Clint,That is one pretty shotgun. Go ahead and bid I promise I won`t try to outbid you. Noticed the same seller has a clean 20Ga. A5 that is a little closer to my limit depending on what the reserve is. Joe

Ditto to Remcrazy`s reply. Only real difference other than the finish and perhaps a higher grade wood is that the Rem 11 lacks the magazine cutoff switch that is on the A5. While handy to allow changing out a chambered round say buckshot for a load of 8`s on the A5, you can accomplish the same thing...

Thanks for the compliments. Remcrazy unknowingly helped me out with the pattern. His Gunbroker listing of a checkered 81 awhile back when blown up to 200 percent image gave me a pattern I could trace and duplicate from the computer.Ah the marvels of modern technology. I`ve attached a couple photos o...

Alan,
I saw them available on Wisnersinc.com for $22 .Check with them to see if in stock.If nada Remcrazy had one on Gunbroker that sold last month but pictured two on the listing.You might check with him to see if he has one available. Joe

Wildgoose posted his retro deer rig and got me to working on mine. Thanks I needed the encouragement. This 81 came to me with some damage (dents ) on the rounded portion of the receiver.I intended to scope it and thought the base would cover the damage.Also gave me an excuse to drill holes in an old...

Welcome and hope we can help you with the question. The tang sight screw hole was factory drilled .Who knows what was done with it before you became the owner.You didn`t say where you found the screws but several us on the forum depend on Joe Hulett at joe@aperturesnmore.com to supply us with the sc...

The entire link didn`t copy and paste. Go to the First Post by JONBEGOOD and the link is there.

Go to the above link.Keep scrolling until you get to the bolt assembly.This should answer all your questions. Joe

Thanks Jerry for the copies of manual and the additional photos and information. For those on the forum that have not taken advantage of his generous offer you are missing something.He also included some photos of some high grade Remington and Winchesters and a couple great cartridge displays that w...

Thanks for letting me know I`m not the only one to make that mistake. I know just enough about this computer to get into trouble. I will ask "the one that thy shall not cross" to help me the next time .She is the computer expert around here.

The Stith mount from Fleabay came in.As I hoped the front mount is perfect with all screws.I removed the large ring that was probably for a K4 or similar belled scope and replaced with a straight one inch tube that I had.This will be used with a K2.5 or K3. The rear mount is a real puzzle.Indeed it ...

You did well and didn`t have to pay shipping.Yes I`m back again.No Lotto winnings this week so, the mountain top will have to wait. My three boxes came in this afternoon and they look very good, I may be able to bypass the press for awhile too. Joe

Lotto tickets bought! Vegas? I thought the Pharoah in D.C said we shouldn`t go there. Ok, I`ll keep it apolitical. The green boxed stuff looks pretty good.I will probably shoot a few and see how they do. If any sign of splits will pull the bullets,anneal and reload.Drawing tonight at 11.If you don`t...

Glad that you broke the ice and jumped in with a post and also joined the rest of us addicted souls by acquiring a couple guns to start your collection. Reloading for the 30 and 35 for Mod 8`s and 81`s doesn`t have to be a mystery. I would suggest rather than searching for someone elses opinions and...

If you are not a"Bubba" get in touch with Remcrazy here on the forum or go to his Gunbroker listings under Circlebranch(seller). He has the Pro-Tool on there now Item # 226076511 . I have one and it works just as advertised no pipewrench needed. The sticky of takedown instructions are here...

Jerry, Thanks for your offer on the manual.I will be sending you a SASE. I don`t have the answer for your problem but if it is not a broken part something may be missing or in backassered. You might go to the post by JONBEGOOD back in Jan " MODEL 8 Disassembly pics".It has excellent link t...

While back, Remcrazy and I were emailing each other re;some of his items for sale and this subject came up.He told me about his find.I have found several hunting licenses and owners names over the years but best was a folded $100 bill .This was under buttplate of a Browning "Sweetsixteen" ...

Wanted to thank you for the post . I usually catch the new Stith listings but this one fell through the cracks.I agree with you about the rear mount.It doesn`t match up with any info I have on 8/81 mounts. I was looking for a front mount so I bid and bought it for decent $. My preferred way to use t...

The new email is joe@aperturesnmore.com

Now that is a nice group! As you said even with the two fliers the deer is dead. Rolling your own is the way to go.Who knows where things are headed down the road. I have 4 rifles in 300Sav Three 99 Savages and a Remington 81. My favorite load is 38g of BLC-2 with the 180gr Core-Lokt`s. This is abou...

Took my latest M81 out for a test shoot today. Using factory Winchester 300 Savage ammo 150 grain Spire Points it shot pretty darn well at 100 yards. But I did have two failures to feed out of twenty rounds. Both were on the second shot from a full mag of four. Seems the round bounced up when it hit...

Jim, I agree with the answer of the marketing manager at Hornady being in line for a fat bonus.Of the variety of calibers offered by Hornady in the Leverevolution loading only the 30-30 shows a significant difference that I can see.This is why the 30-30 people with Marlin and Winchester lever guns a...

Thanks so much for sharing this.I feel embarassed that as a student of history, I was unaware of these facts.Looks like it didn`t get by our 40th President. A shame #44 doesn`t understand it as well.Perhaps he is just unaware like I was and should have this sent to him.This sure will make me look at...

I didn`t think about the grooves not being there.Should have been a clue with it being a Pre Model 11.I did one a few years back sans groove and cut one with my trusty Dremel and cut off wheel to lay the Kevlar in. I did the stock on Winchester`s biggest mistake a Widowmaker a few years back and end...

I appreciate the heatgun idea .I usually use the hot Florida sun and it works pretty good .In addition I make a paste (pancake batter thick) with "Whiting" and denatured alchohol and spread it over the stained area .Let it dry and you will see the oil drawn into the white powder.Repeat unt...

Good price for that one. Gluing the forends works pretty good but as you may know the weak point is at the receiver end.I have repaired dozens of A5`s and Model 11`s with the splits there. My fix in addition to gluing involves removing the strip of wood that is in the cutout inside if it is still th...

Jim, If this is a Lyman #1 tang site it has a locking lever on the left side.After raising the post from the rearward rest position to upright sighting position move the lever forward (you will hear and feel some clicks).This will lock the post in position.Moving it rearward ( more clicks) will allo...

Thanks for the tip using a penny to remove rust.I recently did a Remington 7mm carbine rolling block that was in pretty good shape save some rust on receiver.No pits but had some spots that were really dark as if stained into the metal.I have used copper scouring pads and also brass bore brushes in ...

Welcome .I see that you have received some advice re touch up bluing. I tend to disagree with the assessment that "all" cold bluing is pretty much the same.There is one stand out amonst the brands offered and it is Oxpho sold by Brownell`s. I use the creme formula and as with most products...

I see that your post has not been answered in several weeks.I don`t know if I clearly understand the problem.I am familiar with the G+H mount but is the scope you describe as All Weather a Lyman Alaskan or what?If the problem is the adjustment turrents getting in the way of ejecting shells you only ...

30 Remington Ammo Guns International #100157588 .I saw this listing and it appears at least by the boxes to be recent manufacture. Price was $30 for full box of 20 (had 3) and $25 for partial box of 15. Hope this might help those looking for ammo and some decent brass for reloads.

New member and glad to be here. Acquired a Model 8 35cal. made 1916 just before Christmas.While doing some research on it I found this site and forum. Saw the listing from Eric Sandberg in Naples,Fl for the First year Model 8 and case.It will be on the way soon to the other end of Florida to add to ...
