Very nice Adam, Congrats. I appreciate you getting beautiful finishes on one of our ladies...

Extractors on the 35 Rem are usually straight not curved. Trouble is the 300 Sav is straight too. And the 300S is slightly larger ID bolt face. About .006. I miked all three. 25-30-32Rem have a smaller bolt face than both. 300 Sav might work with 35Rem, don't know haven't tried it yet.

Sarge,
You have the packaging idea right, and by the way FEDEX takes 8-12 weeks to pay insurance. IF the insurance guy can be bullied into it. they spend a lot of time denying your claim.

Phyrbird

Has the first 35 Rem arrived yet?

I believe the incubation period for Jackitis is about 10 minutes

Phyrbird

I think you got a good deal. FBI style sling swivels, Weaver scope (likely 2.5 or 3X), 35 Rem caliber, and the wood looks like it's not below the metal from sanding. Check to see if the numbers all match. :ugeek: Weaver scope if OK sells for about $75-100. Scope rings about $20 Sling eyes usually go...

Dewalt, I just hooked up with the Mennonite folks, will be taking the case and some other work for them. I'll keep you posted on progress. You note it's slow, they are more than an hour away, no phone, everything is face to face and cash. For your work on holsters and such you might consider connect...

Meat Hunter,
Here are a couple other ideas we've come up with

the problem with the bolt is not hard, pull the bolt back about half way, take a wood dowel or something non-scratch and rotate the bolt lugs vertical. Serial #s: the butt plates were all numbered to the rifles, as were the butt stocks in the bottom tang groove. Sometimes other parts were numbered w...

Phyrbird

Charlie, I think from the photos and your notes your chamber may just a little different than standard. I agree that a bore-scope may be in order. Just the same, if you don't use max loads, neck size to the top shoulder, and remember to fireform new brass, there should be little problem. Eventually ...

Phyrbird

thank you Don.

Thanks SimmerD (Don) very timely responses, glad I could help...

AhHA

We tried to tell you about the Jackitis

Phyrbird

OOOOO

Holographic sight on the barrel

Nice, what's the drill for attaching the rail?

I've a similar mount idea for a pistol scope that is a no drill assembly, any interest

Phyrbird

If I had the extra cash flow I'd be on it like stink on a skunk.

The reason for some of the questions: I have a dozen 270 cases I cannot use, my father in law full length resized down to the shell holder. The firing pin just barely touches the primer. WAY TOO much. Over sized cases can separate and blow back on you. As said before the right way is to size without...

Phyrbird

Is this the first firing after sizing from 30R to 25R? If so are you using a fire forming load or a full load the first time? Are you running the sizer die all the way down to the shell holder? ( not recommended, the first time the case is sized smaller they should only be sized till the empty brass...

Phyrbird

could be headspace with the resized cases.

Sarge, You just told me what my other G&H mount is worth. Got 2, one on the M81 cherry 35rem caliber. The other is reserved for the M8 in 32 Rem with a button on the bottom of the trigger guard. :D After I get the 2 swap barrels fitted and blued. I only need a 30 Rem barrel and a buffer spring t...

Phyrbird

sound like a solid plan to me, wish I could find the time to do similar range testing.

Phyrbird

Fred, Had (and traded) a R742 3006 that would miss a paper plate at 100yds. Yeah, 12" groups. :x a Marlin 4570 that was almost as bad Dad's 760 3006 will never miss a milk jug at 300yds, and a re barreled Springfield 03 will group under an inch at 200yds. :D Try differing loads, it will make a ...

You mentioned hand cannons. You should try the 460S&W, same kick, flatter trajectory, up to a 400g bullet if you can find them in .452. :D I like the 35Rem in the Contender super 14 as well, though it has hazards for your elbow if you lay it on the table. :oops: Other favorites are 4 win mag and...

Oh members of the Jackitis club. I think there is G&H mount on Ebay for M8 & 81. I've not the extra cash for this just yet. If someone on the site wins it, I might be able to trade for it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Griffin-Howe-Inc-New-York-Base-Mount-and-1-Rings-Pat-May-3-1932-/331264284110?s...

I don't know yet, but I will. there are all the calibers here to be checked.
When I pull one apart I take dimensional notes. I have documented a difference of over all length of a used 35 Rem recoil spring vs new.

Phyrbird

So I shouldn't have given away my Rock Chucker press? Oh Yeah :!: I would likely try the water anneal method. Safer 32 Remington dies are it then. Glad I asked. I think I will lube liberally, then clean before or after annealing in the tumbler? If you use MotoMica you don't have to clean, no proble...

Phyrbird

Jim, a. the Dillon can expand the 30R to 32, I don't recommend it. A compound press with the ram centered under the die will give better results. B. Be sure to lube the inside of the case mouth thoroughly. I use MotoMica or Imperial sizing die wax. Accordianed brass don't fit in the chamber very wel...

Phyrbird

Thank you Denny, a very nice trade.

Just a note for other members, Denny is nice to work with, delivers what and when he says.

Phyrbird

One of the issues that can cause this is if someone has stoned the trigger or hammer hooks to lighten the trigger pull. The safety lever may have twisted on the shaft, I've seen this on a rifle or 2. You might check the screw that holds the trigger spring and the Main spring is tight, it's the secon...

Denny,

Did you get my last PM? If not email me, please.

Jerry, I've one that looks just like yours on a Model8, depends on the actual dimensions. If you are fitting a reproduction stock it will be easier to use the plastic ones. Getting the angle on the toe of these metal ones can be hard to get a clean precise fit. If you ever have to fit one of the &qu...

Just a thought, any comments on ceramicote v.s. NIB-X coatings? I have a local vendor that does the ceramicote.
And a Savage 755 begging for a nice refinsh.

Sarge,
That is way cool

to take an old beater and re-furb it to make it current.
Frankly I like the Lyman choke, got one I should mount....

HHHMMM

Phyrbird

Very nice

Bet the rifle was lighter before

just like the early Pontiac Nascar frames, swiss cheese style.
The buff job is great, very little damage to the lettering, good job

Oh Grand and Mighty Jack of the Models 8 & 81, (Yeah I'm laying it on thick) I have some trading material we might discuss. You may have seen my first M81 in 35Rem with the nice checkering. I'd like to find a nice Model 8 in 35 Rem with the semi pistol grip and perhaps checkered stocks. It shoul...

Phyrbird

you are right about that, I found a 1910 Winchester in 401, a German Mauser 11mm single shot bolt action, and a 16ga rolling block shotgun. All but the Winchester were reasonable. Pity there was no cash for that time...

Pretty Ladies

Looks like the 25REM was not hurt in the safe, pity about the stocks.
Sarge is right about the supplier, Congrats and Welcome.

Phyrbird

IMFun... You might check with the S&S Huntclub guys they are the only ones I 've seen with the base for sale. I'm pretty sure they are brazed on the barrel sleeve after the sleeve is threaded in the back.

Phyrbird

I think the model 8 has pieces riveted inside the receiver. Just as the 870 ejector is riveted. they can be replaced but it requires a blue job after riveting.
