Jack,I will check out my guns and see if any fit your needs. It may take a little while though, because my rifle deer season starts tomorrow. It will be the only season that i will hunt this year. It only lasts thru Jan. 20 the.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Looks like a nice honest rem m-14. I've reloaded for 32 rem. For years. Email me if you need any help.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Congrats on your purchase. It looks pretty good from the pics you posted. I've had a few red field peeps ,including my grandpa's Marlin 39. They work fine , but are a little touchy to get adjusted. But once they're done they tend to stay where you want them to. I'm still using one for a rem m-8/81 o...

Roger

Great m-8 hope it's a good shooter. I'm seeing more rem.8/81 s in your future real soon.
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

Don't forget,they usually require roommates! Good luck with your shooting. Have some real fun with it.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Welcome aboard. You're in the right place for m-8/81 rem. Nuts. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. There. are many helpful members here who are glad to help. Beware though, that your m-8 will not give you a minutes rest until you buy him a roommate!
Thanks
Roger

Roger

Here's wishing all members here a healthy,happy, and successful new year.I'm sure glad that i found this website/forum last year. Thanks to everyone who has helped this old school collector with my Rem.8/81 s
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall that in his book, John Henwood also talked about some rifles being made up from parts on hand as orders were received after 1950. This being caused by delays in the introduction of the new semi auto rifle( m740???) I'm not sure if he knew for sure how long the...

Roger

Thanks Mitch, I too was curious about the 14.
Roger

Roger

Thanks Cam,I would really appreciate that. I simply love that movie. At our show last night,I wore my Ralph "you,ll'shoot your eye out kid " shirt. And I put my electric "Frageelaa" leg lamp on top of my amp to show my team spirit. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Roger

Roger

Hey ,Cam,that's the coolest photoshop ever.I don't know how you did it,but I'm sure glad you did. I'm officially asking your permission to lift a copy of it for my own gunroom collection of vintage gun ads,etc.
Merry Christmas,to every member, from the Iowa Gunnut.

Hey Joe, I was just wondering if you were able to welcome any deer the other morning? Our hi-power season starts in about 3 weeks here in iowa. With the huge snowstorm this week,it's hard to know what to expect. One thing's for sure,walking thru this snow and big drifts will be a big chore.But it se...

Roger

Olskool, my reload area isn't nearly so nice. Congrats on such a well organized shop. My basement area is kind of spread out but functional. Maybe when the little woman and I retire, i'll have more time to re-organize.
Thanks for your time
Rog

Roger

Sarge,that's one beautiful stock set.
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

Welcome aboard, you're in the right place if you are into M-8/81 s. Beware though ,that they usually require company for each other. I don't know how many I have now. I'm afraid to count them. If you need any help whatsoever,just ask. There are many knowledgable and helpful members here to assist yo...

Roger

Well we got nailed by our first blizzard in many years, last night. I still can't post pics but we got 12 -15" here in central iowa.Hey I wish i was with you members down south now! What a mess digging out from this storm.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Jerry, all my knowledge is in the A-5 Browning field. I've always known about the Savage clones but don't know very much specific Savage info.But the real telltale deal is that extended lug under the rib at the muzzle end.if this barrel were cut, and belonged to an A-5 browning there would be no str...

Roger

From the latest posted pics I don't believe your barrel was cut at all. Or else it was done at. Savage or Polychoke Co. On the muzzle end picture you have posted it has a polychoke brand sight bead installed on it, plus it has the strengthing lug under the vent rib at the muzzle end. My major experi...

Roger

A member with the name Curtis sent me a message three wks. ago that i just found now. I do have some M-81 s for sale. If you're still interested email me at raw4555@ gmail.com
Roger

Roger

Pitchy,you never cease to amaze me.good shooting.
Thanks Roger

Roger

Early on in my gun collecting career,I was taught by some old school collectors,to use the 50% rule when contemplating refinishing any firearm. If the original finish is less than 50% ,then any refinish/refurbish work probably won't hurt the value. This also depends on the gun we're talking about. F...

Roger

Welcome aboard! I feel I must warn you about the Rem.8/81. They can be addictive to anyone who's involved with them. Be aware of the dreaded Jackitis.But seriously,you can count on helpful advice from just about everyone here on this forum. There are many years of experience available to you any tim...

Roger

Welcome aboard,from another Rem. 8/81 nutcase. Sarge is spot-on with the Arrow products.I've used them with good results for low impact repair work. Also just good old fashioned linseed oil will sometimes work for limited repair work. Good luck with your 81 and by all means have fun with it. Thanks ...

