This looks rather nifty.

If I read the signs aright, LXX3 is a repair code from feburary 1952. The rifle was sent to Remington and fixed.

I don't know what the other one is. Pics would definitely help.

Bandersnatch

I'll take one.

Bandersnatch

The reflex sight was me in 2014. It was a quick and dirty modified weaver rail to try and eliminate the other sight systems as culprit for poor accuracy, and now I'm looking to do it right on a replacement barrel/jacket. I have a drilled-and-tapped receiver already and the offset scope is the worst...

Bandersnatch

It's very pretty, but not factory engraving or checkering. I'd not pay $3500 for it.

A big reason we love our Rem 8 & 81 rifles is nostalgia for simpler and, IMO, better times. Pics of hunting camps back in the day--esp. featuring our fav rifles--are icing on the cake!

But---My 8 in .35 Rem. is no fun to shoot from the bench!

She's got some thump, don't she?

Bandersnatch

I can't get the pic, but eBay has a repaired safety lever for sale and it looks hideous.

Bandersnatch

What is the Ken Waters load? Ken's pet load for .30 Rem is 32 grains of IMR3031 and a 150 grain Spitzer bullet. He didn't specify which Spitzer he used and I used a Hornady SST designed for 300 Savage in order to keep the round within overall length, 2.525". Remington factory literature of the day ...

Bandersnatch

I'd shoot it because, what the heck.

Hen's teeth are easier to find.

A lot.

Bandersnatch

How is the internal condition?

It's probably my anemic hand loads. I used 29.0 gr of IMR 3031 pushing 150 gr Hornady RN (#3035) around 2000 fps. I had already disassembled and thoroughly cleaned the rifle before shooting.

Ken Waters' load for this one is 32 gr of 3031 and a 150 gr bullet. Ejection is quite brisk.

Bandersnatch

How terribly interesting. Do we know what the brass plate signifies?

Bandersnatch

Actually I'd be happy if mine did that. They mostly eject straight up and land on my head.

Bandersnatch

Any Shell holder that fits .40 S+W will fit .30.

Bandersnatch

6th edition Lyman manual has 30 rem data.

Bandersnatch

Verra cool!

Bandersnatch

25 and 30 are definitely the easiest shooting of any of these rifles. 35 has more thump and I find that about 30 rnds is about all the fun I can stand.

Bandersnatch

I think I should be interested in this tool. Price?

Bandersnatch

Howdy!

Bandersnatch

Not the best engraving work I've ever seen. The deer looks like a goat and the bear appears surprised.

Bandersnatch

Verra nice!

Some interesting video of light machine guns.

Bandersnatch

Excellent!

Bandersnatch

There is a pin missing that fits between the safety and the safety rocker. It fits in the hole lowest in this pic, just below the large hole for the screw. You can fabricate this pin out of most anything. The pin locks the two halves of the safety together and it will work as designed.

Bandersnatch

A beauty!

Bandersnatch

Very nice!

Bandersnatch

Velly intelesting

Bandersnatch

I was considering buying that one. I think you did rather well.

I was asked some time back to document the progress on a custom rifle I was having built. It's a Yugoslav large ring receiver with a Douglas #1 air Guage barrel in 7mm Mauser. My smith is currently lapping the bolt lugs and shaving the extra bits off of the receiver. He'll drill the scope mount hole...

Bandersnatch

Saved to the list....

Bandersnatch

Oooh! Pretty!

Bandersnatch

Good shot!

Bandersnatch

2.525" is the correct length for 30 Rem. Hornady makes an FTX spire point for 30-30 the works well for 30 Rem. 32 grain of 3031 provides plenty of zip to work the action.

Bandersnatch

Pics?

Bandersnatch

Howdy!

Bandersnatch

Nice looking after market checkering. Cool rear sight. Hard thumping caliber.

What's not to like?

The Hornady ammo shoots just fine out of these old guns and is readily available.

Bandersnatch

Howdy do!

Bandersnatch

Yow!

Bandersnatch

Good shot!

Bandersnatch

What caliber?

Bandersnatch

Howdy!

Bandersnatch

35 Rem puts em down!

Bandersnatch

Howdy do!

Bandersnatch

Frankenstein AR15, Palmetto State Armory barrel, and I have no idea where I got the rest of the parts. At 100 yds.

Simmons Aetec 2.8-10x44mm

PMC 55gr ball.

Not very impressive, but should do for coyotes.

Bandersnatch

Winchester model 70 Featherweight,. 30-06, 100 yds.

Zeiss Conquest scope 3-9x40mm

Ammo is 125gr. Hornady SST over 50 grains of 3031. One of Ken Waters' pet loads.

Bandersnatch

My very favorite caliber
