I'll take you up on the rug

Ya know hitting the lottery isn't a bad idea, we all need a little fun money. (not funny money)

Phyrbird

I recall an article of a Wyoming or Colorado grizzly that was known to have killed multiple hunters, scores of dogs, and several trail horses. It was in American Rifleman or Guns & Ammo magazine. Eventually he was killed by a famous hunter after he lost all his dogs. The gent emptied his Winchester ...

Shades of Boy Scout topography maps and overnites under a pauncho. Yeah, I remember

Phyrbird

Nice

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

Phyrbird

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 ...

Phyrbird

I'm surprised the bolt spring housing isn't showing

It also looks like the butt plate has been "modified"

Ya know at one time that was a nice semi-pistol grip stock

Next time I'm at my FAVORITE reloading store (I only get to go once or twice a year ) if they still have 30 Rem brass do you still want some?

Got some, been there. Anybody want some? (30 Rem)

Sarge, Sorry if I was too brief, I was commenting on his 250 Savage chambering and comparing it to the 300 Savage. They are about the same pressure rating and effective recoil. The 300Sav components should work just fine in our Ladies for any of the Savage calibers with a little tuning. I was also e...

Phyrbird

You should check to see if the barrel springs are for a 300 Savage. This rifle has demonstrated it is very capable of handling the Savage caliber. ;) However the 25 Rem springs are not, It could cause damage to the rear of the receiver from excessive slam. :shock: Another possible problem could be i...

Adam,
I like the figure in that stock, pretty

$5 a round is not the worst of it. Guess the price of a rifle, then scope and mounts that will handle the pounding.

Cam, David, Lately I noticed Firefox is blocking "redirecting to another page" a lot on the new posts. :oops: That is usually a sign of virus or phishing activity.

If you're getting started Lee equipment is often the most cost effective. I have a lot of their dies, priming tools, & have owned a lot of their presses. I suggest a turret press to start, it allows you to set the dies then LEAVE them ALONE. I like the Forster case trimmer and outside neck turner, I...

Phyrbird

I got the butt stock for it.

Phyrbird

Well it looks like you need some parts and a little bit of lumber. All is well that ends well.
You are dedicated.

Phyrbird

If I were you I'd aim for 35 Rem or 300 Sav. You can find 35 Rem fairly easy, same for 300Sav. Both are still in production, plus 300 Savage can be made by sizing a 308 in the 300 Savage sizer die.
I've bought both new in the last year if it helps.

Phyrbird

I thought that was it, Thanks for the extra photo.
My GrD Lady is a 32 Rem as well, wish I could trade some other pieces for a Grade ? in 35 Rem.

If you like here's the link

Phyrbird

Nice Inglis too. From the photos the blue looks in great shape, if so I think you got a very fair deal. Most of the cleaner M81s are going for a couple hundred more. I personally prefer the fuller early forearms as well.
By the way, welcome..

Phyrbird

A note from the earlier post. I got hoooked on the 35 Rem with the Contender 14" bbl. One of the early ones with a hand lapped factory barrel, A TACK DRIVER in your hand. Just don't put your elbow on the concrete bench top when firing. After the 3rd shot you wonder why your elbow hurts, :( sometime ...

Phyrbird

NICE The S curve butt plate is very rare and a factory only item. Beautiful stocks.
And you got "C" grade wood at least. Check the serial # on the tang under the stock, if it's got a extra number or a "C" you may have a higher grade rifle.
Plus you have more historical info than most of us.

Phyrbird

A pretty stable indeed, I really like the figure on the top 81.

Also looks like a great example of a SLR, it even has the early safety lever. You might consider a folding sight for the barrel jacket, it helps the field of view

when your using the tang sight.

Phyrbird

The ND3 is likely a factory repair code. Compare the ser# to the production years you may have a rifle earlier than '35.

Another beautiful Tatooed Lady, mature but elegant. Could we see a photo of the grip cap?

I'd like some photos too.. My 8D is circa '09 I think...
And I've got your operating handle. (No engraving though)
Send me a PM perhaps we can trade or sell.

Any takers? We're bout out of time. I found some stuff I'd like to upgrade the stable.

Phyrbird

CViking, If your going to clean up a blued surface I never use anything but 0000 steel wool and gun oil. Preferably Browning gun oil. It's the same kind of materials folks that rust blue use for carding in the blue process. This won't damage the existing finish (unless you are Real aggressive) and c...

Dudes, From a Handloader mag years ago, the nickel has a different metallurgy. Brass will resize a lot easier, the nickel is plated on the outside. It fractures and flakes off, then promptly sticks to even a carbide die. :ugeek: Thus the lengthwise scratches. It usually takes 3-5 resizings B4 they s...

This is an interesting dialog. I have some comments: The Model 8 (& by default M81) were designed at the turn of the last century. the concept of high pressure rounds like the 308 was a pipe dream at the time. :oops: The components; bolt, barrel, bolt recess in the barrel, springs, and receiver were...
