Hello tallen702 Congratulations finding the sight options you were after. The tang mounted peeps look classy on the 8/81’s. As far as removal of the barrel mounted rear. I’d suggest using some oil around it and gently lift continue to work it upwards. Oil and work it for a few days if you’re worried...

Interesting choice, not my style.

Can’t be sure if it was done for sake of being custom or lack of original part “I’m guessing the latter”.

Hello Phyrbird.

is this still available?
___Bottom: Williams scope mount for M8-81 & A5 Shotguns w/ one set of rings (both available) should fit all, 4 screws in row

My buddy's father has an 81 that is drilled for a williams scope mount but he doesn't have the mount.

Here's a bit of info on for you to help make a decision if you're interested in said sight "it's been relisted at a lower price". I purchased the same exact setup from that seller "a different lot" early last month. The example I purchased retained the little arrow on the 41R tha...

Hibby83

Great job getting it back into service!

I've always appreciated the design and look of them but never jumped on wanting one. There was 4-5 Model G's at a gunshop I went to in Minnesota "Boone's Fine Guns".

Thanks for the information and visuals in the post.

Thumbs up for a good deal!

I am not a GB seller or a "looky-loos" as you put it in your ad. I assume that there is a percentage that watch just to see sold prices for particular models. I believe your ad could benefit from additional photos and more details in the description. Have you researched to see if the check...

Hibby83

My 25 Rem with round knob has the 3 screw setup. It was made in 1913 "32,xxx".

Hibby83

Hey ROBOPUMP I believe you meant to start a new thread. You are correct. I did see the auction you posted a link to. I can only assume that the original furniture has been removed or the the barreled assembly from the original gun has been put to use on that particular gun. The wood on that specimen...

Hibby83

We will never know for sure, but that is my opinion on the Model 8's present at the ambush. Quite the write up you put together with some solid information. I learned some new things from that! I never gave much time to reading up on them. I didn’t post this to talk about truths or misguided inaccu...

Hibby83

Stay vigilant in your searches. There are fair to nice examples to be had for fair money. Pay attention to to estate sales, gun shops and other online auction pages. Good luck. I'm looking for a Remington M81 in 35 Rem or 300 Savage. I seen some on gun broker, all beat up and overpriced. Real Nice a...

Hibby83

Here is the small write up.

I believe the caliber designation. I'm no expert but I don't have confidence in the last part of the write up "my opinion".

Hibby83

Good morning Roger.

The little write up beside it said 30 cal.

Hibby83

I had the joy of going through the Texas Ranger Hall Of Fame & Museum today.

It's a very cool place of history and having the opportunity to see my favorite type of rifle along with others firearms I favor.

What a beautiful rifle!

Hibby83

It appears to be epoxied on.

Somebody brought their idea to action. It looks painful for a lefty like me, definitely not my style.

Hibby83

I was just thinking of the mount itself. I assume it's a leupold or a redfield mount.

For some reason I had ruger on the brain.

It fit the bill for someone. I'm certainly not a fan of it though.

Hibby83

I can't say for sure. It reminds me of a ruger style mounting provision.

Hibby83

Just to return the feedback: My dealings with this Gent were excellent. They could have went south in many ways but we made arrangements by the book, not always easy. He can be trusted to be fair & scrupulously stick to his agreements. We have fun too. Thank you Pyrbird. I certainly repeat the ...

Howdy gents. I'm looking for an early stock configuration Model 81 chambered in 32 Remington. It doesn't have to be beautiful "it has to be functional", I'm also open to good/higher condition examples. If you have what I'm looking for please post a reply or a private message and we can dis...

Is this the one that you were talking about in the other post that I chimed on on?

Thanks MinnesotaDan and 9.3. I cant wait to see what it does/how it works come range day.

Hibby83

Here's a teaser to a new aquisition. What we have here is a 81 from 1948 with a Redfield peep in the classic 35 Remington. The condition of the blue is the best I have on any spring-pole. The wood is very nice also. Doing a full clean up will have to wait, everything feels good with it though. Once ...

