.30 Remington at Buffalo Arms
Looks like Buffalo Arms currently has .30 Remington in stock. Sadly, it's doubled in price since they last had it and they are using reformed brass (doesn't say what it's been reformed from). They are now using 150gr Hornady Interlock bullets instead of 170gr Core-Lokt bullets. Current pricing befor...

Re: School Me On My Model 8
While I had the rifle disassembled to figure out an issue with the barrel sticking, I found a number on the barrel.
Y 3 7 is stamped on the barrel toward the breach. Any info on that?

Re: Barrel Not Returning To Battery
Notes: - Sorry for the fuzzy picture. - The spots that looks like rust, are not. It's just grime from my fingers touching oily bits. As old as this baby is, there is absolutely no rust anywhere in or on this rifle. - I put a bunch of oil (Rand CLP for those that are interested) between the barrel a...

Barrel Not Returning To Battery
So I got to take my Model 8 to the range for the very first time last weekend. Loaded a round, lined her up, squeezed the trigger, and BANG! Success! Wait, the barrel- Drat! The barrel is stuck in the rear position. I broke down the rifle and sure enough, the barrel was stuck in the rearward positio...

Re: Talked to Buffalo Arms...
I was under the impression they manufacture the brass themselves.

Talked to Buffalo Arms...
...about acquiring some .30 Rem brass. The fella mentioned they currently have about 23,000 cases on back order. There is no timetable on when the orders will be filled. The fella I talked with mentioned they currently do not have the equipment to manufacture the brass and have no clue when they are...

Re: Can We Discuss Specific Handloads For Model 8/81s?
How about .30 Remington?
I'm travelling for work and found a local gun shop with a hearty supply of Alliant, IMR and Hodgdon powder. This is not a common sight back home and I want to pick up a few pounds before I head home at the end of this week.

Re: School Me On My Model 8
::EDIT:: I just saw the post about loads for the Model 8. I will post this question in there. I hate to ask as I plan on buying Pet Loads and The Great Remington 8 next payday, but I'm currently traveling for work and I've found a local gun shop that has a good supply of Alliant, Hodgdon, and IMR po...

School Me On My Model 8
So I would like to know as much about this piece as possible, everything except the value (don't plan on selling). I would also like to know about any good literature on the Model 8. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p170/cluckoshaggy/Mobile%20Uploads/image_1.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/...

Re: My New-To-Me Model 8
Thank you all Tine to head on over to the Q&A forum and see what I can find. I like knowing the history of my guns... What various marks mean, year of manufacture, how many were produced in this particular configuration, etc.

.30 Rem Ammo and/or Brass
Just got my Model 8 in .30 Rem and fortunately it came with 31 rounds. I'm looking to pad that out to 100-200 rounds/brass. I never intended this to be a high-volume shooter, but I do like having something more substantial than a box and a half on hand. Unfortunately, it seems like everywhere I look...

Howdy
Howdy, Soon-to-be Remington owner from Texas. I have a Remingnton Autoloading Rifle chambered in .30-30 Remington coming into my possession. Soon as I get it in my grubby little hands, I will be posting pics. How much do I know about this rifle? - My particular example was made before they called it...
