Here you are Guys, For those of you that have done stock refinishing, I have a question for you. What have you found to be the most effective way of removing oil stains from the stock? I have removed the stock from the rifle and have removed the old finish down to the original wood. The area of the ...

Hi Rich$,

Welcome aboard. Glad to have another rifle guy who appreciates these Remingtons. Let us know how we can help.

Very Very Nice. You don't see many in that good of condition. I wouldn't be shooting that one either. As to the debate to shoot or not to shoot. Like most collectors I can line up on either side. I would not want ANY rifle that couldn't be shot but that doesn't mean that I shoot all that I have. The...

jack1653

Hi Dennis, That is a nice looking rifle! I have a couple with very similar checkering and am of the belief they are not factory but still a good job. When you have a factory checkered layed side by side you can see the subtle differences. You got a heck of a buy and to have a Krieger at that price i...

Hi Gunny, There is absolutely no problem in breaking the gun down and putting it back together. Mr. Browning knew how to design a rifle and make it easy for the user to use. I also agree with the shipping statement made by imfuncity. I mail them all the time through the USPS Prioity Mail triangular ...

Hi Gunny, A big old welcome to the Forum from Georgia. Where do you call home? :?: As the official diagnostician of the ill-famed "jackitis", I am afraid it may be a little early to tell for sure. :? I would say that you are definitely exhibiting some serious symptoms of the yet to determi...

Hi,

You bet I am interested. I sent a PM. If you don't see it, just send pictures to jack1653@att.net.

Hi Guys, I am still looking for a 1930 model 8. I need a 1930 in any caliber with a serial number between 61648-64024 and the barrel code ending in "Y" to complete a set of Model 8's for each year they were manufactured. I would be willing to consider a trade if someone has one or just an ...

jack1653

Okay. I get the messasge. Honest guys, I did get pictures of the two hogs but they were taken by my friend who was using a disposable camera because both of us had left our didital cameras at home. :( The camera did have a flash attachment so the pictures should be okay, but I am at his mercy as to ...

jack1653

I tried to get some input from the readers on this subject but I did not get any responses. :( Again, I would like to know, not that it makes any difference, what was the last rifle issued? I have not heard of anyone having a number higher than the one I posted. The highest serial number that is on ...

jack1653

That is a definite possibility. One of the blessings and curses of these rifles is that the parts are interchangeable. It was not uncommon for owners to find components off of other rifles to replace broken or missing parts. Remington seemed to have inconsistencies in stamping serial numbers on the ...

jack1653

Hi Pack I am interested in the get together. It will depend on the dates but I would love to try and make it. I would bring a couple of rifles just to make it interesting, if I can find any. :lol: The hunting sounds like a good idea and I might be interested in trying to arrange something. Would the...

jack1653

C'mon guys, Give an old man a break. :o I am waiting to get the pictures back from my friend who took them. By the time I remembered the picture for the second hog, I had it quartered and in the ice chest. Getting older is affecting my memory but not my shooting. :shock: By the time I remember to ta...

Howdy,

Busted another hog this evening with a S&W .357. The Model 81 .300 was used for backup but it wasn't needed.

Hi Jarrod, Welcome to the forum. What to pay is a common question to newcomers.The premium is a tough question to answer. There are so many variables that go into setting the value or premium of any rifle. The quality of the finish, whether the checkering is factory or done by a competitent craftsma...

jack1653

Howdy, I don't have the pictures yet, but wanted to say that I killed a 180 pound sow this past Saturday. I was using a model 81 .300 Savage with a Krieger conversion. The rifle is outfitted with a Packmeyer tip mount and it functioned perfectly. If you guys haven't used a Krieger conversion, let me...

jack1653

Mitch,

Any chance you would be swinging through the sunny south while you are out east?

I think I saw you mention you had relatives in Alabama. Anyway, if you get close to the Atlanta area, let me know. I would like for you to run by and see some Remingtons.

Jack

jack1653

Howdy,

You have to be careful with that jackitis!! it looks like you did very well with those three. They are fine looking rifles. What are the dates on these?

Congratulations!

Jack

jack1653

Howdy,

What time this summer are you considering? What part of Ohio would the event be held? It would be a little drive from Georgia, But I might try and make it.

Hi Mitch,

I haven't heard of this process and I will be writing it down and put it where I won't forget it, I hope.

Thanks for sharing the information.