Hibby83

Good evening everyone. I just wanted to touch base and give some credit to the fellow enthusiasts that I've had personal purchase dealings with on the forum. These individuals were a pleasure to deal with, whether it was something as simple as a small part, reloading component and even up to an item...

Hibby83

Back on track to the post. I'm with MinnesotaDan on some of the opinions about the rate of increase. I do believe there is a buying bubble, I dont think it'll burst but leak down some. Prices of certain goods may not return. I have a picture from an auction for a high condition early 81 that had the...

Hibby83

Maybe me. Ha

It's on the high end for what I have paid for non rare 8/81's. The blue seemed excellent and the overall condition is what had me jump, along with it having that peep. Did that ring the bell 9.3?

It's supposed to arrive Friday.

You have as good a chance at being right as anyone else. I too have been looking for a decent .35, preferably an 81 and had bid on one last week. My top bid was over $900 and it went for over $1200 I think. I may put in a bid on one or the other couple still on GB, that right now have no bids, but ...

Hibby83

Edited.

It appears you're selling an 81.

Hibby83

A crisco geyser ehhh, sounds real cool! Thanks for the compliment. I was shooting at 35 yards that day. I need bigger stickers if i wanted to shoot at 100, even 50 yards is nice to have 3", I only have 1" and 2" dots at the moment. The Crisco reacts to a high velocity round by explodi...

Hibby83

Sounds like a fun trip, shooting an 8 and an 81. It looks like you have a nice shooting setup , too. I hope that you were able to shred that target. Hey Dan. Hows the crisco react, sounds interesting. I do enjoy shooting water filled cans with the .22 calibers, haven't done much cans with centerfir...

Hibby83

Thank you.

Always a good time when I make a trip to camp.

Sounds like you persevered through some calamity. Hope the whiplash is short lived!

Hibby83

Had a fun trip at the cabin with my parents today, a little bit of shooting and some clean up. I took my 25 Rem Model 8 and my 300 Sav. Model 81. I recently did barrel shroud maintenance on my 25 and I wanted to tune the sights on it. A little bit to the right and down put me where I needed to be. M...

Thanks Cam, no problem. I sure do have a soft spot for that type of scope! I have a Litschert 12x on my Anschutz 54 and a more recent acquisitioned Unertl 15x on a HEAVY barreled sporterized A3 in 30 gov. 06. Sweet sounding SAKO and in a great caliber to boot.

It's a nice hat, wears a little high on the head "like a trucker".

Don't mind the serious look.

Here's a photo of my only Remington center fire bolt action. I picked it up off a coworker around 6 years ago. It's a Model 700 Varmint with a date code from Jan. 1969. It's chambered in .222 Remington, a Lyman S.T.S 15x sits on top. To say it’s a joy to shoot is an understatement! I have yet to use...

And that vintage Saturn Boone scope and mount might be worth as much as the rifle! I have to side with 81police about the collectability of that sight. While it may or may not be a factory repair the 8 appears to look nice overall It's definitely not good on the seller to only have one photo to rep...

Hibby83

Strange indeed.

Have to hand it to him that his photos represent it well!

If a prospective buyer wanted to know the original number, removal of the buttstock could reveal such information “given that’s the original trigger guard”.

There are auctions coming up with M8/81 parts for sale.
No I dont remeber which.

Tried a bunch of the keywords in my search, came up with nothing.

Could you direct message me the link please.

I'll keep a keen eye out for you! I notice that your plug may be partially going through the brazed in stopper " inside the shroud". I believe that the wood is possibly wedging itself there, is that possible with the lock washer? Where did the washer sit when you disassembled the assembly?...

Good luck in your searches. I've only seen one "25 buffer" come up on the auction pages in all my searching. There is always the gamble when buying in general, doesn't even have to be online sales. Hope you get it up and running sooner than later. I had a similar instance with a barreled a...

Cool score on the early stamped 25 cal. I believe you mean 165xx.

I saw that one on broker, I can't figure out what the hole is there for. I'm not sure what that hole would've accomplished to help? Atleast it doesn't look done poorly.

Wow! $1,225.00 took it home. I stand corrected. I thought it would reach $1,500.00+. I hope it found a happy home. Cool old Model 8.
