I just disassembled my 30 rem barrel assembly to a recent purchase because the barrel appeared not to extend past the barrel nut enough and to make sure everything was there. Everything was there, well lubed, including a split washer that is not supposed to be there, I left it out upon reassembly. W...

Why does the receiver police department lettering look so sloppy

http://www.gunbroker.com/item/570467006

uhjohnson

I can't believe I didn't pick up on that

uhjohnson

I hope i am not offending anyone by resurrecting this old thread but i don't think it has been answered. I have been reading many threads about the different springs used on the 8/81's and found this one very interesting. In another thread someone mentioned the 25 buffer spring could be compressed b...

uhjohnson

Yes there is a small hairline crack about 1/2 inch, how did you know, it is tight and does not open when flexed

uhjohnson

The seller claims this is an unaltered 2nd year model 8, tell me if I am correct in what I see wrong, all in all it is a nice gun but I don't think it's worth $1,100. The barrel jacket is wrong, i think it should have an 02 or 07 patent date. The magazine as well as the trigger guard should not have...

uhjohnson

What were the calibers offered for the first few years for the model 8

Thanks

uhjohnson

How do i get the scope mount plugs out

uhjohnson

I just got this m8 serial number 25593 with a high patent date of 1902 (i think it is too early for the gun) and the barrel is marked 30-30Rem all in all the gun is in great shape for 310.00, no rust 85%, unmolested round knob. I bought this gun because it has been tapped for a weaver #4 mount, some...

uhjohnson

I don't know what happened to the link. Looks like a broken E(gg) to me and if it is, why would someone part this beautiful specimen out, and no, he does not have the receiver to buy all the pieces to "put humpty together again". Would it be worth buying all the pieces available and puttin...

uhjohnson

Is this Remington's checkering or is it aftermarket

Thanks

uhjohnson

I just won this off of gunrunner and need to know what scope mount was on the receiver

Thanks

uhjohnson

I finely got a barrel assembly with a 1902 patent date (without sights) and when it arrived i noticed a little swell about 10 inches from the mating surface of the jacket head. After mounting to the receiver it appeared to bend downward, i removed it an placed it on a flat surface between the front ...

Here is a Winchester 1907 from Folsum

uhjohnson

I'm not as good as some of you guys, this is my eighth spring pole (8/81) and there will be more. I think I paid a fair price and it appears to be unmolested. I see some going for about the same price and more with rubber butts, extra holes, and sanded stocks. Tell me what you think and possibly wha...

uhjohnson

Here is one 3/22/16 for 14 dollars

uhjohnson

One of these days I will get one. Nice. You showed us, now tell us how it shoots. I can see the similarity to the Thompson/Center Contender

uhjohnson

here's my imagination going fully wild, that stunp coming off the tree trunk looks like a head with your hat on it, you can make out the nose and the mouth is yelling: YEAH!!! then it would continue saying, you can lay that JMB model 8 on me anytime, hey wait don't pee on me.

uhjohnson

I decided to go back and look at the paper that the parts were wrapped in and found it is oil soaked news paper, not weatherproof paper, I can't make much out but this little piece caught my eye, the lightening holes are also a time capsules. Does anyone have an idea what year in November this was p...

uhjohnson

I started shaking the stock and was hearing a thump in the lightning holes, so I took the butt plate off and wrapped in two pieces of old, fragile weatherproof paper was a mainspring, firing pin and a lyman front sight, yes it is a model 8 round knob butt stock. Now I can subtract the cost of these ...

uhjohnson

I just recently purchased 100 cases of 25 Remington converted from 30 30 Winchester through a process of hydroforming. I paid $1 per case, the necks/shoulders were annealed, the rims turn down and a cut put at the base for the ejector, I have placed 5 rounds in my model 8 and each ejected by hand, I...

uhjohnson

I bought this unsanded round knob butt stock off of ebay thinking it was a model 8(It is a beauty with cheeks that you can't see in the photos). I have two model 8 receivers and both receivers fit the stock, the trouble is neither trigger guard fits. I have one straight (21,000) trigger guard that d...

