Ooh la la!

Bandersnatch

What does one use instead of photobucket?

Bandersnatch

Very pretty.

Bandersnatch

I have a 14 in 25 Rem. Something I learned early on is use only round nosed bullets. Anything else will hang up inside the feed system and you have to disassemble the gun to clear it.

Bandersnatch

M14 stripper clips work pretty good, too. About .50 apiece.

Here's some:

I've used almost exclusively the 200 grain bullets, but a couple of years ago I came across some Remington 150gr spitzers at a pawn shop in SW Alabama. 4 boxes and I've never seen any more of it. I shot a few in the old 81 and they seemed to group ok but the recoil was awful. The Hornady 200 grain F...

Thanks, that'll be another one to watch. Unfortunately they are all sold out.

Well, flapdoodle. Check some pawn shops. I've occasionally found odd calibers like .35 there.

Any more news on this mount? I'm beginning to get ideas....

Awww.

I will have my 81 in hand for the Minnesota deer opener in a couple of weeks. I also hope to have a photo or story to share. Good luck to you, Bandersnatch.

Get a big 'un!

Bandersnatch

I've used Hornady 117 gr spitzers with good success in mine, over a hot charge of 3031. Very pleasant shooting with good accuracy. I bought a short rail section that fits the two rear sight screws from a member here. It holds a micro red dot sight that makes the rifle that much more fun to shoot.

Bandersnatch

I check in periodically for new posts and I'm hoping that I'll have some new photos and hunting stories this season that feature the 81.

Bandersnatch

I almost bid on that one. Glad I didn't!

Methinks someone has replaced the barrel jacket with one from a model 8. Good eyes Bandersnatch! So the rear sight maybe, but I don't think barrel assemblies between 8/81's and FN 1900's are interchangeable. The receivers are recessed differently for the takedown screw and jacket head. Great lookin...

Ooh, a nice little group in the center. Seems to shoot well.

Perhaps a touch more lube and some more shooting to break it in?

Bandersnatch

Still a buck a day in AL, but limited to total of three for all combined seasons. Now, we can take a doe a day all season long!

That .25 ought to do just fine for the critters you have there.

Bandersnatch

Mr Bandersnatch---Almost a year, but I am back online. Notice you are in "lower Alabama"--I'm from east Tennessee. Spent some very enjoyable days in AL (aside from our football rivalry--Go Vols!!). Ft McClellan & Montgomery. Have 2 other Rem autos--a M8 in .25 and 81 in .300. Really enjoy the mecha...

Sorry I should have mentioned that, it is a .32.

Jim

Very good. The holes seemed a trifle large for a .30.

I have sometimes considered a mount like this but I've been leery of putting so much weight on those two screws.

Bandersnatch

What caliber?

Bandersnatch

Some true beauties.

Bandersnatch

Just my two cents, but I think it should be a bit longer, out beyond the hand guard, with a band of some sort around the barrel jacket. This way not too much weight is put on the two sight screws and one could mount a scout scope.

Bandersnatch

Come on in. Set a spell.

Bandersnatch

Howdy do!

Bandersnatch

Should do for pigs quite nicely.

Bandersnatch

Just an FYI: M1A stripper clips work just fine.

Bandersnatch

This is the sort of thing I've been looking for: a 1906 Autoloader. Came close a couple of times but couldn't quite close the deal.

Bandersnatch

Very nice! May we see the side with the mount?

Bandersnatch

I like the non-permanent mods that can always be removed and the rifle returned to stock config if necessary. Great little addition! My dad once had the same pad on a Springfield M1A and liked it. Bet that's a comfortable shooter! I'll take her out this next week, whenever this Noah type flood lets...

A Garand cheek pad from Midway. The leather is new and very stiff, making installation a pain. But it gets the eye in line ...

It's good stuff.

I bought the tool I use, which is similar to this one, on eBay. Might be a place to go.
