Ok, All files appear to be too large for this so-called new and improved format. Trying again to see if I can post a photo that I`ve posted here before with the old format. I`m done.......all too large now. The forum should be very interesting WITHOUT photos. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil...

http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/11919505/gonew/1/FS_Remington_Model_11_1946_NEW#UNREAD I know we have a few Model 11 collectors here. This one is not likely to be found again. Take a look @ above link. Joe
Okay...Jack posted before that I was gonna help with the cooking. Everybody must be worried about Fried fish. I will relent and grill a bunch of it to be more heart healthy and help you guys keep your boyish figure. Don`t be bashful.Jump in with a commitment to be there. Most fun that you can have w...
Jack, You didn`t mention the Cartridge trap. I want one for my Ross. I`ll be taking some measurements when I hopefully hold this beautiful custom this summer at the farm. You ARE going to let us shoot it a little?

Photos are the original and duplicate . My 14 is disassembled and in process of being polished and blued so I did not try the new part. From the measurements the duplicate part appears to be almost exact. He was glad to do it for me but said "I don`t want to make a living at it, time consuming ...
Nice, Larry. Enjoyed seeing the photos of the 11C and the Model 25 on your other posts. That 11C is something else.Pretty wood. Glad you are taking the leap into reloading with the 25-20. The only way to go when shooting one of those, factory stuff way too expensive. Won`t be long and you will be re...
As I expected the cartridge stop for the 14 is a little more complicated than the one I made for the 29 Savage. Left both of them with my friend and he is going to give it a try with his mill. We decided that even with mill work the final fit would best be done with a good eye and sharp file. When h...
Faced this issue with a Savage Model 29 pump 22. The 29 cartridge stop is held in place by pressure from the action bar. Easily misplaced during disassembly and like real estate they ain`t making more. Finally gave up and was fortunate to get the part in hand from a friend`s rifle and using it as te...
Carl, Good on you. George had posted his phone # on here while back when he was looking for a power checkering tool. http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4595 . I gave him a call tonight.Found him in good spirits but weak after triple by-pass. Says he won`t be sh...
It is well that you were there to assist your friend. Great looking wood on the 14 and the target groups look to be "minute of deer". Cam, there will be a 14 and 141 for you to shoot at Jack`s this summer. Joe
Try these folks: http://www.gunville.com/collections/remington/products/remington-8-stock-set They list the set but contact them and see if they will sell you just the forearm . Joe
Whew! This will certainly open up the proverbial "Can of worms". Opinions on gun lubricants and their application would I imagine be pretty varied. Some have a tried and true product that they started out with taking care of their first 22 single shot way back when. Some buy and try every ...
Even though we are Remington guys some of us do fiddle with the Dubja brand. The "Russian Musket" as you will read about in the link below was indeed fitted with a stripper clip guide per the contract with Winchester. It was an 1895 variant and chambered for the 7.62X54 Rimmed cartridge. I...
It has been pointed out correctly that your rifle was reblued using modern hot dip process rather than period correct rust blue. The bright shiny blue is a detractor rather than a plus. Notice that you have listed it "for sale" on another post and I won`t comment on it there. The 'shooter ...
Jack, Thanks so much for posting your heart felt message. Sorry for the loss of family members and from me, especially Phil`s passing. He will live on at our event with the shooting bench he built."Two things that come not again are the spoken word and neglected opportunity". Hope all that...
L.C. , I cannot say that I feel your pain as I do not reside within the barbed wire confines of a state such as Kalifornia. Have several friends that left our backward section of the country in search of "California Dreams" and have heard similar laments from them. Approaching the sunset o...
http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Remington_Model_8 The above link lists the movies where a Model 8 Remington appears. If you are like me old movies and old guns go together. Quite unexpected while viewing "The Philidelphia Story" with Cary Grant and Kathryn Hepburn the other night one of our 8`s ...
Fine steel wool or a brass brush will work. With age they do corrode and the brass can become brittle.You may have some split necks when you shoot them.
With the possible effect on our chosen hobby I felt obligated to make a comment about this historic day. In keeping with the apolitical tenets of the forum it is but one word.
Well everybody would love to have a good machinist on hand.If not an alternative might be a strip of thin soft metal inserted to give the screw something to grab. If that doesn`t work you might try my go to fix it "JB Weld". Probably have to drill out the stripped threads some to give enou...
The 2nd Amendment protections are not the only single issue. The survival of our our Country with any semblance of what we were raised with is at stake.
I feel your pain ! Went through this with a couple 99Savages with the flip up tang sights. Soon ran out of front sight adjustment. Sold the tang mounted peeps and equipped one with a low power scope in Stith Mounts and put a Redfield peep that was windage adjustable on the other. Recently traded int...
Roger, pictured below is a fellow that will more than likely agree with your assessment. I watched Carl(Phyrbird) spend some time at the bench at Jack`s farm with his 32. I have an interest in it too cause he was shooting my reloads. The reloads were fairly mild 170gr Hornady in front of 31grs of BL...
Sounds like a great find.Welcome to our group .If you happen to make our Greet &Meet in Illinois next year you will win the prize I`m sure for the one that traveled the furthest. If those strict gun laws allow we would love to see photos of your find. Joe
Time well spent. Getting to meet and share ideas with other members was worth the miles I put on my Tahoe. Jack was in his element and deserves many thanks. Check out the video when we were all lined up shooting.....Jack caught me by surprise after clearing the jam on his Police gun and rattled off ...
Looking forward to claiming a copy Cam. This time tomorrow I`ll be "On the Road Again" headed north. Stopover in Atlanta and will get to Taylorville sometime Thursday afternoon. Hoping fair skies and cool weather up there. Got to be cooler than the mid and upper 90`s here. Bringing a truck...
Hope that the info on the link helps. Bob`s approach by mixing up different formulas may be what you are looking for. He has a variety available.If you decide to order and are not sure use the contact information or the Blog and ask his advice first.

I am assuming by "cold" rust blue you are referring to the slow rust blue done with a damp box instead of steam or boiling water. Not lasting? How so? Have found that process to not only be the most labor intensive and tedious but also the most beautiful and longest lasting. An alternative...