Jack

jack1653

Howdy,

Yep, I got an odd one. It is a 22-250. I need to have the .300 Sav removed and put the right caliber on it. I think packmule told me that the .300 barrel probably had been removed and the 22-250 was put in it's place. I have wondered how it would shoot.

jack1653

jack1653

Howdy, Thanks Rob for checking. I appreciate the effort. I am sure one will show up. I just feel so darn stupid for making the error. :o I was so proud to think that I had a model 8 for every year of manufacture and then to find out I didn't, was a big disappointment. :( Like I mentioned earlier, I ...

jack1653

Howdy,

I don't care who you are that is funny.

Do you reckon I could find enough?

jack1653

jack1653

Hi Guys, I was checking my collection today against my computer records and found that I had made a transcription error of the serial number. :shock: How do you fix stupid? Just a little mix up in my typing skills has left a void in my goal of having one rifle for each year the Model 8 was manufactu...

jack1653

Hey Guys, I figured this one out a long time ago. After I found a pretty easy way, to do it, I was so proud of my self and was bragging about it to 2verpsters and he set me straight. He pointed out a couple of things that made it even easier. It seems he has been doing something similar for several ...

jack1653

Hey upjohnson, There is one guy I know who does good work. You could send him a PM to see if he has the time. He will tell you what you need to know and can give you the price. It will depend on what kind of detachable mag you want and whether you have the components. Send the PM to 2verpsters. Good...

jack1653

Hey, I am right with the other comments. I would not reblue. You will lose something unless it is done professionally and then the expense is more than the gun. Nine times out of ten you will lose fine detail and have rounded edges. That being said, I do have some that have been re-blued and you can...

jack1653

Hey, Welcome to the forum. I agree with the other guys about the value. Tell me what you are looking for and I might be able to help you. I have several rifles that are already tapped for a variety of scopes. I will consider trading or outright selling one if you are interested. I have several that ...

jack1653

Hey Ironwood, Welcome to the forum. Good to have another John Browning fan. I would say you did very well with this purchase. Price is always subjective and if it is something you wanted then the price is right. Certainly anything under $300 is a bargain particularly if it is in decent conditon and ...

jack1653

Hey Dennis,

Now there you go tempting me.

That would be a tough decision so I guess I will pass for now.

I have a Parker D Grade 10 gauge that would look good on your web site. I could make you a heck of a deal on it.

Regards,

Jack

jack1653

Hey rem81auto,

That indeed is a fine looking rifle. Very nice wood and a good addition to your collection. I notice there was not a "NFS" on it. Is it?

Hey Guys, I want to thank sighthound for giving me the opportunity to give this beautiful rifle a new home. This rifle will have a special place among my collection and it is special because it came from Sweden. My Grandfather was born in Sweden and came to the USA when he was 8 years old. I know th...

Hey Guys, The search is over for the 1933 Model 8. I was successful in finally finding one that I will be receiving right after Christmas. It has been a tough search but persistence has paid off. When I get the rifle, I will have successfully completed an objective set a long time ago. I can now say...

jack1653

Hey Jonbegood, Thanks a million for this posting!!!! This is the first time I have seen these pictures and they sure are good. Maybe 81police can figure a way to get the link posted in a special area. I know the picture will be helpful to others. Thanks again for the contribution. Merry Christmas, j...

jack1653

Hey Sam,

I missed that little detail about the number on the receiver. I would rather think that this was just a case of mis-stamping the last two digits. Definitely something amiss with the numbering, but like I stated, it won't affect the shooting of the rifle.

Jack

jack1653

Hey Telson, Welcome to the forum! I would say that there is someone else out there with a model 81 that has everything matching except the last two digits on their tang. I don't know if that is the case with your rifle, but it would make sense. It sounds like whoever put the rifle together may have ...

jack1653

Hey Mark,

You can find vintage peep sights but sometimes they are pricey. There are a couple of tang sights on Gun Broker at present. You can also find them on EBay from time to them. Just tell us what type you are looking for and someone will tell you where to look.

Good Luck,

jack1653

jack1653

Hey Mark, Welcome to the forum. I have some of those Michigan rifles and if only they could talk what stories they would tell. I am glad you like shooting the rifle and it will serve you well. Let us know what type of sight you are looking for and I am sure you will get some good leads to find one. ...

Hey Guys, That that sounds like a great idea. I am in Georgia and I would make the drive if we could solicit enough interest.

Hey Guys, I think the email address is incorrect. If you get an error message, try using "yahoo" instead of yaho. I notified JohnBrowning of the error, but he may not see it for a few days. For what it is worth, I have some of these clips and they are as advertised and in great condition. ...
