

Si. Very interesting, I like the thinking of the previous owner. Several have found interesting and valuable things - I found old stale air. Perhaps we should start a tread/topic regarding the leavings.

BTW - Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard Cornhusker. Warning, the ugly duckling is still alive well - as addicting as ever.

This is a learning experience for sure but hopefully not an expensive one. My opinion: 1st, Out of principal, at the very least, if I was you I would return the rifle... "every time I looked at it I don't want to think I got ripped off". 2nd, I believe you can get a "matched" num...

Way-cool! What a blast.

We will enjoy it with you through the pics.

OUTstanding!! Great job. I've got one that ...

Can't wait to here how it shoots.

Sounds to me like you did good both on price and condition as a shooter - normal types of issues. Look forward to the pictures, don't forget to get us pictures of the hole configuration for the scope, hopefully we can help you find what you scope mount you need. Indeed the 300Sav is a shoulder full!...

Unfortunately, being from two different guns did not help it's value - that's for sure. The good news is as a shooter it should function just fine and as a keeper you probably did just OK on the price - unlikely it will ever bring more then that. (Personally I would only pay that much for a matched-...

For sure and a very nice one too. Congrats.

Indeed. Good catch Cam.

Serves me right for not checking

- normally I take mine down and confirm. On this one I-was-for-sure, now I'm-for-surely-wrong, it does need to be drilled and tapped for a second screw!

Not mine, just came across it:
EBay #150509752721 NIB Not a tang but receiver sight, no drilling necessary, has the mounting screw - they don't come any nicer then this; plus the guy is sortof local to you, Turner, ME. I actually prefer this style over the tang.

Welcome, we do try to enjoy ourselves, the old hump backs, and helping folks get into our little world. As to the .32 Rem cartridge (rimless for your M8) - Yes and No. Don't you hate that? The cartridge is obsolete and discontinued but there is plenty of information online and here on the forum rega...

Indeed.

Congratulations Jack! How did we miss out seeing pics of this one?? Or, is this the one that you are having Pete make into a carbine?

Sounds like soooo last year, two years ago, four... price!

Good for you. Waiting for the pics.

I like and the there is a real Pete too! Way cool, now where is that extra 25 I had

Way

man!! I want one too, oh why did I get rid of the other 25

sigh!

I'm the "poor-relation" seconding the idea of a video - for BOTH of you.

And where are the vids of the CarbinePete's that are already out there

Posting for Jack and thanks for sharing these.

upJ, Some practical suggestions for making things work better.8-) Good news, last month we thought we were going to bury my machinist friend who designed and made the tool but he celebrated his 76th birthday Friday and is rallying a bit.:D As another idea that worked, 45guy :ugeek: made a similar &q...

Jack,
Thanks, I'll watch for the pictures and get them posted for you.

Couple of things: Will someone post a picture or two of the very un-correct fix of the silver-solder/brazed jacket adapter, perhaps I'm just lucky but I've not seen anything like it and would like to "see" what I don't want to see on any of mine. Second, how about a picture of the "pi...

45guy,I & some others were chatting on here about old tractors a few months ago http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=681 My grandfather, a professional farm for over 50 years, said regarding the little gray ones, (he had only one once, for pulling the hay and...
