Re: Scabbard for Model 8/81?

Regarding the earlier scabbard picture, it has to be of one made for the M1 Garand rifle. I have one of those scabbards somewhere in my accumulation, and if I find it, I'll see if an M8 or M81 fits OK. I never actually knew what those scabbards were intended for. My guess was to stow an M1 on a Jee...

Re: .30 REMINGTON FMJ AMMO

I've purchased more than a few tang peep sights over the years. I've found that the ones for Winchester levers are definitely more expensive than the ones for remington m-8/81 s.

Re: Pics of whats coming

Re: .30 REMINGTON FMJ AMMO

Re: Scabbard carry ??

That's a cool pic! When I bought my 81 300sav it came with a scabbard its the same one used for the M1. It has metal piece with slot for bolt handle.

Re: 35 STRIPPER CLIP

According to serial# page mine was made in 1925. I haven't had any problem with my thumb being chewed up but I haven't shot it near as much as I shoot my M1. My 30 was made in 1908 but I don't have any strippers for it.

Hello

My first rifle was a Model 8 30rem my dad gave me 35 years ago. I also have a Model 8 35rem I bought a couple years ago. Will the 35rem Leverevolution ammo hurt it?
