Thank you Denny, a very nice trade.

Just a note for other members, Denny is nice to work with, delivers what and when he says.

Phyrbird

One of the issues that can cause this is if someone has stoned the trigger or hammer hooks to lighten the trigger pull. The safety lever may have twisted on the shaft, I've seen this on a rifle or 2. You might check the screw that holds the trigger spring and the Main spring is tight, it's the secon...

Denny,

Did you get my last PM? If not email me, please.

Jerry, I've one that looks just like yours on a Model8, depends on the actual dimensions. If you are fitting a reproduction stock it will be easier to use the plastic ones. Getting the angle on the toe of these metal ones can be hard to get a clean precise fit. If you ever have to fit one of the "S"...

Just a thought, any comments on ceramicote v.s. NIB-X coatings? I have a local vendor that does the ceramicote.
And a Savage 755 begging for a nice refinsh.

Sarge,
That is way cool

to take an old beater and re-furb it to make it current.
Frankly I like the Lyman choke, got one I should mount....

HHHMMM

Phyrbird

Very nice

Bet the rifle was lighter before

just like the early Pontiac Nascar frames, swiss cheese style.
The buff job is great, very little damage to the lettering, good job

Phyrbird

Oh Grand and Mighty Jack of the Models 8 & 81, (Yeah I'm laying it on thick) I have some trading material we might discuss. You may have seen my first M81 in 35Rem with the nice checkering. I'd like to find a nice Model 8 in 35 Rem with the semi pistol grip and perhaps checkered stocks. It should ha...

Phyrbird

you are right about that, I found a 1910 Winchester in 401, a German Mauser 11mm single shot bolt action, and a 16ga rolling block shotgun. All but the Winchester were reasonable. Pity there was no cash for that time...

Browning gun oil Quick

It's getting hard to find because of EPA, but it stays with your blue finish a lot longer.

Don't feel bad we have some neighbors up the street. The little girls would just walk in :oops: if you didn't answer the door quick enough. They were looking for bugs and snails, rearranged our retaining block walls for us. :shock: Instead of calling cops or their Mama, they have project of helping ...

Pretty Ladies

Looks like the 25REM was not hurt in the safe, pity about the stocks.
Sarge is right about the supplier, Congrats and Welcome.

Phyrbird

IMFun... You might check with the S&S Huntclub guys they are the only ones I 've seen with the base for sale. I'm pretty sure they are brazed on the barrel sleeve after the sleeve is threaded in the back.

Phyrbird

I think the model 8 has pieces riveted inside the receiver. Just as the 870 ejector is riveted. they can be replaced but it requires a blue job after riveting.

Phyrbird

Gents While I don't have the 300SAV conversion assembled yet, I have fired the 35REM multiple times. It doesn't compare to a BAR 300WMg or a 7mm Mg XBolt Medallion. You should know I use a Limbsaver pad on them all. Even my daughter likes to shoot them :D Our ladies can't compare to a straight stock...

Phyrbird

For those really interested I can link you to a demo sale for AQPS machines.
Send a PM and I'll forward you...

Phyrbird

A nice clean rifle, a very pretty butt stock,

and $200 worth of sights. 35REM to boot.
I think you got a great deal, Congrats

For those that can come Kentucky has the Worlds largest Quilt show every spring in Paducah. ;) We've been 2-3 times, and like to spend a night at the lake(s). 8-) The art quilts are incredible. The classic quilts can blow your mind. :roll: We even had an Arabian tapestry exhibit 2 years ago. :shock:...

Splitting case necks, 38-55 head stamp, HHHHMMMMM :?: I've winchester, CIL, Remington factory rounds in 32REM. They all say 32 REM on the base. You might have Real 38-55 rounds, my info says they are not the same as 32REM. I've seen only one cartridge for our rifles other than these: 25REM, 30REM, 3...

Welcome, that sling is a really neat feature. And from the look a very clean rifle.
Congrats

Phyrbird

Just a note, they still haven't made it to the range.
A side note: I'm loading 7.62 Tok with them and 45C with 158g 357s using sabots too. We will have a range report when they go...

Here in S Ky the horseback hunting is AAHHH limited. The only place you might try it is Land Between the Lakes. They might have regs against it there too.

Yeah, don't they though

Or pack one to a gun show

A very clean looking rifle, Nice. I like the setup as a whole. I do prefer a bottom pour melter though, it's a lot faster. You do gotta watch, if the lead pours just right it will squirt back out of the mould. That's why I wear welding glove on the mould hand. One squirt of lead across the palm :o i...

Dale,

Apologies if we Jacked your post; have you a favorite muscle car from bygone years?

Or possibly a favorite firearm we could share the enjoyment? There are a lot of rachet Jaws

here, but we have fun and help our Brothers & Sistas.

Phyrbird

Oh Yeah

Way cool Sarge, makes me long for the nights in Iroquois park after midnight.
Downshift, slide thru the curve, upshift go for the next turn; WWWAAAHHHH

Burn half a tank in one round of the park.

I like 'em too. Brother has one in 308.

SAMMI data calls for 2.050 OAL for both it and the 30Rem. I wouldn't let it go more than .005 more than this standard.

Oh great 10 Ring, Got 2 32s; one with a button on the bottom of the trigger guard,

the other is Tattooed.

Really don't wanna sell/trade right now..

There are an 8 and 81 in 30 Rem I might trade. They're in above average shape, and put most of the ones on GB in the shade.

Phyrbird

no dreams about Model 8s

You should use a chest freezer for the guys, they won't fall out on you

Phyrbird

I like those fibre optic sights

I have a set on a Puma 454 Casull lever action rifle. They help older eyes greatly.
A bowling pin doesn't stand a chance

The bad part is after 3-4 rounds all you got is splinters, no target left.

What's the lining?
Do you plan a lid hinge and/or buckle?

Having experience with a few hi-power rifles I must comment. Many times the performance of a cartridge has more to do with a individual rifle than the shooter or the round. I've a Springfield 03 reworked to 270 that will group under a quarter at 200yds if I do my part. :D I traded off a 742 in 3006 ...
