Just a thank you for Marty's working with me for the sight. Perhaps a couple Pix are in order?

Thought I saw

Musta let all the pristine engraving & inlay lead me astray, sorry.
Does anyone know if there is actually a GrF 81?

Phyrbird

Yeah I member the 81 GrF. And the range time. And the marvelous hospitality.

Anybody need Herters loading parts? Got a couple specialized shellholders and a primer arm kit. Near NIB. ;) Would consider a partial trade for a Lyman Trueline Jr shellholder adapter for standard shellholders. 8-) Bump: still got the 32 Rem RCBS dies(sold), who wants 'em? still got Lyman 243&27...

Mart,
Send me an email, please.

My message folders stay pretty full, so I use email mostly...
List what you might wanna get in trade, I have a few supplies & parts....

Phyrbird

I too am interested, price??
I have a winchester choke tube out of sheet metal that does good; it just won't hold up on a stubborn barrel nut. & a heavy duty barrel bushing tool would help too.

Phyrbird

A good reference for materials you requested:

I am very impressed from experience with the Pet Loads articles.

Phyrbird

Canuck, you might also consider a semi-pistol grip Model 8 stock, it may be an easier fitup. I personally really like the looks of the A5 stock in place, Plus one could get a FN shotgun buttplate for a close fit. I am glad to see this one did not go to the part scrappers. I am in process of a restor...

Merry Christmas to all, and a Merrier New Year.
Again life is short, be with family and friends, enjoy what you do and do what you love.

If your going to drill & tap consider a Williams 5D, they have considerable windage. The sight mounts on the left side of the receiver and wings over the top.

Phyrbird

If you check the SAAMI dimensions we find the 300S rim is about .006 larger than the 35R. I've 2 bolts for the 300S an the size is consistently larger. We may be able to match a 35R to a 300S bolt; don't know but I plan to try it. The reverse I'm relatively sure would not allow the action to close. ...

Phyrbird

Anyone got some extra Stith barrel hardware? I've a project in mind that would require the front (barrel) Stith mount for a 1" scope. Got stuff to trade if the need is there. Carl http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3837&sid=70b66e0f4a1052a0c7cd02a34095...

Phyrbird

I agree with Cam. Plus from personal experience the holes drilled in the rec'v'r for the tang screw are at different angles for the curved or straight grips. He is also correct the screws are different lengths. Meaning we have to deal with 3 different holes accepting different length fasteners. Wish...

Got a rifle from Dennis (rem81auto) lately; it turned out Great

The condition was better than the photos indicated.

He was very patient with my

cash flow and prompt

when we finalized the deal.
Thank you Sir

The A refers to the base or standard rifle.

30 WCF is the Winchester 30-30 round. The Model 64 is Winchester lever (bent) action. I could be in error but this looks like a re-barrel assembly from repair/restore. It could be just fine as long as the headspace is ok. As for the pitting I would be more concerned with deep gouges around or the le...

Phyrbird

Glad to see they finally broke loose with the video. Afew really good slomo clips too.

Phyrbird

Caution with sizing is a Good plan

I like the Redding idea, got a spacer made by RCBS decades ago, too.

Phyrbird

One could do the same trick with an allen bolt, they are grade 8 and strong enough for pin stock. I like it.

Phyrbird

Cool

Phyrbird

WR, A. Suggest a Limbsaver slip on pad, they really help. Even with a 7mmMag. :!: B. Suggest a 140g Monoflex (Hornady) with a slower burning powder to a midrange load; it'll have slightly less recoil, at a longer duration and may change the dynamic. :ugeek: http://ataleoftwothirties.com/?p=1026 C.

Unfortunately I have to prefer the tang sights or an optical. I'm having a tough time seeing the front sights with a barrel mounted sight. One help is a globe sight, wish I had more than the one Dockendorf. I can't seem to find a Lyman low enough for good set up.... A measure of the shooting was the...

some of these list for pointed bullets that are not useful in the pump guns...

Phyrbird

Thats another reason we still find stuff in the buttstocks

Phyrbird

Yeah, we have wasted a lot of time & research, I don't think anyone is making the taps or dies now. And know that many of the threads were designed before anyone dreamed of SAE standards.

Phyrbird

I've also used "medical freeze" spray to shrink threaded parts. It can break loose rust frozen stuff. Heat the outside, freeze the inside. It can help.

Phyrbird

This is a very effective screw impact driver, just be very careful it doesn't jump out of the slot. It also is a good chisel on blued surfaces. :oops: I've an old one by Craftsman and a Irwin adapter for screw bits. It's so stout I've broken several bits already. Before using the impact route I usua...

Phyrbird

Yeah, I use a Limbsaver, the 300sav is a bit sharper than the rest of our Ladies calibers. No where near the 45-70 in a Marlin though.

Phyrbird

Cam,
You rascal, sent all that rain up here to Kentucky. How you Do that?
Nuff comedy! I've donated clothing at YMCA, Cam could you sponsor a post with onsite needs of the community there? Perhaps our forum could provide supplies or other support. You might serve as a input for us.

Phyrbird

Same here

The news looks disastrous, Cam aren't you a Texan? Hope you are well.

Phyrbird

Not yet, gotta trade, sell Xtra parts, or win lotto.

Wish me luck.

By the way there are 3 different models of the 2stack R1.

I may be talked into some trading or a sale. Thanks

Congrats Lightning,
You have some very clean rifles. The one with scope mount holes may fit a Weaver. I'm not real sure....

A good looking Mod, I can think of a couple ways it could have problems.
One mod I have interest in is a simple way to turn off the semi auto of our ladies. Some thing similar to the gas valve on the M14. It could improve distance accuracy.

Good for you, Adam. A note: which was the base for the 300S/35R swap? A 300 or the 35? They differ. :!: Have you fired any from both the barrel assemblies? Did it function OK?