uhjohnson

How many receiver, trigger guard assemblies were made in the model 8 series that would crossfit one another. I have a 21,000 and 26,000 model 8 receiver and trigger guard assembly. The 21,000 straight trigger guard will fit the 26,000 receiver because it has a double tapped/angled block on the upper...

uhjohnson

Is this how the notch is supposed to look

uhjohnson

The rear sight dovetail doesn't look right, it looks as if it has been lengthened and an original sight will no longer work. What do you think?

uhjohnson

I didn't want to post the auction on the site but no matter what I tried to get a screenshot to upload the file was still too big.
Was this butt plate offered by Remington or was it an aftermarket butt plate with the stock modified

uhjohnson

I think it would have looked better in my arms at the range and sleeping in my safe

uhjohnson

No

I have a Krieger that came with two mags and was thinking about getting the mag on GB and try to extend it with two more regular mags to get high capacity

uhjohnson

Is this a Kreiger magazine
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =499371149

uhjohnson

With a low serial number like this it could be the first custom 81. Anyone out there know of a lower number custom.

uhjohnson

and probably a long time before I see another. I may have paid a bit much but it was only on the block for three days and no one else challenged the Initial offering, so it was either too high or the auction was too short. So unless you look at the completed auctions you won't see this one of a kind...

He was at 585 4 months ago. You are the second person looking for one at this time

uhjohnson

Take the full plunge, he was at 585 about 4 months ago

uhjohnson

Has the stock been sanded

uhjohnson

I bought this thinking it was an 81 butt stock and won't be home for a couple of weeks. After looking at a couple of 81's on GB i see there are two screws in the bottom tang ,my stock only has one hole and the buttplate looks identical to the 81. What do you think

uhjohnson

Have the ears been removed or did remington stop putting them on rifles by this year

uhjohnson

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =470996193

Did i pay too much and what does anyone see wrong with it other than the split in the forearm

Thanks

uhjohnson

Is this hole here because it was missed during production or did it open up durning a reblue. I seem to recall seeing flush finished circular areas in this area on receivers

Thanks

uhjohnson

Is this a pre dated rear sight or a later undated sight that I got on a 1902 dated barrel jacket from a parts set and the cut receiver is 26,012. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=452319387 IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN THE CUT REVEIVER PM ME WITH AN OFFER . WHOEVER CUT IT THREW A PIE...

uhjohnson

Does the magazine have to be swapped out

uhjohnson

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=452319387 just got this .25 set off GB and it is great. the bore is pristine and the barrel jacket/head is solid. the patent lines highest date is 1902 and the sight appears to be original however it does not have the 1902 date like the sight on my...

uhjohnson

I need a 35 cal. bolt and there is a bolt on ebay that the seller thinks is a 30 cal. What can I look for on this bolt to assure it is a 30 cal. bolt and not a 35

Thanks

uhjohnson

is the scope a Winchester A5

uhjohnson

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-REPRO-8 ... 258b5ffacf. this would be a nice picture in the gallery

uhjohnson

Looks a little anemic with only 5 shots but still a nice one of a kind

What would it cost to build

uhjohnson

I agree the one was never there because there is not enough room. I think it would look like a run on (9,1900). Look at the space of the following two dates, they have more space for the one.

uhjohnson

I am looking for a barrel jacket head

Thanks

uhjohnson

Does the barrel jacket/head screw together and pin the same as the 8/81

Thanks

uhjohnson

I have read the thread loose barrel jacket but my problem goes a step farther. Not only do I have rotational movement, I have longitudinal, lateral and diagonal. this tells me the threads are bad, either the head, jacket or both depending on which is the hardest metal, they are probably the same. I ...

uhjohnson

The barrel jacket head in the next to last photo has a diamond stamp. Wasn't this marking used on a few late 8's and all 81's

Thanks