Roger

You have emailed me about original wood recently. I have some parts guns for sale that you might be interested in that are complete and shooting examples. They might lend themselves to refinshing. They are priced right. Email me if you are still looking for wood and parts.
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

Cool rifle,Cam.I just love it when a plan comes together.I'm sure looking forward to an action video.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

That is a cool picture of your Dad. You look just like him ,Cameron. I'm sure you're real proud of him and glad for all he's taught you over the years.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

I'm no magazine expert,but in John Henwoods book most pictures which are vintage Remington literature,there are 4 rounds in the magazine . I do know that i have 35/300 savage rifles that will only accept 4 rds.I don't know if this has any thing to do with your issue, but in one quote in his book he ...

Roger

Thanks Curt, my sons are all adults now,but all still hunt, shoot, and fish.They were in the bassboat fishing before they were 2 yrs. Old,and raised shooting as soon as they were responcible and old enuf to go do it with me. They all learned on JMB designed guns and have respect for his designs and ...

Roger

I have no family history with rem.m-8/81 s. But I do hope that i've started one with my old Remington@Winchester rifles and my 3 sons.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Congrats on your successful hunt,Cam.I'm sorry about your buck,and I understand exactly because a similar thing happened to me a few yrs. ago. We lost my buck,an 11 pointer, then found him the next morning and the coyotes had killed him @ripped his throat out ,plus chewed his nose off ,ruining the m...

Roger

It seems that quite a few of my older m-8 s like slower burning powders. I've noticed a real corrulation between good acuracy and slower burning powderslike win.760. It works equally well in my 2- 25/35 m-1894 Winchester,with almost identical formulas as my 25 Rem. Formula. I would really suggest tr...

Roger

I've had good success w/ 26.5 gr. of Win.760 and Hornady 117 gr. RN. They shoot well w/ both of my 25 Cal. M-8
Thanks,
Roger

Roger

I still have some unique pieces. for sale. Contact me if you're curious.
Thanks
Roger

Roger

Looks like a time bomb waiting to go off.
Roger

Roger

Awesome,I love it when these rifles get used for their real @ original purpose.good job.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

Dignan, thanks for looking around to find the right tap.Brownells is an Iowa company,and I live about n hour from them so i could get one easily when needed. Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

After doing some research,I would have to say that the saami working pressures for this round are somewhat higher than say,300 savage. So the safest option would be to have a new barrel/barrel extension/chamber made up.Most people agree that this round is a big improvement over.223@7.62 x39, both po...

Roger

No one can own( or do they own us) just one!
Thanks
Roger

Roger

I took the time to look up your answer in Henwood's book.
3/16" x36 ,but that's the plug screw size. Proceed with caution
Roger

Roger

Sorry,it was described as a wildcat round in the article I read. I don't care what it's called, I think it deserves some thought as a project for Rem.8/81 fans.
Roger

Roger

John Henwood addresses the thread size in his book ,but I don't have time to look it up now
Roger

Roger

Hey Dewalt,thanks for your input on this cartridge. It was all new news to me,but my youngest son, told me that it's one of the top wildcat rounds for the AR type rifles today. But it sounds like it might be too costly to convert a m-8/81 to fire this excellent round. I've got a few extra barrels an...

Roger

I just read an article in GunDigest magazine about the 6.8mmSPC ,a cartridge developed in 2003 by two special forces/marksmanship guys ,to obtain better combat effectiveness,with the military M4 carbine. They used the 1906 vintage 30 remington cartridge as the parent brass(not the 30 rem. AR). Some ...

Roger

Thanks Jerry, you're the first one today to make me feel better. I simply am glad it's over. However, there's nothing in the law that can make me listen to anything that he says.I haven't listened to him for the last 6 yrs.and now I won't listen to him for the next 4 yrs.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Roger

I may be thinning my herd slightly. If you're interested in JMB designed guns ,this may be your chance to aquire some new pieces. Not just rem-8/81 s. Please email me if you are curious. I'll let you know what i'm considering to do.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Roger

Hey olskool, thanks for your input on that subject.I'm self employed, so'i don't always have much extra time. However ,I seem to make time to post stuff on here ,don't I? It's always easy to complain,but not so easy to do something about it. Maybe it's time for me and my friends to put up or shut up...

Roger

Oskooll, it sounds like a great dnr you have there. Our Iowa DNR isn't very progressive.We're about the only state here in the central part of the country who doesn't allow gun hunting during the rut. Shotgun#1 starts on the first weekend of Dec. Then shotgun#2 starts on the second weekend of Dec. F...

Roger

Olskool, I use that exact 32 rem. Loading in my 3 m-8 s -32 Cal. For deer hunting. Congrats on your kill. I always try to shoot a young dumb one first for my meat deer, here in Iowa. Although we have the ability to get multiple tags, some states may not have that choice. We can only get one shotgun ...

Roger

While looking at gunbroker this am, I saw this listing#314507845. This rifle also has no remington roll. Stamping above the model8-- serial # markings.It also has the whelen fluted combed stock ,along with the top tang rifle buttplate.Both of these features have been discussed here on this forum and...
