Careful Roger, don't wanna start a Remdemic

Next we'll have to start wearing polarized glasses to prevent the "gleam" of that next M8-81 affecting our frontal lobes

Phyrbird

Ditto: may you stay safe so we can stay Forum brothers & sisters.

Phyrbird

I agree with Jack (always), the only one I ever found without the action spring tube was from a "Stripper". My only spare went to the restore project. The wood plug is equally hard to find.

Phyrbird

whupps; no pics to me

Cam Woodall put me onto this:

It's not original, but Very Visible....

Phyrbird

Roger, I too need one please, for a restore of one of my barrel assys with the partridge front sight.Hoping to get a frame from a member too. I have every thing else for now.

Phyrbird

180 gr rang the gong at the Great Model 8 Event some years back.

Phyrbird

Cute

Good embroidery, like the UnY corn too

Phyrbird

It's a small bar with the 2 threaded holes that fits the holes in the bbl sleeve.
Got one , $20 + shipping if you please.

Roger
Know you are cruisin'; watch out the Ladies don't gang up on you. What was that about scorn

Phyrbird

Rick, I have several of the Wisner springs, none required fitting just put in. Of course you gotta take it apart. & cleaning meanwhile helps.... As for the 35 Whelen, I agree it probably would not go in the mag let alone the chamber. IF 35W does chamber this is MAJOR error on the part of somebody. O...

Phyrbird

Yea verily; we are here. Some are older, less active, BUT don't count us out. We will pass on to the nest Gen our legacy.

Phyrbird

Luke
May you outbid all at ridiculous low gavels.
As for other auctions, I gotta sit out. Have Bdays, Xmas, & lots of other stuff hitting my cashflow. Perhaps another will come my way.
Your fiendly neighborhood Phyrbird

I have one.

BUT it's only available with attached parts. Namely the barrel assembly. Any chance you have #30 of the known rifles? I really shouldn't break up original parts.

Mayhap Jack could comment. I note the different stamp on the (definitely) "Remington" rear sight, it's a twin for many I've seen. I note no date stamp on the barrel sleeve block, & there seems to be no roll stamp on the top of the barrel sleeve. I know there are a few FNs without the rib, could be o...

This is what goes with the alphabet soup barrels: :geek: Lyman 41AT Lyman 41at lg.jpg You can use a screw in aperture but the flip up target peep is pretty functional. 8-) I have the correct sight, no mount screws, in better than usual shape. I now have 4, 2 in service (not available) but I don't ne...

Been there, done this. 4hours with a triangular needle file. :? File a little, test fit a little, more file, get it close then tap with a soft face hammer to swage the threads for fit. :twisted: :twisted: More file a little, repeat. Work your way down the threads one at a time till minor tite. ;) Th...

Luck to you.

Phyrbird

S7C, Maybe I can help. Got an Xtra front sight base, likely NOS. Is your barrel jacket round or ground flat from the Goobersmith? A factory base is round to fit the barrel jacket. Front sight base.jpg Also got the Lyman 41AT receiver sight in the Fleabay bin. In better than usual shape. (@95%) Sorry...

Welcome, we like it when more folks join in. Pics are good too

Phyrbird

Curt, A suggestion: the barrel nut washers have 2 tooth patterns to my knowledge. (Members correct if I'm wrong) I have one or two with no serrations, one was in service, now replaced. If possible I'd appreciate your running them through the CNC mill to get them right. Plus It could save time & be m...

Phyrbird

CGU, I did the heat treat several times. Worked once, on an old rimfire single shot, made from a piece of hacksaw blade. Curled ends for the pins it fit. Point is unless you get VERY lucky with the metallurgy of the part & the temps involved you get a fancy paper clip most times. I heated to cherry ...

Phyrbird

Not the 7-8 coils, Nope

Phyrbird

CGU Is the mag ind spring riding on to of the bolt carrier rail, that's usually what causes weird stuff with the empty lock & cycling new rounds? It's supposed to be in the tiny slot just under the rail. The spring should be fairly straight when not in the action. Look to see if both tabs on the spr...

Phyrbird

I'm not certain about the washers, not seen those B4. But the buffer & recoil springs are different on the 25Rem. Your buffer looks right. Some of our guys have found a wood buffer with 2 split washers on each end in a few rifles. Pretty sure they were not factory installed. Part numbers on the old ...

This is a tale of 3 Ladies; a Dowager, The Queen, and the Comtessa. I thought our group might enjoy the fortunate coincidences that brought them together.

GDt Welcome. I'm surprised the projectile didn't get stuck. Lucky guy. Some of these will surprise you too. I've had a few that gave 5-6" groups at 100, a 1907 30-30 marked that I got 2 in less than an inch at 50 with me on the iron sights. At the Great model 8 meet my 35 Rem with the G&H scope moun...

Fred,
Thanks, we should follow up on an alternative like this. Might save a rifle or 2. Metal fatigue is going to get these springs one of these days.

Got no replies.
Any of these Ladies out there?
In a month or so I may bump this again, once.

Yep, Our Ladies need a bath & a shave at least every 10 years.

Be careful though they made a Charmin commercial about too much handling

Phyrbird

This is probably a Jeager, perhaps one of a kind. I have communicated with the current family( still in the business) There have been lots on our fiendly auction site, but none for our Ladies. A side note: are you sure the holes are not below the rib in the side of the frame? There is a different ma...

Phyrbird

OK I find I need to follow in Jack's footsteps. I am doing some digging & research to find some rifle(s). If you might have (know of) Model 81s with the following numbers I am interested in history or info. I might consider a purchase if I get lucky. I have discussed this with some of our leading me...

Requires repeated infusions of gun oil, powder smoke, :lol: and be aware from personal experience there is no cure or remission, only a fear you might miss THE one. :oops: Then a period of restoration fever. With complications of 0.00% gunsmiths that will do quality work. :twisted: :twisted: Finally...

Phyrbird

I'm impressed

Phyrbird

You found a smith that actually worked on it?? Wow

Phyrbird

Welcome

When your Lady arrives, be careful, they all wanna join up with relatives. It's called Jackitis

Phyrbird

I might be able to help, which mag you need? There are 3 or 4. Send me a Pic(s) of what you need:

Note: from experience these are NOT a drop in; require fitting in most cases. Got a good smith, I don't....

That is unusual. I like. You realize it's a pre-Model 8, referred to a Self Loading Rifle? I'd be real curious if the tang stock screw is in a second tapped hole of the frame tang. A semi grip tang on the early rifles is also unusual. The smith that added the 81 trigger group & stock looks like they...
